In a close category, the Funny Menu took the victory. CrueTrue, who took the screenshot, must have eagle eyes, as he spotted a menu describing delicacies such as “FGHF FGG”. Hilarity at this picture ensues instantly Issoisso says, “just burst out laughing with that one”
Best Story
1. Cycling24 – 2012 by Crommy – 42%
2. Eurosport by SportingNonsence – 33%
3. Team Capec by Justin WK – 25%
Stories. There’s always something special about a good story here on PCM Daily. It captures the imagination of all, and is a certified piece of literature in itself. You feel no one does this better than Crommy, with his Cycling24 story, which has followed the highs and lows of Allan Smile for two years. Only one separated first to second then second to third. A hot category.
SportingNonsence says, “its been a thrilling read so far, long may it continue.” Addy291 says, “it's a great story mate, end of”
Most Helpful Forum Member
1. Addy291 – 69%
2. Issoisso – 31%
3. Panaflex – 0%
These are some of the most important members of the forum, who help out those who need help no matter what. Addy291 is the greatest example of this, and seems like permanence within the PCM daily community. The PCM Daily community would be in mourning should we ever lose him.
Addy291 said this on hearing he had received the award, “"I am honoured to even be nominated for this award, and to win it makes me speechless, that is why this is a very short speech . No honestly thanks to everyone for nominating me, it was a big surprise and many thanks to everyone once more.”
Issoisso says, “he ALWAYS helps when someone has a problem. I wish there were guys like him on every forum. would make things so much easier.” Best Avatar

= 3. German CyM Team’s 2007 DB – 14%
= 3. Stanosbase – 14%
6. RSM News DB 2007 – 7%
The most important category in terms of adding to the PCM experience, opinions were divided on the best database. In the end, you decided that the attention to detail and vastness of the PPDB Europe 2006 was the best DB, so well done to Plakker and his database team for providing us such a valuable experience
Issoisso says, “no matter the complaints, plakker & Co. make stunning DBs.”
Best Database Team
1. The PPDB Team – 82%
2. The RSM News DB Team – 18%
3. The PCM Spain DB Team – 0%
Whilst the database category was hotly fought, the PPDB team simply ran away with the voting. You may not all like the database produced, but you do appreciate the sheer amount of time and effort the PPDB team put into a complex system
Addy291 says, “Without a doubt PPDB!!! Their db's have very in depth stats, and realistic stats for all 180 teams (or however many there are), they also have some great graphics.”
Best Graphic Artist
1. Miya – 45%
2. Roadie68 – 36%
= 3. JackyDurand – 9%
= 3. Cladestino – 9%
Only new to the scene, Japanese graphics artist Miya has exploded onto the PCM scene and astounded us with the sheer brilliance and complexity of his projects. His greatest accomplishment so far is his most recent project, in which he has reworked the final stage of Le Tour de France, and it now includes the Eiffel Tower and a truer version of the Champs Elysees, which includes a tunnel and a new finish line banner. He has also produced a stunning helicopter to replace the director’s car in races. |
