OTBS Nomination Thread

[tasunkawitko]

just got word of this.

i'm not sure why mikey was banned but i know that he's been very helpful to me and to many, many members. quite a few of us use the no-salt/no-sugar rub that he came up with and employ methods and principles that he has shared. i have disagreed with him a couple of times but those disagreements have always been respectful and didn't disrupt the board, plus, they were opportunities for both of us to get some ideas exchanged out in the open, which resulted in more information for members to use when making their decisions.

it is of course possible that did something on purpose to get banned, but based on my past dealings with him, i would find that surprising. i respect admin's positon and if he is banned, then he is banned; having said that, i stand by my support for him and if anything can be done by mikey to redeem his standing then i am all for giving him that opportunity.

I just noticed Mikey's status lastnight myself...I have to agree with TAS in Mikey's knowledge and abilities which he had demostrated in the past. He did help me through quite a few "speed bumps" along the way...sorry it had to end like this.

WOW! I had NO idea about any of this business!

All I have to say is congrats to everyone. There are some very very good choices and members in this group I hope to grace one day.

So bravo to all of you guys. I know I have been helped a lot by a majority of them.

I did my homework this time. This nominee is not banned, is not on the squires list already nor is he on the OTBS Roster and he is fully deserving of the honour.

I believe Beer-B-Que is very deserving of becoming an OTBS Knight. He is always helpful to anybody who asks. His Tutorials are really well done and easy to follow. One of which has just been made a sticky. I believe a couple more of his posts could be stickys too. He certainly has the credentials for membership. His 1047 posts are all positive and helpful to SMF. I know there were posts he lost in the crash as well. He joined way back in 2007. I was surprised to see he wasn't already a Knight.

Here are 3 tutorials and a list that he has posted , lots of time, effort and hard work went into these I know. They are all to help out the newbies and give a great impression of how helpful this website can be.

Can I get a seconder to my Nomination of Beer-B-Q for OTBS membership.

 

[fire it up]

I seem to remember post 987 being a tad controversial.
Just kidding, I wish I had the power to second it but since I can't all I can do is say that I wholeheartedly agree that he would make a fine addition and is a very well deserving member.

It seems Beer-B-Que meets all the requirement for OTBS and I agree he is a valuable member.

I second his nomination.

 

[cajunsmoke13]

Great choice. I agree also.

 

[alx]

Awesome choice.Paul is a riot and very helpfull..

 

[ronp]

You beat me to it GnuBee. I have been wanting to do it for a while and was just waiting for him to post his first smoke on his new smoker. I just spoke to him last night about when that would be.

 

[rivet]

I definitely concur with Beer-B-Q's nomination!

 

[bmudd14474]

Congrats on the nomination. Well deserved.

 

[beer-b-q]

I just saw this, thanks guys...

 

[erain]

congrats to you Paul!!! well deserved with some great posts to back him up...

 

[tasunkawitko]

congratulations!

 

[alx]

I would like to make a general nomination for:

GnuBee

I find him helpful to new members,Knowledgeable,funny as heck and someone who has progressed greatly from his introduction.I know he lost a lot of posts in crash-like myself- and has hung in there....

Hope a member in standing will second this general nomination.....

 

[rivet]

I certainly will be the your second to GnuBee's nomination! Great member of the SMF and will make a fine Knight.

 

[tasunkawitko]

absolutely!

 

[rickw]

Congrats to GnuBee on the nomination.

 

[beer-b-q]

Congratulations GnuBee...

Nominations and seconds noted for Beer-B-Q and GnuBee noted and their names posted to the Squirrels List (oops) I mean Squires List. Sorry about that-watched the movie "UP" with the grandkids.
