May MOTM + POTM - Winners Announced!

[Joseph41]

Another month, and another opportunity to celebrate some really fantastic contributions to the forum community. We have both the Member of the Month awards and Post of the Month list in this thread.
THE NSW WINNER FOR MAY IS...

Spoiler

DrDusk, who joined ATAR Notes just over a year ago, and has had a really positive month on the forums. In fact, about a third of their total posts have come in May alone - a great effort. Contributing largely on the HSC Science and SDD boards, you can see the impact DrDusk is having in posts like this, this and this - plus a bunch of UNSW course reviews to boot! Amazing work, DrDusk - hope to see you around even more in June!

THE VIC WINNER FOR MAY IS...

Spoiler

JR_StudyEd! With some 50+ posts this month, JR_StudyEd has had their presence felt right across the community, perhaps best exemplified by their VCE Journey Journal (read some 2,500+ times so far). Along with a number of thought-provoking threads this month and insight like this, JR_StudyEd is a very worthy winner. Awesome job, and thanks for your contributions across many months.

Further to recognising our MotM, here are some of the other outstanding contributions to ATAR Notes this month. If we missed anything (absolutely guaranteed), please be sure to give a shout out below!

Wow. What. the. frock. Has this been photoshopped? BTW, I already knew of this the day it was announced, but seeing that blue banner makes it all the more official!

Thank you so much for this absolute honour! I wouldn't have ever thought I would get such an accolade! Nor would I have ever thought that people would actually appreciate my contributions as much as they have. But they have! I hope to contribute more to this wonderful community as much as I possibly can (quality over quantity  ), not only throughout the rest of this year, but also in the years to come! Thanks again for appreciating my cringey username (I mean, it's literally my initials underscore studying education) and I trust that my posts so far have helped those in need!

Love you AN!  <3
