Welcome to the nomination thread for the Best of Subsim 2016. I thank you for your time and assistance in recognizing the outstanding members of our community.

You can help us decide upon who should receive awards for being our best in the following categories:

Best Poster of the Year - So, have you noticed someone who posts regularly in the forums, he or she is friendly, helpful, interesting, and you enjoy reading what they have to say? Nominate her/him here.

Midshipman of the Year - Which new member (joined in 2016) has been the friendliest/helpful/interesting. Keep your eyes peeled for new guys who join Subsim, share laughs and are good and easy to get along with. Being a new guy ain't easy. Nominees to this category must have a join date of Dec 2015 and later.

Thread of the Year - There are 50~100 new threads every day at Subsim. Some are fluff, some are newsy, some are great points of interest that everyone seems to enjoy. Some threads spawn not only great posts, but memorable discussions that last for weeks and months. Of all the threads started in 2016--let's find that thread we call Thread of the Year. Cannot be a previous winner.

Post of the Year - There are 600 new posts every day at Subsim. That's over 275,000 this year. Of those, one will be Post of the Year 2016. Which one, that's up to you to decide. Cannot be a previous winner.

Funniest Post of the Year - Wit and humor is never in shortage here at SUBSIM. Who's the wittiest and funniest? No, seriously, who?

Mod/Modder of the Year - Let's give it up for the clever fellows who pioneer improvements and fixes to our sub games. For this category, you want to nominate someone who has created a really helpful and popular mod. Also consider how he interacts with the community--is he polite, supportive, and helpful? Does he respond to queries?

Most Helpful Member of the Year - To consider someone for this award, you should feel he is not only friendly and interesting, as is the criteria for the Poster of the Year award, but helpful in evident ways. Such as, this nominee posts links to help solve questions other members have, he supplies answers to questions, and he is civil and doesn't batter people who disagree with him.

Avatar/Signature of the Year - Very simple: if you see a signature or avatar you feel is really interesting, clever, funny, etc., post it here. Sigs should be within the rules pertaining to size. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/faq....ure_image_faqs

Subsim Facebook Poster of the Year - Many Subsim members make great posts of screenshots, game reports, memes, and other naval content. Who is the overall standout of the year?

Subsim Facebook Post of the Year - Of all the posts and memes, which one would you say is the most memorable?

NEW! Subsim Video of the Year - The Subsimmer who made a video and we posted it or linked to it.

Please check the proper format guidelines in the next post.

There may be additional categories that open for nominations in Dec 2016.

Thanks again for your help!

Neal,
SUBSIM

I wonder which one will win

Most Helpful Member of the Year:

I nominate Oberon, because his knowledge is broad and he responds very quickly to questions in a most friendly manner.

:oops: Thank you Eichornchen. :salute:

I would second that nomination for Rockin Robbins as well. The nomination could just as easily be for Rockin Robbin continuing work on Linux and making it work for the Silent hunter series. Wizz seems to agree in post # 35 as well, although, in a different category.

To that end, BarracudaUAK has been very helpful as well in the short time he has been a part of Subsim.

That's okay; everyone here owes you bigtime, after all it was you who first showed me how to use Imgur and bring my posts to life with all those pictures of Dick Van Dyke and Yul Brynner... or maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that? :hmmm:

Reason: Hardcore sim addicts wet dream finally becomes reality with SkyBarons fully functional M4 Enigma machine for SH5/TWoS.

I hereby nominite s7rikeback for Modder of the Year

The category you are nominating for: Mod/Modder of the Year
The name of the nominee (correctly spelled): s7rikeback
The contents of his post or thread in QUOTES: Quoting Rockin Robbins in http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=2440 - "The only difference is that it works now. Jeff-Groves set us on the right path, taught us a little history and S7rikeback executed the plan." There's another post in there somewhere that I have been trying to find for days, and I've given up for now. s7rikeback is standing on the shoulders of Jeff-Groves and Rockin Robbins, who stand on the shoulders of those who've gone before them, but s7rikeback has dug deeper than anyone before him. The simple things, including this: s7rikeback's FotRS U Bible
A link to the post or thread: WIP FOTRS Ultimate Project
Include your reason for the nomination, why you think it deserves an award: What s7rikeback has done, is clean-up the "Stock" version of Silent Hunter, in addition to the Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate Edition mod (besides all the other stuff he's done for the team and mod). The mod went from nearly 3 gig in size, to less than one gig. Who'd a-thunk there was that much junk in the game or in the mod? He took all the tga-based ships, both stock and imported, and has them using dds files. Much improved load time, better / faster / prettier play time... I'm really looking forward to us finishing this up and getting the "base" mod out there.

I also think we could have a "Mod Manager of the Year", sort of like what MLB does... and I nominate Rockin Robbins for that, based upon the same mod and thread with s7rikeback. In his case, a vision, combined with the perseverence and patience to see it through to completion. Lesser fellers would have and have crumbled under less adversity.

Thanks to all. This is the best site, and the best community on the internet, and reflects well on the managers and owners. :salute:
