My votes. Maybe I'm sucking up a bit to everyone, but I appreciate everyone who takes part and just because you didn't get your name here it doesn't mean I don't notice what you do. There are only ten or fifteen of us properly active (maybe more, I haven't counted?) and everyone puts in a high effort to keep this old ship floating.
Best Newcomer (Vote hollie3sa, Nabuco or Bruno only): hollie3sa, it has to be! *Raises a glass*

Best contributor of the year (discussions): erwin greven, who regularly posts race streams, keeps the motorsport calendars up to date, and makes sure that motorsports besides F1 don't get ignored. Also, you're one of the longest serving members and we're glad to still have you here :thumbsup:

Best contributor of the year (multimedia): Motorsportrace for sure. CPDB and Crash Photos in general would be so much poorer without him.

Brainbox of the year (Most knowledgeable): Everso Biggyballies. We'd be lost without his encyclopaedic knowledge.

Most dedicated member (puts the most work in): Andy. Not many bikes fans here, but Andy keeps posting. I've never really paid motorcycle racing much attention until Andy come along and I really appreciate the inspiration. Thanks for your help with the race streams too :thumbsup:

Favourite forum section: Motorsport Videos. The ID section definitely gets the brain working though.

Favourite video post: I think sebbbl's post showing the alternate angle to Lauda's crash, which I never, ever assumed would exist

Member you miss the most: strad, he was opinionated and that was good

Best Returning Member: Ok, fine. DoubleFart. It was nice to see flyinsii and P34 again though :)

Member you most don't want to leave: Well, the loss of Jesper or kals would be a disaster, but I don't want anyone to leave.

Appreciation Award: I appreciate seeing Manfred Cubenoggin drop in from time to time. sadsac has posted some good stuff too this year.

The Poke Award: Sam

What do you wish for at The Fastlane?: I'm happy with where we're at. The Fastlane is better now than five years ago IMO. HOWEVER. new blood would always be nice (coming soon, maybe... :wink: )

I was going to give you the Poke Award, but I figured kals might :wink:


Anyway, why don't you nominate some people and maybe they'll do the same to you :sly:

I'm not going into details but behind the scenes I'm working hard on this by trying to encourage some smaller forums to team up and merge with ours. News may be coming soon (after Xmas)

not to worry there. An extremely exhausting period for me, both at work and also somewhat on the private level.
Given the work-deadline is gone come Wednesday, I assume I will be more involved again soon :smiley:

that said, my love for motorsport is sadly going down the drain...

for your info - Rui who was formerly a member here would love to contribute, but lost his password/account data apparently. I have him on facebook, so I'm sure I can guide him back here if registering is easy.

Maybe there is also interest in the Russian member on TBK- to 'contribute' here?

Rui? Okay, I can reset his account if he likes. Ask him for his email address (I have something ending in @netc.pt for him) and I'll give him a temporary password.

Russian member??

If that guy comes anywhere near this forum, I'll not only immediately eject him and make sure all Russian IPs get banned, but I'll also do the same to you Antonov. Are we clear?

He has a perfect 100% record on this board. 1 post, one piece of useful information.

viewtopic.php?f=27&t=10474&p=165306#p165306

So you may consider explaining to the rest of us what the problem is.

Lol

Well for a start, I wasn't talking about rui. And secondly, I was referring to a Russian nutjob who has been banned more times from TBK than TBK has had hot dinners.
