    Thumbs up Hexus.Unsung Heroes

    I think it's time we all stood up and saluted the real Heroes of Hexus! Those members (NOT mods/admins/staff) who come on here day in-day out & offer their help and advice, for no nothing, no thanks, no glory, just because they can.

    So, I put it to you, the GD readership to nominate & say a big thanks to the unsung heroes of Hexus!
    (no prizes are inferred or will be given, just Kudos & the love and eternal gratitude of the Hexus massive)

    So, to start the ball rolling...

    For prettymuch single-handedly keeping the Abit forum alive, a stonking big goes to BUFF

    In Hardware, big to staffsMike & CAT-THE-FIFTH


    Come on peeps, show the

    I think TAKTAK deserves some for his welcoming, and for the amount of help he provides in other sub-forums (And out of them)

    Re: Hexus.Unsung Heroes

    TAKTAK - he's a better welcommer than i am and hes welcommed everyone including the spammers and he pops up all over the place with knowledge on pretty much everything.

    CLUNK - loads of insect pictures in 'photo a day'. i think hes got an infestation problem in his house

    MATTY-H - been banned 4 or 5 times (?) yet he's still here nothing can keep him away, must love the place to keep coming back.

    SAMCROSS - loves celebrating birthdays for some reason, his own and other peoples.


    and finally - the wierd spammers and posters out there - would just be a tech forum without them, makes it more varied with the surreal, just like life.

    He's so modest too, just a generally all round awesome character isn't he

    Rave and Nichomach definitely deserve a special mention here in my opinion

    Any of the HEXUS.SOCIAL and H3XU5 members - without you guys I'd just be sitting in a pub drinking by myself! Especially Rastamanblues, MadduckUk, Gerrard and JKFerret for helping sort out LAN stuff. There are too many social members to mention - but you all know how special you are! Kudos to 99Flake, Chicken, Funkstar, TheAnimus and anyone else i've forgotten to mention for making it such a fun pasttime!

    I've lost track of who is mod and who's not....

    So I'll just extend my thanks and appreciation to all those who are regular posters and contributors - you make Hexus what it is.

    Rave's a top member, I'm always interested to read his opinions on stuff and he is knowledgeable without trying to be the big authority. Same for G4Z
