The nominees in the category Best deskthority contributor 2014 are:

Daniel Beardsmore: Wiki Master • Deskthority is a wiki just as much as it's a forum. In fact, that's our biggest traffic draw and the real face of DT to the world. One contributor stands above all the rest when it comes to the wiki. While the rest of us oggle pretty keycap porn or bash out our thoughts on one switch versus another, Daniel's deep in the salt mines wiki, piecing together the history of our favourite designs, that the world would otherwise so easily forget.

HaaTa: Relic Hunter Extraordinaire • There's collectors, who live to stock their stash, and then there's HaaTa. He doesn't just fill his shelves, he gets down and dirty and dissects these rarities, so the rest of us can have a look! He's the Smithsonian of the keyboard world, with more than just a hint of Doc Brown

Matt3o: for his projects and group buys • The forum's busiest robot, matt3o forged ahead with another remarkable year. Armed with his own CNC machine, his projects are shifting up a gear. And he showed the keyboarding world precisely how a group buy should be done, starting from the comprehensive interest check and ending in some of the best caps of this, or any, year.

Muirium: Master Poster and Secretary • After winning the award for best forum contributor last year, Muirium didn't rest on his laurels. Cruising past, well, everybody in the total posts list, he is always helpful, interested, inquisitive and responsive. He also became our club's first secretary, helping with a lot of club duties.

And the Wingnut for Best deskthority contributor 2014, as voted for by the members of deskthority, goes to...

What's better than dreaming up a sweet idea? Actually making it happen!

Nice, congratulation, unfortunately I did neither have the money nor the use for these keycaps on both occassions.

How about making an MX mount ring and giving it to your wife? Who wouldn't like a great gem like that!

Haha I'm surprised no-one has actually done that before what with all the CC worship and all.
They might cost as much as 2 months of a man's wages at some point...

she has very thin fingers, maybe a bracelet or a necklace :)

A necklace is probably more practical. Wingnuts are quite light, but likely to catch on things with their wings.
