December 2, 200520 yr Each year Ed Ladner has taken it upon himself to conduct voting for the Pooner of the Year and the induction of a new Lifetime Pooner into an awards section on his web site. Ed handed over his site and Pooner duties this year. Please vote at: http://www.harpoonpages.com/poonervote/pooner-Intro.php Only votes cast through the above system will be counted but kind words on this forum about your choice is a grand way to recognize the contributions of your nominees. The winners will be announced the first week in January. Voting closes within a couple hours of the new year. Spread the word, please post your own version of this message on other sites so that as many Harpooners can be reached as possible. Please contact pooner@harpoonpages.com if you have difficulties with the voting system. Sincerely, Anthony Eischens HarpoonPages.com (Dr. Who's Harpoon Pages)

January 6, 200620 yr Thanks, everyone. Congratulations to Ed on a well deserved recognition of his long time commitment to this great sim. 2005 was a watershed year, for sure, what with the establishment of HarpGamer and a real Harpoon community presence on the Web in places like ACG/SZO that was never there before. The continued work on the HCDB and many, many new scenarios by a variety of designers was only possible because of the stalwart support of true friends, and the creation of places like ScenShare and HarpGamer where we can take pleasure in our “obsession” without old school negativism. Thanks again.
