Most helpful members

[SteveP]

I'm very proud of our Bulletin Board. I think we have the best group of people here that are willing to help anyone with a question without derigitory remarks about their level of experience (for the most part). I think it's time to give credit to those that have been so helpful. So, if you've been helped by someone or have recognized anyone (besides yourself...) that is very helpful to other members, give credit where credit is due!!

I will start with railman, ammoace, XXXER (sometimes :D) nairb (ditto), Gokou...

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of you, but I've just read some threads where these guys were really going out of their way to help. Everynoe help me out and give props to those you feel are the most helpful members of the BB.

[Orange Pedeanaut]

Of course, the mods, admin, hpiguy, and lots of people. I cant name the most helpful guys on here cause we all try and were all learning.

[Nairb]

I'm honored to be recognized, especially by SteveP. Even when I've been on the lazy side lately. :)

I must recognize a few others that are great helpers as well, SirSpeedy, Grizzbob, and jeepinator (he's showing us his worth already). Face it, guys (all of ya). You ROCK!

[Jwelch]

Nairb, you know it, you and XXXER are some of the most recongnizable faces on this BB. Personally, i think that all of the members mentioned so far deserve what they are getting. Oh! And one more person... meh! :D

[QUAKE&SHAKE]

Hey how about a BB member of the month :) You RCCA guys pick a person or persons and under their name ad member of the month :) Or would that be to hard and time consuming? Just a thought.

[JP]

Yes, all 3000+ people contributed to dare i say...the best BB on the internet. Each have their own specialties, and all are very helpful. Keep doing what your doing, everyones thankful for that. Editors, you made this board, and I dont think you really get enough credit. I mean seriously, how many people actually go online to help us as often as they do? Thanks all with my problems, and everyone elses. :cool:

Oh MAN am I a su*ck -up! Steve even sais so, lol :D

RCZone is one of the best forums out there--and one of the few where I finally traded in my lurker card. This board combines the best of two worlds--hobbies and the internet. Sure, there's the same BS you'll find everywhere else, but here, it's tolerable. And that, I'd say, is very much thanks to the Administrators (round of applause)

One thing I love is that the 'regulars' mentioned above (especially those with membership #'s in first few hundreds) continue to post thoughtful responses even though they've been at this board for a year. That's pretty cool.

Props to Jace2000, Gokou, n20, Rc1oGTMan et al for keeping the RC10GT dream alive on the vehicle forums. Gotta go run the car now...

Loki

[XXXER]

Steve, and JWelch, thank you very much for appreciating what i do here, it does make it worth it to do this all the time when i get a simple 'Thanks'.

People that i also recognize, including those said by Steve are: SirSpeedy-he has an excellent knowledge of tuning cars, and other things. hpiguy-he does not post a whole lot anymore, but when he did, he would say the right things.

[NitroJunky]

i would like to thank my mom my dad and my dead gold fish skippy for this prostegious award and not to foreget you who made this happen

[Jwelch]

Also, should i change my name? Kinda sounds preppy. Steve, any way i can keep my post count and change my name like nairb did??

[Gokou]

Yowza! Thanks for the recognition Steve, and congrats to everyone else, even those not mentioned (you know who you are) :D Now that I'm famous I'll have to try even harder to help out!

I've been around to quite a few of the RC forums and I honestly feel that this board is the best in terms of diversity, content, and users. A few of the others are great too, but the diversity here at the RCCA forums is what makes it tops in my book :)

Thanks to the RCCA guys for keeping this forum up and running. We wouldn't be here without them!

[BadRacer]

Iv been here since last November (i think) and i just gotta give credit to all the ppl that made this site what it is today.

Besides the every now and then BS that pops up "RCZone Rocks" and to every member that knows he/she helped someone out with a problem...give yourself a pat on the back! :D

Nairb......you rock man! But sometimes you gotta get through the harsh opinions to see your point...LOL :p j/k and too Gizzbob, whats up my Okla native (very helpful guy!)

And as for myself i like to think i help out, but i do not need credit because in return i hope when i need help i get it in return. Oh and i forgot one more person....at sometimes he may seem out of line or weird, but he is very helpful when needed and that person is Isky.

Keepin it Real
BadRacer :cool:

[1 Krazy Foo]

I think anyone who has every posted a useful bit of info from a great website to tricks on tuning a car deserves a round of applause and a thanks.

Everyone here rules!

