Please head over to my giveaway, open as of this post until Sunday, January 22 at 8pm EDT, to potentially win a prize for leaving a comment about how someone made the TCDb better for you! I'm running this giveaway in honor of our members who have passed away and would love to see some great memories other members have of them, but this contest isn't limited to just them and I'd be happy to see comments about how any member past or present improved your experience here.

There will be three randomly-selected winners and members from any country to which the TCDB store ships will be eligible. All three winners get to select one item from the TCDB store that I'll buy and have shipped directly to them. That's right, this contest also supports the site!

So please enter, tell me how someone improved your TCDb-ing, and earn a shot at a cool site-branded shirt, hoodie, hat, and more!

switzr1, PapaG321. RIP.. Your contributions to the hobby will be missed. I have been blessed by the help of many members of the site including yourself. BigEd6, Vroomed, JayBirdOSU have been very helpful to me. There are many more to name with trades, etc.. Thanks to all that have helped me on this site.

I'll mention this once in this thread: if you want to enter, please make sure to go to the Giveaway Manager link. Any posts in this thread will not count as entries, only those on the actual giveaway post.

That said, I like your post here, Mike 

Great idea to honor some of the members who have long-lasting legacies here for all they did for the site.

Thanks! And I appreciate the effort you put into your entry.

Bumping this up after one day. We're currently at nine comments and seven qualified entries so the odds are still quite good for anyone that wants to join! Don't forget to mention at least one specific member, and make sure you do so on the giveaway page and not in this thread.

Giving this a Friday bump and may do one more reminder tomorrow or Sunday before the giveaway closes at 8pm EST. Lots of great entries so far!

Last reminder to get your entries in before 8 EST tonight! At that point I'll be closing the giveaway then shortly after I'll draw and announce the winners.

Thank you again to everyone who participated! As detailed in the giveaway manager post, 27 members qualified for entry (two abstained and two didn't meet the requirements). Those names were randomized and our three winners are:

• ComposerMike
• Philliesphan
• Snyderart

Congratulations! I'll be DMing each of you shortly so I can get your addresses and choice of prize from the TCDb Store.

Once again I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to talk about the ways other members made the site a better place for them. A few names came up quite often, likely to no one's surprise, and it was great to see this outpouring of friendship in memory of some of our departed members. Thank you!
