@Jackonfire is an obvious choice here too; amongst the most consistent posters/those with the highest output, he always creates the infamous play-by-play-threads whenever there's a UFC event and subsequently also is responsible for what is a pillar of sherdog, that by itself contributes heavily to the coming and staying together of the sherdog community.
He's also a pretty damn good mod i think and certainly an incredibly chill, discreet dude.
@PurpleStorm is another great contributor to the heavies - one of the extraordinary gentlemen on this side, i remember him for just being an all-around great poster in every subforum he posts on here - as someone who donated to the MS shoop awards, he also put his money where his
mouth was hands were, which i think is quite the cool move. Wherever there is a thread with him partaking, the thread/overall discussion benefits from him.
@Iroh is a very all-around-knowledgeable, great to discuss with dude, who i think is one of the best posters on this site - as one would expect, he too, is an enjoyer of the extraordinarily skilled Khamzat Chimaev by the way and there's little doubt in my mind that if he didn't change his AV so relatively often, more posters would've nominated him - after all, on a site with so many elite posters, a recognizable AV often serves as a memory aid! What's also great about him, is that he's one of those people who, if you happen to talk with them about the things they're interested in, will bombard you with lots of (worth reading!) text, henceforth leading to situations where one is unable to can resist the urge to participate in long, detailed talks!
@drbolony is another one of many intelligent posters amongst those i've nominated, making him a true enrichment to sherdog. But just as much as he provokes thought and a good time through concise, well-written posts in those who read the postings of his, he appreciates the hell out of other great posters and long, good discussions, motivating others to follow his lead, in a way. What should be hardly surprising at this point, is that he's also a good dude in general.
@Chael_Sonnen definitely deserves his nomination as well! He's a smart dude who never shies away from long back and forth discussions about anything MMA-related and he's got a very good sense for the technical and tactical aspects of MMA, which is why i encourage anyone to read his posts, there's a lot to learn from them! On top of what i mentioned, he calls bullsh*t out and makes life hard for low effort trolls, thus contributing to sherdog both by adding the positive and impeding the negative.
@Rebelfett the man of unlimited likes and a workforce of the heavies. Can't really say that much more about him to be honest haha, but always just struck me as rock solid and as a presence that i appreciate and as someone else already said, i don't think he's the worst mod, even though it seems to be his opinion about himself, lol.
