There are several more but these folks have taken the major load for the forum throughout this and all previous years!!!!
The load that most of you don't see or know about. And that's the way it is supposed to be. But they earned the recognition.

So many give so much of themselves to this community. It's hard to pick. Many do things behind the scenes that we don't even see. I remember as a boy I would read as much about outdoor adventures as I could get my hands on. Fishing, hunting and camping for me was like Disneyland. The best stories were the ones that you could close your eyes and be right there with the author.
Airguns provide me a portal back to my youth. This forum provides me a vehicle for the journey. All that would be left would be the roadmap.
For me, that roadmap is our own "Shadow".
Ed puts passion and spirit in every post he writes. So humble and honest. A true boyhood role model.
I'd like to nominate and vote for Shadow.
-
Shadow has my vote. Been enjoying his adventures since I joined.
-
Rocker1 & Shadow are both excellent candidates If both make the final cut I will have a tough time casting only one vote. ::) ;D
-
In no particular order:
Too bad only five. There are so many top contributors. Thank goodness some of my picks are already in the HOF.
- AAA Tom Costan (for building the Slayer)
- oldpro
- Wayne52
- Ribbonstone
- Motorhead

I would like to nominate lloyd-ss for the HoF…. While life has got in the way of his recent participation (I thought you were supposed to have MORE time once you retired? ), there is no question that Lloyd has contributed a huge amount of knowledge and technical development, both of which he shares freely with all of us, to our sport.... I know for sure I would not be where I am today.... nor would our sport.... without his invaluable input....

Rocker1 is my vote. Has been helpful to me in the past.
-
I have a hard time between Rocker1 and Lloyd-ss.
:P
Both have been great friends and teachers to me in many ways!
Then Lloyd never threatened to shoot me.
But Rocker1 gave me a great deal on a lathe and the Nova.

So I looked at this a bit and I tried to think of who I have gotten the most out of far as information and entertainment from this forum over the years (excluding prior winners)...
In no particular order...
Knifemaker... always willing to help out where he can and seems to genuinely enjoy doing so. Knows his stuff, too.
OldPro... will say that nothing irritates me more than someone in the airgun business who only posts when there is a dollar to be made and then is silent. Never seen this out of Travis. He engages topics, regardless of if it's a sale or his product or what... and when it is his product, can be rest assured that he will stand behind it. Gotta love that
Ribbonstone... thought provoking posts...sometimes too much so for my limited cranial capacity...but entertaining nonetheless!!
-
i give my vote to lloyd
-
Motorhead,and Rocker1, is what is bouncing around in my head.
Tom
-
This is a tough assignment for sure. All in all, I've got to tip my hat to David(Rocker1).
pv
-
David and Lloyd are my votes- meaning Rocker1 and Lloyd-SS
There's a few others that have really pitched in a lot. A few? More like dozens!
-
How great is it that there are so many choices of good people to pick from?

I'm very thankful we have the vast range of talented folks that call GTA home. And that are very willing to give of their knowledge and time to help others. I am following this thread closely as always. I see several great and deserving nominations. But I also see some that are just one on one more or less. This award HAS to be for someone that has given throughout the whole year to the most members of this forum family. PLEASE think about and consider this when you make your nomination.
And I will remind everyone once again, there are folks working EVERY DAY giving of their time for this forum that you do not see. It would be very unfair not to recognize them and what they do. Because without their dedication to you and this forum, we may not even be having this discussion at all. It's that simple.
Please think about your nominations. WHO has given all year long to this forum? ALL of your volunteer staff and those I listed in particular. There would be no GTA without them!!!

Time to pick the winner

I want to publicly thank those who tossed my name in the hat. I didn't make the cut, but that's ok. I wish all of the finalist the best of luck. You have earned it.
