Title: Modder of the Year.
Nominee: Stiebler
Thread: NYGM Supermod.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=139231

Yes, the thread is five years old and so is the mod, but any time anybody has a question, a suggestion or needs help, Stiebler is right there to give it. He rarely posts anywhere else these days, but he is constantly posting updates and answering every question that arises.

Maybe that qualifies him for Most Helpful instead, but he also posts updates and helps people with add-ons for NYGM. I think he deserves some recognition.

[Fubar2Niner]

Never used it but seconded, if for no other reason than Stieblers support

Best regards.

A warm and moving topic from a member of our community on a topic that doesn't contain any controversial content but more on life's trials and tribulations and how perseverance and tolerance can actually make it all worthwhile in the end.

I'll second that nomination.

Why? --- Well, if one of us guys here had started that topic, it would have been like this:

Post 1: "I saw that condo the other day, had some trouble getting it for the right price, all the papers done, getting rid of my apartment, but at the end I got it. Still some work to do here and there, but I'll keep you informed (maybe)."

Post 2: "Nice!"

Post 3: "Congrats."

Post 4: "Pictures or it didn't happen."

Post 5 - 10: a mixture of post # 2 - 4

Finish

And what do we have here? 89 pages of humour so far. But that seems to have to do with the frau - I still remember a topic started by Frau Kaleun having the hiccups...

Post of the year
OP: eddie
Thread: Old Buna Retiring?

But I am a bit more actve now, I do one situp a day. I sit up in bed around 8 AM, look at the alarm clock, realize I don't have to be anywhere or doing anything, then I lay back down! I'm slowly getting back in shape, for what, I have no clue.

Reason: Very funny, and true. Especially the last line

Guidelines
Nominees have to be active members at the time of nomination.
You cannot nominate yourself (duh).
Threads and posts nominated should have begun in 2013.

Format - VERY IMPORTANT!
When you post a nomination, you must include:
The category you are nominating for (Post of the Year, Modder of the Year, etc.)
The name of the nominee (correctly spelled).
The contents of his post or thread in QUOTES. Don't simply say, "He said this" and a link, include at least part of his post.
A link to the post or thread. For sigs, post the image.
Include your reason for the nomination, why you think it deserves an award.


Voting for BOS categories Dec 15, 2013

Throughout this year, if you come across a post or thread that you think is really noteworthy, post a link, the quote, and your argument. This way we can summarize the whole year easily come this December.

Note: Don't post something every day/week, make sure you feel sure that when you post, it will be a worthy candidate for Best Poster, Best Thread, Most Helpful Member, etc. I am not trying to dissuade you from posting what you think is a good candidate, but we don't want 300 nominations for each category. If we end the year with 25~40 each, that would be best.

**********************

Please keep this particular forum on-topic at all times, so it's easier to sort through down the road.

Most helpful:
Admiral FIFi : He is always responsive to queries, consistently online, technically proficient and his mods list is straightforward-in correct order, always improving and immediately available to the exploring nubs looking for wisdom in uncharted waters. And he can do it in Spanish with a mod for Vigo Bay, saving me a trip back to lLa Rochelle for resupply. As a computer dyslexic new guy myself, his advice is is among the top five that I routinely search out and follow in the Subsim fleet with confidence.

[Feuer Frei!]

Mod of the Year:

TDW's Generic Patcher for SH 5.

Brilliant work by arguably the most knowledgable and gifted modder here on subsim.

The tool is amazing and allows the player to patch out bugs left in by Ubisoft, which inturn allows for much better gameplay, both in realism and functionality.

Of course this is not its only function.

For further reading on Generic Patcher, go here:

Well done TDW, and thank you for your brilliant contributions

HunterICX for funniest post of the year ...

why is because it speaks for itself

Funnest post of the year..BossMark
Thread Heartless Tories strike again
Post Number 2289

The Tory Government has announced that benefit cheats will now be dealt with as harshly as fraudulent bankers.

I'm not sure giving them Knighthoods is the right way to go.

One of the funnest posts I have read to date. A Witty sarcastic post with a underline message.

Post Of The Year: GoldenRivet.
Thread: Is It Wrong (General Topics)
Post: #61+#64

Sublime explanation of the odds for and against relationships with wide age differences. Says what many of us would like to, but better than most of us can.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...4&postcount=61
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...8&postcount=64

[edit] I originally copied post #64, then realized my mistake. I left it up because #61 and #64 really can be taken as a whole.

Title: Modder of the Year.
Nominee: makman94
Thread: [REL] M.E.P v4.2 ( ManosEnvironmentPro -version4 )
Reason: Made, probably, one of the most used environmental mods out there.

[CaptainHaplo]

Title: Thread of the Year
Nominee: Gut Wrench
Thread: 2013 Subsim Fantasy Football Reports
Location: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=207006

Reason for Nomination:

The "reports" themselves are vastly entertaining, and help create interest among both the community and the players. Given that this has become an annual "tradition" for Subsim, it is noteworthy that Gut Wrench has been willing to donate quite a few late hours to the role of "Sports Reporter" - especially since the reports are posted after every Monday Night game.

The humor, wit and camaraderie that is shared and created by the thread makes it noteworthy and well worth a look at for "thread of the year".

Yes - other threads may get more posts or more people posting - but few run as long and stay relevant (and on topic in GT!). Some threads may burn brighter, others hotter - but few last the ~4 months of life that the Subsim FF reports does. What is more - it does it not just once - but every year! How many other posts nominated for "POTY" can claim that?

Ok, nominatations are now open for your choice of Moderator of the Year. We have a really good team, there are no bad moderators here. I suggest you base your nom on interactions you have had with a moderator, or observations you have made on a moderator handling an issue. Maybe you were at the U-boat bar too long and had to get an infraction--did the moderator handle it with courtesy and professionalism? Nominate him. Have you seen a moderator defuse a situation with humor or fellowship? Nominate him.

Post you Moderator of the Year candidate here, with you evidence and reason.
Thanks!

Second the nomination of makman94.
Excellent mod and very timely responses and concerns over any issues.