[Rc1oGtMaN]

The two guys that I know are Railman and Gokou... Their knowledge is like the result of every r/c website crashing together into small boxes, and then being put into these two guys heads. It just boggles my mind how those two guys give such accurate information every time, and like really fast. Also, to all others that have helped me, thanks a lot. Loki, thanks for the recognition.

[Nairb]

You're killing me, BadRacer! LOL! At least I can't be accused of flying under the radar. :) I enjoy your company & help, too, buddy.

SteveP, it would be awesome if you noted this BB in the mag a bit more. Even a tiny bit of recognition in it would be TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR, but it would be cool anyway. :D I'm not begging for compliments or anything, but it would be cool to see my nick in the mag. Well, I've got a pit tip going in the July issue, so I guess I can't ask for much more. Oh well... :p

[R_C_MAN]

I have to agree, this is the best R/C BB on the Net. Keep up the good work guys!

[ 05-17-2001: Message edited by: R_C_MAN ]

[gubbs3]

Even though SirSpeedy hasn't posted in a while I think he deserves some credit.

[Railman]

Thanks Steve, & Kudos to everyone!
I think this forum has something for everyone. Many have contributed to help make the sport more enjoyable & a lot easier. I feel as though I have learned a lot just by posting answers to questions. Sometimes it's good to be forced to define things that we we already know because it forces us think things through & learn even more about a given topic. I also get a lot of satisfaction when things work out for people.
It's also good to have healthy debates on technical things, & we don't have to agree to learn from what is debated. As long as everyone remembers why we do this on here it will only get better. I don't know how much I'll be able to do this over the next year, but to all it's been fun!
Gubbs, & everyone else... keep it up! :) :cool: ;)

[jeepinator]

Wow, I got an "honerable mention" heheh
Thanks.
I frequent a TON of boards (mostly non RC). This is one of the better ones for politeness, content, and general happiness. I guess even moderated boards can be cool :p
... as you can tell, I am not a big moderation fan, but it sure seems to be working here. Thanks everyone.

[bryceanator]

i have only been in rc for about 20 days yet i know so much more than i did 20 days ago and thats all thanks to railman and the many many others here i know where all my cash is going into rc

[Grizzbob]

I agree with Railman, I think we all can learn from helping each other, I know I've even picked up on a few things that I hadn't thought about earlier(& I've been racing for over 12 years). I can still remember how I learned some of those basic lessons of R/C(the hard way, lol), & if I can help someone avoid some of the mistakes I made then maybe that person will stay in the hobby longer & share his knowledge with other newer guys, & over time improve everyone's enjoyment of the hobby..... :cool:

[ammoace]

Thanks for the props SteveP.

I wanted to give it up for Project Twin, Old Phart, xxxer, nairb, Orange Pedeanaut, JP, jeepinator and so many more I don't want to turn this into a grammy speech. For all those that have helped me, too many to list all, in the past and will help me in the future I want to say THANK YOU!!
RCCA, RCZone, and the R/C Yellow pages rule the world of R/C.
Thank you and best wishes to all,
AMMOACE

[Orange Pedeanaut]

Wow, thank you ammoace :D

[ProjectTwin]

LMAO, Ace, I love you man! Thanks!

"You had me at 'Hello'" lol

Car Head

[ProjectTwin]

LOL

Derek, I'm to the point now I don't do the pushups, others do. :D

Under Kev's Desk?

If anyone is going to Thunder on the Beach, feel free to take it with you! I'm sure the guys would like to see it.

Jason

[hpiguy]

I am so flattered that my name was mentioned. Just awestruck that you guys find my info useful and then remember me. :cool:

I'd vote for XXXER and Ammoace.

I haven't been able to post since the obard design changed. My at work comp is too junky to log on.

But I'll help as much as I can from home.

Anybody anytime.

[DerekB]

hpiguys returns!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

I thought we lost you. :cool:

[digex]

Definitely have to give my .02¢ here. One thing I can always count on, as sure the sun will rise, is that if I post a technical question, Railman or Grizzbob will be posting a reply within a few hours. Thanks guys! Your help has made a tremendous impact on my hobby time and has definitely calmed the stormy R/C waters more than once for me... ;)

[JP]

thanx ammoace! I would like to thank all the little leprochauns who tell me to burn things...

sorry, that will be my grammy speach if i ever win a movie award.

[aspiringrcracer710]

gotta give props to CBlakeNS, XXXER, and Lil General Lee.

O, BTW, check this link out, its a poll I started:

what is a good type of start 2 (http://www.rctouring.com/rcforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5720)

[TSR6]

Does this include people from Chat?

