Tagging Bowlhead99 as one of your "wonderful people" won't work Ambassador - he was banned ages ago.

And the board is poorer for it... obviously we are not allowed to comment on the rationale of moderator PPR decisions, but I always found their posts to be very useful, if somewhat lengthy! Often I needed to sit down with a cup of tea before digesting one of them

He was banned, but reappeared in a new guise, but then stopped posting due to some family issues I think.

Hoenir ( nee Thrugelmir) is banned though.

One name missing is JamesD, who is not banned but stopped posting in 2023 I think and then reappeared in January 2024 with a flurry of posts, which abruptly stopped.

I hadn't clocked that Thrugel/Hoenir had disappeared. But of course. He has. Shame.

Thinking back over the over my last 8 years here other significant contributors not already mentioned include the great @xylophone @cloud_dog @LHW99 @Bostonerimus1 (formerly @Bostonerimus) @TBC15 the less active these days @Prism and one of our most successful investors the self appointed MSE gold expert and totally banned @DiggerUK.

I'm sure we are still missing a few more wonderful long term regulars (particularly from the cash savings threads) so sorry if you haven't been mentioned yet.

Yes a loss to this place but it's nice to see they are still very active elsewhere.

Thanks so much.

In addition I'd like to add a few of my own:
@soulsaver for maintaining Top Easy Access acs Ranked: Top of The Pots - **No Chat** thread
@Kazza242 for maintaining the Cash ISAs: The Best ISAs Currently Available List
@Special_Saver2, who maintained the Top Regular Saver discussion threads for 17 years until last year.

The above have also made a great many contributions to the forum over the years in addition to the threads they've maintained.

Colsten was always very helpful too, but she was banned. Hope she has re appeared in a second coming.

Great additions. But special thanks to hallmark for initiating this. It is an excellent way to start the new year.

She came back as Daliah, got banned again, then as Band7. I'm not aware of her making an appearance since though.
