I nominate shaxper. It's long past time he received the recognition he deserves for starting this community and nurturing it during its early days.
Cei-U! You da man, shax!

I'll nominate thwhtguardian. Not only does he do a ton of stuff on the modern board, but he's just a generally positive asset to the community.

I'll second Shaxper too! I'm going to nominate Confessor. He's got a good perspective on life/comics - and I feel his personality shines through whatever the subject we're discussing.

I'm going to go with The Captain for my choice; he so epitomizes what this community means to me that I had to double check and make sure he hadn't won the award yet( he hadn't but Confessor had! I voted for him!). You just won't find a more well rounded, level headed guy than the Captain here, or anywhere else.

The only reason I've never nominated Icctrombone previously is because I was sure he'd already won this one. Seriously, how has he not? George is positively the friendliest guy around these parts (I once suggested he's a buddy to every member here, and I meant it), and he cares so deeply about this community. No one pushes and second-guesses me harder on CCF events, and I consider that a positive thing! George writes to me when he worries that traffic is too low for a given week, or that a member is feeling ostracized or excluded. He clearly considers this place his home, and he works hard to make sure that each and every one of you feels welcome and content here. I find that remarkable and worthy of note.

I will gladly second Icctrombone. There's nothing I can add to this that shaxper didn't put far more eloquently than I ever could. George and I have sent each other comics when we knew the other was looking for specific things, and he always seems to be engaging with the community in a positive way, looking to make it better and more inviting. As for my nomination, I'm honored and humbled to even be thought of for this award, let alone be put in the same group as the other nominees. This isn't my first nomination, yet each time, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by it.

Thanks for the nomination. It’s cool just to be mentioned with the rest of these fine people. I’m just the batboy on the bench with the murderers row.
