@DarthDimi is one of our most active moderators and troll-fighters, and for that alone we should thank him. But that's not all, of course. He'd be a great member even he weren't a mod, and his opinions on the Bond series are always insightful. He's a great fan of all kinds of horror movies, and his Kubrick retrospective was great.
The nominations seem to follow a trend, where the person who comes in second wins the next week. I'll keep it going with a vote for @thelivingroyale.
Also, I would like to thank everyone for getting this thread already to 11 pages in about as many weeks. It's been a great success, much more so than I anticipated. If it keeps its' momentum at this rate, it could become one of the great threads on MI6. Thank you again!
although that should probably be a beer mug, come to think of it ;)
Ever since I joined (Oct 2011) I have found thelivingroyale to be a consistently thoughtful, intelligent, fun, interesting, creative, and prolific member of this forum. I always enjoy his posts. He makes me think, he makes me laugh. He debates without acrimonious or antagonistic tones. He is consistently nice, down to earth, and kind. He loves animals - I remember well his writing so sweetly about his dog Rocky, how he found and rescued him (and then later he also wrote to let us know that Rocky had passed away). I remember his reaching out to members who are upset or going through a difficult time. In addition to all that decency that seems to flow from the man, he is also a huge Bond fan and a major contender for #1 Dalton fan. To top it off, he writes great fan fiction and also seems to know and enjoy all the popular games over the years (I am not a gamer, but he is a major gamer). He doesn't hesitate to speak his mind, yet always does so with fairness and clarity. I respect him as a genuinely great member of this forum, and I will look forward to his posts for years to come.
I want to also say thank you, thelivingroyale, for honorably serving your country while on duty in Iraq, and elsewhere. So glad you are with us. And you do deserve this tribute.
You also happen to have one of the coolest user names ever! B-) So here's to you, - the one and only, thelivingroyale!
:-bd
Cheers!!
Sit down, friend. Grab a glass. Let's talk.
And I want to thank you, @StirredNotShaken, for starting this thread. It has been mentioned that a similar thread was on the old forum, but I was not a member of that. I really appreciate you thinking of this one. It is, along with the Originals thread, one that will stand the test of time, I believe. In our too busy, often stress-filled lives we lead, where we are bombarded with unworthy "news" that isn't even news or is just depressingly negative, it is a genuine pleasure to read and participate in this thread to give tribute to deserving members. It is a positive focus and worthwhile. Thanks!
Bottoms up @livingroyale

and
@thelivingroyale is a hardcore Dalton fan, so I can forgive him for liking Eccleston's Doctor. ;)
:O but Eccleston's one of the best actors ever!
As would I and Dalton's certainly the better actor. But Eccleston is very high on my list as well.
As an actor in general, I can't really say, as I have not seen him in much besides a few episodes of Cracker, Doctor Who, 28 Days Later and that dire Gone In 60 Seconds remake. My comment was more aimed at his Doctor, which is one of my least favourites.
Of what I've seen from Doctor Who (a decent amount of each doctor, the movie with McGann, all of Eccleston and about half of Tennant and Smith) I really thought Eccleston was the best one.
He also has ties to Fleming: Jamaican roots. :)
Therefore I booked you a holiday to Paradise City:
And he's badass! =D>
An outstanding MI6 member in so many ways; the one and only @thelivingroyale.
Cheers again! I'm glad we are toasting you all week.
(Several months ago, he had posted the link for this photo of himself from his time in Iraq, and I thought it was the perfect time to share it again.)
Here's to an awesome dude I wish I could physically hang out with! But virtual is cool too. CHEERS!
@DarthDimi Sssshh, I thought the tattoos were a secret? ;). And don't forget my favourite film of 82 (and one of my favourite films in general), First Blood! Thank you, and I'm definitely here to stay :)
@Sandy That's one of the things I like about you, we have very similar taste in music. Oasis, Blur, Kings Of Leon, etc. Cheers! \m/
@MajorDSmythe One day I'll be able to convince you that Eccleston was great! Thank you, it's always nice reading some appreciation from another Dalton fan.
@StirredNotShaken I'd say the same about you (incredibly intelligent and thoughtful), thank you. Battle for the title of no 1 Dalton fan? Oh you're on! ;)
@Dragonpol You're one of the most intelligent members on here and you've created some very interesting threads, so it's great to read appreciation from you, thank you.
@Creasy47 I'd say the same about you. Thanks for the kind words mate, we Brosnan fans have to stick together after all :)
@Samuel001 Thank you, and I'd definitely say the same about you. You're somebody who's posts I've enjoyed since I first joined.
@CommanderRoss Never been there before. What's the grass like? And will there be fit girls? ;) Thank you for the kind words.
@doubleoego Cheers mate. You're somebody who's posts I always enjoy and who's opinion I always respect whether I agree or disagree, so thank you.
@WillyGalore In just a couple of months you've proven yourself to be a very funny and clever member, so it's nice to read appreciation from you, thank you.
@Murdock Nice to read kind words from a very creative and funny member, thank you.
@chrisisall One of the funniest members on here, a Brosnan and Dalton fan. I find myself agreeing with you a lot so it's nice to read appreciation from you, thank you :)
You may not be so badass in person, away from your tour of duty in Iraq.
But back then, at least, you looked badass. ;)
Always enjoy your posts; glad you are here to stay. So am I; some of us will be long term MI6 die hards, I feel sure.