I dont visit the BB as much as chat, but these are the people that stick out in my mind -

All the RCCA guys....

StephenB, Disturbed_Lizard, LGL, and others... Dont feel bad if i miss your name... You probably fit in the 'others' catigory ;)

[XXXER]

*Strolls on by...whistling........*

[XtremLosi]

Whats that matter XXXer??? No one recognize you? I've noticed you've been alot of help to people so if you haven't been recognized... now you have!

[XXXER]

LOL, i was mainly refering to TSR6, he is my buddy from chat and RCCA, just giving him some guff, LOL.

StephenB is a []D[][]\/[][]D when it comes to chat, plus, he has a HOT GF!

[Orange Pedeanaut]

[Orange Pedeanaut]

[XXXER]

I have seen her pic, and she is a babe, plus, she runs track, like me :p

[JP]

<glares at XXXER>

[StephenB]

If we can include Chat members then the most helpful I've seen are usually TroyS/TSR6, Disturbed Lizard, Stone Cold Steve Pond, and DerekB. Those are the regulars!

I also don't have the time to surf the BB as much as I'd like. But I'll help anyone on chat :D

[StephenB]

Yes, XXXer you are one of the fortunate few ;)

But I don't want anyone else getting their hopes up! :p :p :p

[TRXboy]

LMAO@Derek!!! And J- you thought you truck was " On display" LOL!

[ProjectTwin]

It was for while I guess...who knows, lol

Jason

[Orange Pedeanaut]

Stephen, that wouldnt be the only thing we got up... :D lol

[rc51racerx]

okay, that was a little out of line, I thought we were saying thank you to all those that helped us with our cars, not with our ******** dysfunction problems. ;-) you guys are hilarious.

--john

post a pic yo ;-) maybe I'll let you guys see my wife.

[rc51racerx_is_hot]

[rc51racerx]

[Nairb]

Hey, I wanna see a pic of this married woman who is stalking me...you know, so I can watch out for her out my bedroom window...stalking me and stuff... :)

[Railman]

Nairb, Don't you mean more like leave the light on & door open for her?

[ 05-25-2001: Message edited by: Railman ]

[rc51racerx]

railman you happen to be talking about my wife ;-) Nairb, I don't know what to say dude, I'll try my best to captivate all her attention. I guess I'm failing as a husband here. I'm actually out of town now, and miss her. no pics for you guys, no fantasizing of my wife!!

later all
--John

darlin ILY ;)

[Railman]

Rc51racerx, Believe me, I meant no harm. I never (ahem, cough) fantasize about another's
wife...or at least I try real hard not to. It was all Nairb! Besides it's hard to do without a picture. Who's idea was it to srart talking about pictures of their women anyway?
Is this what was meant by "most helpfull members"?

[ 05-26-2001: Message edited by: Railman ]

[raptor660]

Hey Nairb thanx for the help with the CVD's

[XXXER]

Oohhhh, i want a stalker, What, no one up for stalking a 16 year old LM?(ladies man) :cool:

[rc51racerx_is_hot]

the only person i am stalking is my husband... =) but he is outta town and it's KILLING me..... :( ILY John! SFM!

[rc51racerx]

Railman, no harm no foul I'm only coming after you ;-) I don't know who started the whole notion of showing off there women. mine stays right here, no picks for any of you.

nairb you are pardoned for calling my wife sexy.

sweetie, I'll see you very soon ILYT

--John

[ammoace]

[Jwelch]

Wow, this is an OLDIE! TTT (just felt like resurrecting a good thread)

[Big Wig]

WOW Jwelch, I had forgotten about this one!

There are a lot of folks here who have helped me out... some by responding to my questions, others by posting great info for all to read. I know I'm forgetting a lot of people but here's a few who come to mind (please forgive me if I misspell):

Hauntedmyst


Goku

Rc10gtMan

Railman

Rotorranch


I know there are many others!

Since I've been here I've gained a lot of experince... I'm becoming pretty good with nitro and I try to help when I can. I hope I have helped a couple of people here at some point too but mostly I come here to learn ;)

thanks!
Jay

[Jwelch]

Yea, BigWig, good choices. Rotor is EXTREMELY helpful, and he has a huge knowledge of just about everything. HM and jeep speak for themselves. Mark, Goku, Railman, TRXboy (Nick), Grizzbob, gubbs, ATM, and KC10 are a huge help in the GT forum and elsewhere.

Narib
Nick (MaxSTer)
