I like this style of giveaways! Thanks ddickinson! +1

Not in any particular order:

foxworks - Very friendly, generous felllow, who has put lots of work into co-hosting (and running) the BBBBoB giveaways.

RagnarBlackmane - another very generous fellow who has hosted lots of giveaways that unfortunately don't get much attention, and being an all-around nice guy to talk to. (Also sharing my passion for Weird Al ;)

Sachys - Willing to help run the BBBBoB giveaways, help the Sigil with their weekly giveaways, and be there to fling feces and provide virtual sausage whenever needed.

IAmSinistar - Yet another generous and helpful presence in this fine community. Lots of giveaways, general forum enthusiasm, and being there to run a tracking thread for big sales like Insomnia.

Grargar - Nice guy, has an extensive knowledge of the general gaming world, lots of useful, helpful contributions to the community, including keeping track of the Humble Bundles, and helping other users.

voodoo47 - I have to mention this cool guy. He's been an invaluable source of information inside the Thief subforum, and has also done work on important patches like TFix.

JMich - Another very helpful user who has made invaluable contributions to the forums.

tfishell - A hard worker when it comes to contacting big/small publishers and developers, and helping games get on GOG.com.

Stooner - Funny guy, one of the best "joke victims" of the forum (see the Hermit Cave), and nice to talk to on PM. (actually.... has anyone seen him recently?)

<3 I wanted to drop in and say a big thank you to everyone. This thread has really made my day... no my year. I don't want to be all girl and all but I have tears in my eyes. I love you all! <3

Thank you ddickinson for being there for me and a big thank you for this awesome GA +1 to infinity!! I love threads like this. Where we can express thanks to people who have affected our lives in so many ways.

I will be added some names to this post in a few when I get my senses back =)

I know we can not nominate you as you are the host but you need to be thanked and deserve a nomination so pfft.

ddickinson - She has been here for me though so much. She is a rock for me to talk to you and she has so much great information and insight. This forum is a better place because she is here.

trentonlf - He is my fur-baby buddy. We have great conversation about our kitty and conversations about life. He is very generous with GA and his kindness is unlike anyone elses.

stg83 - He took the time out of his day a few months ago to PM about my brothers passing. He has kind words and understanding. He is compassionate and insightful. He is someone I have great conversations with. He is an asset and a vital part of the forums.

Ragnarblackmane - for our great conversations! He has made me feel at home and included here. He is a wonderful and caring person! I enjoy our conversations more then he will ever know.

SalarShushan - Always has kind words. A staple in the forums and very knowledgeable. I love reading his posts.

I nominate HereForTheBeer. With all his stories, about his job especially, he has found a way to share more of himself on these forums than people generally do. It feels good to learn about someone through the stories they tell, not just through the ideas they have. Kudos to HereForTheBeer!
I nominate undeadcow, who is a great trader.
I nominate:
BillyMaysFan59
xkcx
Sachys
trentonlf
IAmSinistar
genkicolleen
real.geizterfahr

Because all of them did giveaways, and that's cool! All of them did that at least twice, too.
My nominations are, in no particular order (or maybe it is...):

TinyE: He adds so much humor to these forums, plus he owns donkeys. donkeys! Also, he lives in the UP which is renowned for it's pasties, and that always makes me laugh because pasties aren't only meat pies.

Ragnarblackmane: I nominate my dwarven nemesis. I have had fun getting to know him over steam chat and he's from the same state I'm from, so you gotta support your own :) He likes history, as do I, so I have enjoyed his history thread. (and aw shucks for nominating me *kicks dirt*)

Sunshinecorp's wit is wonderful and very funny. Plus, the contributions to the porn threads will be spoken of for eons to come. even though I was threatened with a pitchfork earlier today, I'd like to nominate her/him.

