Jeremy wrote:I've nominated Colin Kennedy (Newf) - although I don't know if it's appropriate - I nominated him because of the amount of help he gives at the .org forum which has way more newbs than this forum - and I think he gives more help there than all the people who have been nominated combined give here (nothing against them - because modified doesn't have the same amount of newbs that .org has). Obviously these awards are modified awards so I don't know if help outside of the forum should be taken into account - but regardless of that - I just wanted to spend this time to thank Colin for all his help - I'm sure he makes a big difference. Clayton Chin and Jochen Bauer also deserve big thanks for their help!!
Colin Kennedy! Same reason - I do not have to decide if he will come into the list - but I can definitely make my nomination - thanks for helping
Say word. I think Colin is one of the most helpful people. He explains things in a very good way. I think I learned mirages from his posts. I couldn't grasp it untill I read some of his posts.
I notice on .org that Clayton is always helping newbs out. I bet if you actually counted all of his posts (probably here and .org) the majority of them would be him helping people out.
Jochen is also reeeeaaaaally helpful. He explains things really well and english isn't even his first language! Doctor Jay is the man.
Those are my three nominations. I can't decide which is the most helpful. My opinions are mostly based on .org though.l

Wowsers. I'm flattered, but if you're going to recognise anyone for work done outside of the forum, it has to be the big fellas who built the footbag community, and built the big web resources. Steve G and his cronies who built .ORG, Eric Chan, whos site tought me ALL the basics, and Ellis Piltz, who built the most concise, accurate, useful, and damned cool footbag site to date. I'd say that half of my posts on the .ORG newb section are little more than links to sites built by these guys.
It's pretty rare that Steve's on the forum these days, and Eric and Hood have already been done, so I guess I'd like to nominate Ellis Piltz, for making (and continuing to upgrade (v5!!!)) the best resourse for freestyle footbag on the web.
Edit: I'd also like to say, huge props to everyone who goes out of their way to answer a question now and then. I'd like to think that it really does add up, and is helping our sport.
While there's all kinds of awesome databasing and stuff about footbag information, I always see colin online (all day.. pretty sad, cause I am too) helpin the new ones out.

Kevin? (not sure which Kevin since Sen didn't feel the need to specify... - I can think of two Kevins who post on this forum and more who play footbag... )
Remember with these comps it's up to you to interpret the question however you like!

You are right in my opinion. Ellis Piltz is the guy. He has done so much with flipsider. He has wasted so much of his free time just to help n00bs and promote footbag.

Tsk, tsk. Using the "wasted" word. Shame, shame.

Sorry for that. I'm estonian so I don't speak English that good.
I personally think everybody who voted for me made a mistake but thanks . Some of the other candidates really impress me with their helpfulness and should be congratulated no matter how many votes they got (because they are way more helpful than I am ) Anyway I'm honoured to have won such a cool award
Note you don't actually have to be a queen to win this award - it's a figure of speech
Remember you can always PM me or email your nomination if you want it to remain private. I'm expecting the winner to throw a tantrum claiming that they aren't the biggest drama queen at all
Doctor Jay is the man.

not to mention that I vote for myself
