* * * The 2009 RWI Awards * * *
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the 2009 RWI awards! First of all, thank you to everyone who voted. Plenty of votes came through and we now have winners to announce in all the categories... :cool2:
So, without further ado, here are the winners of the 2009 RWI awards......
Rookie of the year
First, up is the rookie of the year. To qualify, nominees had to have joined between 1/1/09 and 12/31/09 and have a minimum of 500 posts. 10 members qualified this year, but only one took the crown... And the winner is:
Jelly Joe
Now, we all know Joe likes his poultry, so as the resident rooster I would like to extend my congratulations to him on behalf of the whole forum. Well done pollo! You are a great example to all newcomers. You came, you made this your home, and you started giving back from the very start. Congratulations on a very well deserved award.
Mod of the year
Now on to the next category... In the mod of the year category we had a few strong nominees. But once again, only one raised to the top... And the winner is:
Guru
Well done guru! Your hard work and generous help to noobies didn't go unnoticed over the last year. Which is why your promotion to Admin didn't come as a surprise to anyone. Your true passion for watches and your outstanding contribution to RWI make you one of the great assets of this forum.
Please everyone join me in congratulating guru on this award!
Admin of the year
And now on to the next category... In the Admin of the year category we had five very strong nominees. But there can only be one winner... The envelope please... And the winner, by a significant margin, is:
Trailboss99
TB quickly raised to the top in RWI as one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable members of teh forum. Mate, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the forum! There is no doubt that with your leadership this forum is heading towards even greater things.
Dealer of the year
Now, the next category is one of my favourites... The dealer of the year... Five dealers were nominated for 2009, and for the second year in a row this dealer trashed the competition to take the crown. And the winner is:
Hont
Hont, thank you for being an example to all dealers. You have proven over and over again what it means to be a trusted RWI dealer. Now please hurry up and send me the Rolex I ordered last night before Chinese New Year arrives!!!
Member of the year
Ok, now on to a biggie: the member of the year award. Again, we had a very strong set of nominees this year, but according to the votes, one stood out above the rest. And once again, the winner is:
Trailboss99
Congratulations trailboss!! Now, who's putting out those bushfires while you're here helping out noobies?? But seriously, without TB's efforts, I don't know if RWI would be the same place as it is now, or if it would have the bright future ahead that it currently has.
Thank you for everything you do for the forum. Please everyone join me in congratulating trailboss on this well-deserved award!
The 2009 RWI Hall of Fame inductees
And finally, our 2009 inductees into the RWI Hall of Fame. A group of very strong nominees was put forward based on their contribution to RWI not only in the past year, but throughout the life of the forum. These guys have gone above and beyond in making this forum the place that it is, and we all owe them big time.
Please join me in congratulating them on this honour. The 2009 inductees are:
Daytona4Me
Fakemaster
R2D4
Collectively, these guys are responsible for nearly 25,000 posts!! And that doesn't take into consideration the enormous amount of work they do behind the scenes, via PM, in the chatbox or offline for this forum and its members. What can I say about these guys? This forum would simply not be what it is without them! :notworthy:
So, everyone, thank you for voting and thank you for reading. I hope you'll join me in congratulating this group of outstanding RWI members. I for one am looking forward to another great year ahead. See you next year for the 2010 awards!!!
