Maybe instead of turning this into a popularity contest this thread could be used as a place for shout-outs about how a specific member aided (or abetted!) you on the forum or added to your enjoyment of the hobby in some way.
Can you tell I just came from a 2-hour asset-mapping retreat?
I'll start.
Thanks to Polarbear for all the great pictures he posts that really add to the enjoyment of individual pieces while giving them a historical human touch.
Thanks to Wraith for the great humor he injects on the forum.
Thanks to Jazzeum for the endless hours of moderating he does.
Thanks for Rob for making new members feel welcome.
Thanks to the Lt. for helping ramp up the glossy portion of the forum.
Thanks to Warrior for bringing the wargaming experience to the forum with his dios.
Thanks to wadepat for bringing calm and levelheadedness to discussions.
The trouble with being the administrator is I know and appreciate so many of you there could easily be no end to this list-please don't feel slighted if I haven't named you personally. You probably fall under one of these thanks:
Thanks to the guys who post pics of their collections, those who take the time to post the great how-tos, those who take time to help identify mystery figures for others, those who post trivia questions for the enjoyment of other members, those who help newbies learn the ropes on how to post and how to upload images, manufacturers who take the time to interact with and inform their collectors through posting here, collectors who are willing to provide manufacturers with feedback, my fellow dealers who share their insight on the hobby, members who help each other find that elusive piece...I could still go on. Consider all of yourselves thanked and appreciated! I'm feeling the love

Best regards to all,
