Title: October 2017 MotM Award!
Post by: jamonwindeyer on October 30, 2017, 10:20:11 pm
And the winners are...

For NSW, blasonduo!

blasonduo has been with us since February, posting for the first time in July. Since then they have become an integral part of the HSC Physics section, and have racked up an equivalent of over 10 days online in just that amount of time. They've put in a monumental effort helping out during the exam period, with over half of their total post count racked up in October alone, all super helpful posts. We're really proud to acknowledge one of our most incredible new contributors - Well done blasonduo! ;D

For VIC, clarke54321!

In contrast, in Victoria we are acknowledging one of our long standing contributors. clarke54321 has been around for 3 years, contributing hugely to the VCE English and Legal Studies sections - Over 100 posts in each section, and nearly a whole month of time online. They've been on fire in October with over 50 posts, including a heap of marking for English. A worthy winner indeed ;D

It is always difficult, but we had a SUPER tough time picking winners this time around, it has been an incredible month for the forums. Huge thanks to EVERYONE who contributed, but special mention to justwannawish for NSW, and PhoenixxFire for Victoria, we appreciate you both immensely!

Congratulations to both winners - it's been a pleasure to see your amazing contributions over the past month and how they've helped so many of your peers, especially considering the looming/concurrent exams!  ;D

Want to second the honourable mentions - particularly for Victoria - PhoenixxFire had an outstanding month (I feel like I know the new Bio study design just from your amazing answers!). :)

Just want to re-iterate, this was such a tough month, since this has been one of the best months in the history of the forums, in terms of people jumping in to lend a hand. And most of those months have been this year, by the way - This community continues to astound me as do the awesome people within it. You all make me so proud ;D

For NSW specifically I gave one honourable mention, but I could easily have given more. Really want to use this space to also offer additional thanks to the following people (and this is just off the top of my head, I'm sorry if I missed you!), for all sorts of contributions ranging from resource guides, marking, answering questions, and/or general good vibes!

- potatohater
- beatroot
- paigek3
- dancing phalanges
- prickles
- pikachu975
- CyberScopes
- bowiemily
- bsdfjnlkasn
- Opengangs
- andrewattard
- All the former MotM's, all of which have been around and being their super helpful selves!
- All the mods (of course they aren't eligible for MotM but their contributions cannot be understated)!

Woah! What a VERY pleasant surprise after my very last exam :))

The physics thread is 100% right!! "or have a slightly creepy passion for HSC Physics, then this board is for you"
I love physics, and explaining how everything works;
It's addicting

I love being here, and I love the positivity that just flows out of this community. With HSC done, I'm going to spend a lot more time here :))

Thanks for being awesome Atar Notes, Thanks for being a shining light in my life <3

Well done blason for your awesome physics work! Know that even if your mark doesnt come as well as youve expected, youve helped countless other people grasp a better understanding of some very difficult concepts, and that in itself is invaluable!
