Hoya for best new method

Click to expand...

Hoya is new? I thought it was invented years ago.

Most discussed member - Marcel from Holland (I don't read the thread, I just see that it's huge)

The thread about Marcel looks more like a blog than like an introduction thread. (At least according to what people say about it, I don't read it either.)

lol I'm like subscribed to it. I get email updates.
We don't discuss Marcel so much as just, yeah, blog. And chat about pb's and cubes and stuff.

Last chance for nominations! Make nominations! I'm still offering a hug to anyone who fills out every category!

Haven't been as active as past years but I'll give some of these a shot.
