Well, I'm just not talkative enough to make 1000 posts any time soon, but I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary. So what the heck -- let's have a giveaway.
This giveaway ends in 2 weeks, or thereabouts. Snooze = lose.
To make this a little different than a straight giveaway, I'd like to give some credit to the folks that spend time on here either showing off their creations, doing reviews, answering questions, entertaining us, or all of the above. *To qualify, you must post the name of one (just one!) BLF member you've found helpful/funny/impressive.*
Your name will go into one pool. The respected member's name will go into another pool. One individual from each pool will be chosen at random.
This thing is open to absolutely everybody with a mailing address on the planet. One and only one entry per person. Multiple posts in this thread get you disqualified.
I'll choose prizes based entirely on whim. I might send something directly, or the winner might get something shipped from one of our friendly vendors. Chances are fair to middling that the prizes are nice.
--------------
Winners! as chosen by random.org
Pool one (regular BLF members):
#92, sirockalot
Pool two (nominated BLF members):
#26, so the winner is NightCrawl, as nominated by Chicken Drumstick
I appreciate that choosing just one member to nominate was tough, but thanks to everyone for playing.
I have enjoyed the many reviews done by the Foy long before i knew about BLF that guided my purchasing decisions
There are just too many good BLFers to choose from
Edit:
After seeing so many good names of great members on this thread i wish i didn’t have to pick one, there are so many others that deserve to be nominated
I’m not going to enter but would like to nominate two people instead if this will be possible. The one and only Old Lumens because he is going to cut me some big lenses for me. Oh, I’d also better mention that he has confused me more than anyone else here. Secondly a person that has wild dreams and even wilder abilities to make the impossible possible, most times. Mr rufusbduck.
If I were to enter and win, I would just have to turn around and give it away again, but I just wanted to vote for Match. Several years ago, when I left CPF in a huff, I dropped out of flashlights for quite a long time. Accidentally stumbling in here was because of reading a couple of Match's modding threads and he's the reason I decided to start back up again and do it here at BLF.
