My nomination goes to Ric Hamlin, current username JustRico, former name BrunsRico
Ric has been posting here for as long as I can remember. He has helped many, many users, including me, in the selection of bowling balls, layouts, drilling options, surface preps, etc. Any questions about the characteristics of a bowling ball not just Brunswick stuff, he was the man to go to. He was the only reason I, and probably many others, used a bowling ball with the lengendary Rico layout and why the cg of a bowling ball no longer matters.
Thanks Ric
On the side would anybody put yours truely in? I got a couple hundred posts to my credit and been here since 04', nothing to shame about

Also, cudaskater123, because him and I always agree on everything. He was the first friend I made on here and he also has cool stories to tell.
Now for comedy, Preditor, he always has the most random post that make me laugh everytime. Haven't seen him here in a while though.

Tekneek - Steve Brinkley may be the best online shop on here. He is priced fair, always answers questions promptly, and is known for his famous free advice.
Charlest - agree with everything above. He knows so much about surfaces that I now ask him about polishing my dining room table, waxing my car, and varnishing my garage door.
Dizzyfugu - he always helps with any layout questions I have, he's a dedicated BR member that deserves some praise.

I would also like to put a few others out there:
Mustang Guy-he sticks to mostly the Roto forum but thats customer service right there.
Rags and jls...but only as a pair, they are nothing without the other
no offense to either of you but its true.I've only been around for a little less then 1.5 years but Monster Pike's name should be thrown around in my opinion.

He takes simple theory on a basic topic and words it like he's smarter and wiser than you all and never responds back to his original discussion. He never even posts in other threads that he didn't start. How you people don't see through this BS baffles me. The rest of these so called nominations are nothing but guys who have been bowling forever and didn't learn a bit of knowledge until they lurked around here long enough. Then they just copy and paste answers to the same 6 questions that get asked here week after week. Just a bunch of know it alls piggybacking the knowledge of guys that actually have it. Parakeets if you will. Bring on more FIGJAM artists, that's all that will come out of a post like this.
You really need to lighten up a bit. I don't even know the man personally but I can pretty much figure out that he is one of the nicest guys walking this planet. Yes, he may not post a lot on this site, but when he does its very thoughtful, insightful and gets conversations and debates going. He doesn't rag on people, put them down or get into little bickering arguments. He is a credit to bowling and this site.
Personally I would nominate Sawbones, Brunsnick as he has helped me out several times in the past, Ragnar, Jeff Carter for all the advice he offers on here and for the charitable work he does, Duke Harding because I believe all of us have gotten a few laughs out of his jokes and lastly....
....jls. He and I may not have always agreed on everything but if you can make a logical argument of your point he will always respect you and your opinion. Others may not like him, but I believe that he's a good guy that has no problem offering his opinion whether you agree with him or not.

But I would nominate 9~ for adding some (much needed!!!) levity to this site.

I remember TBU, Pchee, Hose, Spinner Barr of Doom (Or whatever his name was), Leftside, Plamor, and I'm not sure how many names created by the same user(s). It was a fun time... I try to keep some laughs going, but admit some of the personalities above took it to a level I could only dream of.
Sawbones would be my nominee. Is he the most technical guy here? No. But I think he's genuinely a good guy, he spawned Hose, and his posts are generally pretty interesting and spur some thought about the subject he has presented.
