@PMC

If you do not mind my asking, what kind of bike do you have?  I grew up with Schwinns and I loved them.  I do not currently have a bike but have been considering getting a good mountain bike.  Can you make any suggestions?

Hehe, of course not!

I've a 2004 Specialized Enduro, which is a much better bike than I'll ever be a rider.  The Enduro features 5 inches of suspension travel at either end, four pot hydraulic disk brakes, 27 gears and is made out of aluminium.  

As for a good MTB, you can't go wrong with Specialized.  The Hardrock is entry level and although it's rather brutal is an excellent bike.  The Rockhopper is next up and is a much more comfortable machine.

I vote that anyone with more than 1000 posts be excluded from the awards to prevent all the typing-happys winning everything :-P (all nominees so far have been high-posters :-D ).

Just give the award to X-ray.
He is this site's young and rising star.
In a short period of time since he joined us, he managed to turn quite a few heads towards his direction, and the post count reflects that.

I don't think that it would be fair for some old and boring poster to snatch the award away, yet again. :-)

Just the one but it was a cracker.

I have my usual favourites (I won't name you lot because I'll no doubt miss someone out) but this year I've really noticed these guys who I hadn't seen that much of before, if at all:

Blobrana - hum... what a mind and from my part of the world too. And pretty. :-D
Bjjones - Possibly the most open-minded, right-wing, Christian, republican person I've ever had the pleasure of talking to.
Eyso - Off the wall and always makes me smile.
X-Ray - Groaners and a good balancing force in any fire-arms debate. And he does the same job as me burd.

And of course, the one, the only, WAYNE HUNT, without whom none of this would be possible.

And cheers to everyone else for keeping the site so diverse.

You know, if we did implement some award system, you could have equivalent awards for people in different rank ranges.

That way there's no post count advantage. You wouldn't want as many divisions as there are ranks - maybe gather all the folks with 1-499 posts into one group, all the people from 500-999 in another, then 1000-1999, then 2000-3999, then 4000+

You'd then have exactly the same sort of awards for each category.

Or am I taking this a might too serious? :-D

You could still have special awards for various things applicable to all of the users, such as "best disinherited demi geordie by the handle karlos" and so on :-D

I'm going back to the Island over the new year. I'll keep and eye open for the sock.
