This is the official moderator nomination thread for Video Cards and Graphics.

We will compile a list of nominees through Monday night. Voting on nominees will take place in this thread Tuesday through Thursday. The candidate with the most votes will have the opportunity to become a moderator for this and one other secondary non-social forum of their choosing.

Either before or after the vote, a candidate can withdraw his or her name from consideration. In the event that the candidate with the most votes withdraws his or her name, the candidate with the next most votes will be extended the opportunity, and so on.

AnandTech resevers the right to veto nominations at our discretion. We will do our best to allow you to pick the candidates you feel best suit the needs of your forum, but we won't allow members who can't follow guidelines to be put in a position to enforce them on others.

We will keep a list of nominees in this thread. If a nominee has been vetoed or has withdrawn their name from consideration, a note will be made next to their name. This will be done to prevent multiple posts nominating the same member. If the member you want to moderate this forum is already on the list, please don't post.

Please only post the name of the nominee in your replies. Please make sure it is spelled correctly before posting.

NOMINEES:

apoppin (withdrawn)
Cookie Monster (withdrawn)

xtknight
BFG10K
taltamir

Times up. It's Monday night and the nominations are over.
The voting on your selections will begin as soon as we have
looked things over and we post the candidates on Tuesday.
Thanks everyone for your nominations.

I'll agree to that but I would like to add TheSnowman along with BFG10K, they may not get along to well but both are knowledgeable when it comes to video cards and sorts.

I'd like to put my name forward for video. :thumbsup:

I try to have zero vendor bias (i.e. I'll criticize any vendor I'm not happy with), plus I have no affiliation to any GPU vendor.

I can be abrasive at times, but I think I can work on that. :p

Just so you know, Apoppin adamantly supports Vista 32. For this reason I cannot vote for him. I'm voting for Cookie Monster just because I don't know him, and I know Apoppin. Can we please get someone worth voting for? Taltamir would be a good choice.

BFG10K is a straight shooter :) He's just not shown any bias in all the years I've seen his posts, and that's both here and at place like Ars, where his rep is also A+

He has my vote. I have seen him make threads where proponents of both major graphics IHVs accuse him of bias towards the other, or just unfairly critiquing their favorite, that is a rare talent i.e. he has to be doing something right ;)
