Swad Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well it wasn’t an easy decision! (Yeah, people always say that, but it's true!) It took the staff longer than we thought to decide who should get the iPod. When you have a membership of 26,000, narrowing it down to a few members – and then to one - who have given the most back to the community during the contest is tough! We received a lot of nominations and suggestions. A lot of people suggested Maxxuss, but the contest was specifically geared for the most helpful use on the site during the time limits. Forum staff also weren’t eligible (which is probably a good thing for you, since they’re so amazing!). We finally narrowed it down to one individual who has proven very willing to help others and the site itself. Since the beginning of the contest, he has lent a helping hand to many forum users, cleaned spam from the wiki, and asked to assist in our IRC channel. It was clear that if anyone was working to 1) be helpful and 2) be helpful enough to get the iPod, it was this guy. The iPod contest was launched to reward a helpful user for his or her service to the community during the past month. I’m happy to announce that the iPod will be going to jbjonas. Congrats jbjonas! Thanks for your willingness to help. If you were really hoping for the iPod, don’t lose heart – although this site gets just enough ad money to get by, we’ll try to have random games and contests as time goes by. Stay tuned!

jbjonas Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 WOW! Well I'm flattered and surprised! Thank you Mash, all the staff, and every one of the over 26,000 forum members. I will definitely make good use of Mashugly's iPod. I'm proud to be a part of the community here at OSx86Project. I look forward to even more great things that we can all do, working together. If you see me posting less on the forums lately, it's because I've been spending a lot of time on our great IRC channel. #OSx86 on irc.macspeak.net --> drop by and check it out if you haven't already.
