None of my nominations made it through sadly the list grows every year, but this is a good place to honor our beloved long lasting members here. Anybody would deserve to win, besides Jesleyh, he obviously deserves 2nd.
Sad not to see trekky here, miss my buddy But at least it makes it easy to once again vote for Ian - not at all to undermine the greatness of the other three. There’s just one guy here who mentored me a bit when I was a little rascal/annoying prick, helped me become less annoying online and participate in the best game Daily has had (maybe bar MG), and filled me with hours of joy reading amazing stories. Four legends of the site but on a personal experience Ian wins out
Spoiler
And then hours of joy creating fantasy riders and teams for non-starter games afterwards

It's actually impossible for me to even list all of the members who I miss at this point. Not just members who were great for the forum, but whose contributions genuinely had an impact on my life. It's tough to see that so many have gone, but I'm glad we still have the community we have.
For me, the title this year has to go to CrueTrue. Obviously, his activity has been waning for years, but with his MG team disbanded, we probably won't see him again. And he's the entire reason any of us ever got here. This sounds dramatic, but I legitimately can't imagine my life without this website, and CrueTrue founded this site. So, in a way, CrueTrue has shaped my life more than most of the people I know in real life. It's a different site without him around, but I'm glad he was able to move onto the important things in his life.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
