While it's hard to ignore Wes Bitch's contributions to the taco stand, I'm going to nominate Anastasia.
She always has something positive to say and could use some positive vibrations bouncing around the nanoverse.
Good luck sister!!!

I vote for Tar for his humor and love for living. He is contagious. It is like hearing great laughter and you start laughing yourself even if you didn't hear the joke. You can't help but join in because it is such a pure action.

Nope,
Not me... I am actually an emotional nut right now. Nothing to admire... I actually should be very far from civilization away from internet, phone, or T.V. just to limit the damage. Trust me, I am doing damage without even trying!
One good thing is I just gave up my cell phone to a friend and I will soon take a break from all of you.
Not a bad thing, just need to concentrate on myself and what I need to do. LOL, I am so not good at that!

Well what is the criteria?
Roy is a great guy and would certainly score high in popularity. His TRs are a celebration of various forms of pulchritude.
But Vladimir didn't make Times Person of the Year for any of THOSE reasons.
Shouldn't there be numerous catagories?
Best TRs
Best Ouchifications
Best scenic photos
Best writing style
I would think that the TacoPOTY ought to be the person that stimulates the most discussion.
OMG
(forget I said it. Its Lois)

Yeah, is this about positive influence or just influence?
I want to put Crowley and Lois on the cover but that's just for influence.
I hate this "person of the year" kind of thing. I discourages the community value and makes somebody or another bigger than they are.
Peace

Hmmm,
It’s all good, the lot of us make it happen.
For those of you who cast the nomination and hoisted the props, thank you, that’s real nice.
But there is still time to rethink this…
Like, is this the guy you want to follow?
Either way, it’s a package deal, cuz I couldn’t do this wacko stuff without Lisa’s support:
But after all is said, I’ll nominate my greatest influence,
Russ Walling, cuz he knows how to keep it together, grace under pressure:

Karl...this is just a fun little tread.
As to Roy...I can always depend on him to brighten my day when I open one of his treads.

I'd have to say Chris Mc. . .for his donating to awesome charities.
Second place goes to Crimpie
Third to JSTAN (oops, I'm biased about a guy that freed FOOPS)!

Tarbuster. Definitely look for his posts. Great TR's.
Or Jello, he's had some interesting input.
Or Al Gore.

I hope that nature (Doug) is recognized, not to mention his unindicted co-conspirators. The various sushi fests over the last year were a great way to get together with a bunch of SuperTopians in person, eat and drink, and climb.
I also suggest Chicken Skinner (Ken) be recognized, for all his work on looking after a place that's important to all of us, and the proposed climbing museum.
And, of course, Chris Mac, for putting up with us all.

You're definitely right Mighty One about those great folks mentioned, but I'm biased...I know Roy!
