🎉 ATAR Notes Honour Board - Hall of Fame, MVPs and Members of the Month 🎉

(1/14) > >>

As you know, it's an ATAR Notes tradition to hold an end-of-year awards ceremony. The basic idea is to acknowledge everybody (not just those who receive awards or who are explicitly mentioned) who contributed to ATAR Notes in that given year. Ultimately, without all of you, ATAR Notes just... wouldn't be ATAR Notes haha.

But it's important, too, to recognise past winners, for each and every one of the members below has made a significant and meaningful contribution to this community of ours. This thread will serve that very purpose!
The 2013 AN Awards
In the first AN Awards since 2010, more than 100 votes were counted. lzxnl was voted the 2013 MVP, with an Honourable Mention being awarded to lollymatron. lzxnl is still active to this day, and has amassed more than 3,000 posts since joining ATAR Notes in June 2012. The Class of 2013 MVP was awarded to Alwin, who is now one of our most experienced ATAR Notes lecturers. Other prolific winners included brenden (English Most Helpful, Most Insightful/Wise, Most Supportive/Motivating) and pi (IRC MVP, Admissions Test Most Helpful, Funniest Member, Scariest Moderator), who now have more than 20,000 posts between them.

The 2014 AN Awards
2014 was literally lauren's year, voted AN MVP. Stick was awarded an Honourable Mention. In his opening post, Brenden summed it up nicely: "Lauren probably won all the awards anyway (inc. the ones she wasn't nominated for)." It was a decent prediction, too, because she also picked up the English Most Helpful award. Zealous won the 2014 MVP award, and is also one of our best-known lecturers. Brenden backed up the Most Insightful/Most Supportive double, whilst keltingmeith picked up Maths Most Supportive and Science Most Supportive.

The 2015 AN Awards
In 2015, it was all about the #bangalibandwagon, as heids took home the ATAR Notes MVP. She was also voted Health and PE Most Helpful, Most Insightful and Most Supportive in what was a pretty incredible year personally. Orb was given an Honourable Mention for both overall MVP and Class of 2015 MVP. zsteve - possibly our best-known current lecturer - took out the 2015 MVP award.

The 2016 AN Awards
For the first time, and very excitingly, the 2016 AN Awards covered both Victoria and New South Wales. Our 2016 MVPs were zsteve and ssarahj respectively. heids was again voted Most Supportive and Most Insightful, whilst Swagadaktal was deemed the funniest member. In an upset for the ages, Ask Monash University was awarded Most Helpful in the University of Melbourne Boards (thanks, Alter).

The 2017 AN Awards
2017 was a huge year for ATAR Notes - both Victoria and New South Wales, with great development in both states. The Victorian MVP was K888, with Jess1113 taking out the NSW iteration. It was a strong year with many deserving winners, reflected by several Honourable Mentions. sudodds pipped Calebark for Funniest Member by the smallest of margins (hehe), whilst elysepopplewell was deemed Most Insightful. In his last full year as a National Moderator, Aaron picked up Scariest Mod - nice work, dude!

Since February 2017, we have also recognised the Members of the Month for both Victoria and New South Wales. Throughout each calendar month of the year, Moderators select a user that has been helpful, friendly, and contributes to the positive vibes of ATAR Notes overall. What does this mean, exactly? Well:

- Answering questions on subject boards;
- Creating great discussion threads (education-related or otherwise);
- Helping out new users;
- Writing guides (whether that be subject-specific, uni-related or whatever else);
- Being a generally top-end person.

The inaugural winners were kiwiberry in New South Wales, and Shadowxo, who were both ATAR Notes Moderators less than a year later. A complete list of winners can be found below:

PAST NSW WINNERS:
Spoiler2017: kiwiberry (inaugural), rodero, sssona09, MisterNeo, Wales, dancing phalanges, Opengangs, fantasticbeasts3, blasonduo, potatohater, Mada438.
PAST VIC WINNERS:
Spoiler2017: Shadowxo (inaugural), Syndicate, cookiedream, Quantum44, zhen, VanillaRice, GalacticProcess, miniturtle, clarke54321, AngelWings, PhoenixxFire.

RuiAce:
Don't you just love how the NSW inaugral winner eventually became a lecturer?

I do!

At time of writing, ATAR Notes recently turned ten years old, and has never been in a better position than it is right now. The AN Community is thriving across two states, and hopefully more in the future. The current crop of users is the closest I've ever seen, and we're welcoming new members into the Community literally every day - this is my favourite part of it all.

But it's very, very important to recognise the multitude of contributions made by members of yesteryear - the users who set up ATAR Notes, saw it develop, and fostered it in such a way that where we are now is possible. We should recognise these members for their tireless and selfless contributions to the Community, even if some of these names are unfamiliar to you at first. I guess that's the point - we don't want them to be unfamiliar. They should be written in the history of ATAR Notes forever, and that's why we're establishing the:

🎉 ATAR Notes Hall of Fame 🎉
I am extremely excited to give each of the inaugural members the recognition they deserve. There are 22 inaugural members, and each of these will be presented over the next couple of weeks.