Madth3 is indefatigable on the discount thread.

ddickinson, as always, thanks for such a wonderful and thoughtful GA. You are part of what makes the gog forums great :)

I nominate (mostly people I believe I have not already nominated in similar giveaways):

- JMich -- because he is an ever-helpful and super-kind guy, but even more than that because I was deeply involved in killing him on day 1 of two consecutive Mafia games and I feel awfully bad about it (even though the second time was really not my fault, really, I swear!)

- HypersomniacLive -- for caring about this site and trying against all odds to force GOG to improve it

- ChrisSD -- for writing an awesome utility that partly fixes what GOG still has not

- madth3 -- for compiling so many important lists and for promoting MaGog

- Eli -- for his work on the GOG Wiki and for he knows what...

Thanks ddickinson for a new generoys GA +1.

I choose 3 people, but I should choose a dozen of others for making this forum the pkace to be :

- Trentonlf for his extra generosity towards the GOG community in general and towards me in particular.
- madth3 for keeping (but he is not the only one btw) the Gaming Deals Thread updated.
- xckx for being a daily generous Pope.
I nominate <span class="bold">SCPM</span> for being possibly the most prolific Good Ol' GOG game player. Most of us just sit on our pile of GOGs - SCPM however, actually plays them :o

So, who better to give a GOG to than someone who will play it :P

Also, SCPM - I know you'll probably not accept, but I'm still gonna nominate you anyway :P
My nomination is a little personal, I guess, might be considered "greedy", because it was own benefit that caused it, but the amount of pleasure I got makes me feel he's worth it.

I'd like to nominate desic for the incredible amount of help he gave me in getting Baldur's Gate 2 to work on linux for me.

Also, while I heard he has almost every game on gog, so I don't know how meaningful it'd be, but I'd also like to nominate Barry_Woodward for constantly bringing to attention indie gems that could feature on gog.

Thanks for another generous giveaway, ddickinson. If you weren't the gifter, you would be one of my nominees! :P

Anyway, my personal thanks would have to go the following people in alphabetical order:

Barefoot_Monkey for his very, VERY useful script.

Barry_Woodward for being extremely passionate about wanting to buy every game from GOG. :P

BillyMaysFan59 for being a very generous gifter with interesting giveaways.

DampSquib for being a ninja gifter.

foxworks for being a very generous gifter, as well as one the two hosts of the BBBBoB giveaways.

IAmSantastar for constantly thinking that it's Christmas, thus feeling the need to gift left and right (and also up and down, why limit oneself to 1 axis? :P).

My fellow countryman JMich for being a thorough fact-checker.

madth3 for keeping us informed of new deals.

mrkgnao for his constant work at the MaGog search engine.

real.geizterfahr for his "100" giveaway. That's some real dedication right there.

Sachys for being the other host of the BBBBoB giveaways, as well as the representative of the Absent Friends giveaways.

tfishell for being extremely passionate about wanting to bring new games to GOG.

tinyE for being a thread derailer.

trentonlf for being another amazing gifter, especially considering he is a GOG member for less than a year.

xckx for gifting games non-stop.

I am 100% certain that I have left some other people out. Do feel free to chew me out on this.

I want to nominate a bunch of people:

First, I want to nominate foxworks for his hard work towards the community and for having awesome conversations with him.
Then I would like to nominate xckx because he gifts mountains of games.
Another nomination from me is trentonlf because he makes a lot of awesome gifts and giveaways, awesome conversations and joins TWAG game sessions whenever he has free time during the weekend.
Lastly, I would like to nominate real.geizterfahr. He may not be the Pope of GOG, but he is the GOGBear.

Edit:

I would also like to nominate Barry_Woodward for his amazing contribution in pulling Cinemaware games on GOG.

Edit 2: I had forgotten to nominate Dischord and samlii. How could I? They are probably the 2 most wonderful gifters in the whole community and I often have very interesting conversations with them. Amazing users.

Too late - I already nominated you <span class="bold">here</span>, and I would hate to have to carry out the warning that I mentioned in the second sentence :-). If people wish to honour your request and nominate foxworks instead of you, then that is fine, but I think you should let yourself have at lease 1 deserved nomination.
