Icehawk's Top 263 Users of 2009

Icehawk started his own big Top User List for the first time in 2009.

Introduction
Hello.

First off, I'd like you to note the lack of LIES in the topic title. I am a good and honest man. I do not claim to bring you a "top 500" users list of the year, because, thats just an arbitrary number used to bring in the posts. I personally went through the board, as well as the wiki, and came up with 263 users I felt like I could say a few words about. Now, I doubt I'll be doing writeups on everyone, but if anyone requests one, I should be able to say something!

But yeah, I decided to step up and do my own version of this topic since Smurf is a big fat failure.

This is my personal top users of the year. When ranking, I was actually surprised myself at how high some people are this year. It's probably because I don't talk to people on AIM so much anymore, so people's posts on the boards contributed a lot more for me.

And while this is my personal favorites, when I was trying to figure out where to rank some people, being a positive contributor to the board generally gives you a boost in my eyes. Also, this is my actual 2009 rankings. I tried to only base this off 2009 interactions for the most part, though theres naturally some exceptions, but the point is, some people I like ended up lower than they would have been otherwise.

So basically, ignore Smurf's lame topic and come here to fulfill your 2009 ranking needs! I'll be starting this in an hour or 2, got stuff to do.
