Maybe there was some confusion between "modder" and "moderator". Yes, Skwasjer was amajor force in 2009. By being one of the finalists, he was a top candidate.
But, if you want to know, here are some of the discussion comments (names omitted to protect the innocent and chronic bad spellerz)>

Can Hitman be nominated? Hitman is just all around friendly and helpful with members who are modding.

Hitman is also active in both SH3 and SH4 forums, being equally open and helpful in both. When ****** kind of stole his thunder with ****modx Hitman didn't get territorial. He jumped in with both feet and helped!
Well, those were Hitman's methods! If ANYONE should have lost their cool, it should have been he. He not only agreed with my post, he provided illustration, evidence and support.
Not only for his mods, but for his all-around good guyness, Hitman would be a great choice.

Yes he is a good choice and to be honest will work at something he really wants until his eyes bleed. He is doing it now with the new interface for SH4 uboats. Although not his mod he is up to his neck with working on it, being supportive and helping it come to light. Hitman is at the top of the list for me in the category.

If you search all posts by Hitman he is all over the modding scene like a rash helping everyone. Post after post is nothing but helping out and answering questions. He is very supportive to all.

The other obvious choice of modder of the year is skwasjer. Without S3D very few of the mods would be here in the advanced form they are. Showing favoritism to no one, hard-nosed as an icebreaker about providing equal opportunity to mod SH3 and SH4, skwasjer has quietly revolutionized all modding for the two games.
You can pick any mod you want and skwasjer is an indispensable part of it.

...and the discussion continued, pointing out the merits of both worthy guys. Looks like Mr. Rash was selected this year
