    I would have to nominate Tom.

    The way he deals with life and the things it can throw at you is a real inspiration.

    His diary is a must read. I am always amazed when reading how he can keep a diary so upbeat despite everything going on.

    He is also a really good guy and always available for a chat.

    Its people like him , Jac and yourself that makes me come back every day for a read.

    The forum and Sky Community comes in for unfair criticism but it has helped me in the last couple of months.

    So from the community I would like to thank Jac , CPFC , LMFAllin , HHY , Hendrik and Tom.

    Ice_Tiger     Tremendous courage. Even trying to facilitate games days before his passing.

    StayOrGo.    Puts himself out for others.

    EssexPhil.   Gave a great example of what can be achieved.

    Steve Ball
    Graham Carter
    Tikay

    Steve was always great and curteous at the tables and how he dealt with the hand he was given was an inspiration to us all.
    Graham for his selfless work with charity and also in helping other poker players to improve. Always takes his good and bad beats well.
    Tikay, I know didn't start this thread for himself but what a great ambasador he is for Sky and poker.  Going above and beyond the call of duty to improve the experience for us all.

    Thanks to you three and the many more that make playing poker on sky great fun and help me improve at the great game.

    Stay or Go for everything that he's done on for the community and also being an all round good guy

    Irishrose, just because she's Rose, very generous, kind, compassionate and caring and loved by everyone and can play poker very well, just wish she would realise this and she shouldn't doubt her ablitlites.

    Chilling, for being funny and sarcastic and an all round good person

    ICE_TIGER

    for his excellent contributions, to feedback and questions, on the community.
    Always a gent at the tables, never a cross word from him, and for what he faced,
    during the whole of 2016. despite the inevitable, He was always looking forward, 
    even days before his passing, he was planing to play live poker events in 2017.
    You don't need a dictionary to find the meaning of the word courage, 
    just google Steve Ball, R.I.P

    STAYORGO

    For his tireless efforts on the forum, this guy just gives.

    SCOUSE_RED

    Generous with his time and effort on the community.
    Where would we be without table. ;-)

    That's 3 I could go on, there are so many more that deserve a mention

    I will give you three sets of names.

    1) GaryQQQ, Aussie, all the DTD/Orfordable admins, ScouseRed and all others who have contributed in giving their time to the community by uploading  results/tables etc. An often thankless task.

    2) Everyone on the charity thread who either participates or contributes.

    3) The whole Admin team (headed by Tikay of course) from Sky Poker in keeping this community forum going.

    Stayorgo - The Charity thread is brilliant. And he's simply a nice guy as well

    Aussie09 - I don't always see eye to eye with Rob. However, I have a lot of respect for the huge amount of work he puts into his tables which people like and brings people to the forum. He's opinionated but I like that. He makes the forum a better place.

    Tomgoodun - Tom is my hero. His thread is wonderful. A truly inspiring man. He writes with such charm and wit. He never has a bad a word for anyone. He hates to see rows and tries to calm them. I'd urge anyone who hasn't read his thread in the rail to have a look. I'd love to see his thread moved to poker chat where more would see it.

    Man!! 3 is hard....

    Been thinking about this for few days.  BTW I really liked Maxally's post and totally agree with it but....

    I've gone for the posters whose posts in 2016 I "CLICKED" on first  when I logged in .... and a few others I've met on the tables & admired along the way....

    GOLD - GARYQQQ - for services to "I came 3rd in the mini last night and I'll see my name on Gary's thread" WHOOHOO!  I still miss his thread!

    SILVER - TIKAY1/10  - for services to "OH NO....TK had a comp today and I'm late hame and I've been left with rubbish!"  OH and services to Skypoker in general of course....

    BRONZE - DOHHHHHHH or as I call him.. DO7H - for services to "the diary ofreclusive.. pizza eating, beer swilling, poker players everywhere" .  JJD Has turned his life around this year.  I was gonna give him GOLD but, he's been to Scotland wayy too many times this year.

    Now for those "who didn't  quite make it" ....

    SCOUSEBLUE "cough" - for services to " Spreadsheets everywhere"  ;-)

    STAYORGO - for services to charity..but when you're on my table, I prefer GO!

    SOLACK - for services to being always there..

    I'm running short of names now so...last one....

    MATTBATES - ;-)  

    Pad

    In no particular order.


    Darkangel - Great personality, always cheering and showing support in chatbox, genuinely brightens up my day. 


    Aussie 09/ GaryQQQ - Agree with comments above, for the continued effort they put in with recording results.

    StayorGo aka the G-dog. I echo the sentiments above, great charity initiative, and seems like an all round nice fella. Not a bad poker player either.  ;)

    Morning.

    Firstly, please don't include me in these replies, as I'm just doing my job, & I actually enjoy fielding questions & helping folks. I've very appreciative of those who mentioned me though. For those that did NOT nominate me, I've arranged for the DOOM switch to be turned on for you. That'll teach you.
     
    So let's now whittle the most popular nominees down.
