Me who refused to learn a 2 look OLL alg until sub 29

I didn't learn the last one until I averaged 21(Probably why my oll is bad)

 

[NmeCuber]

I had to relearn like 5 OLLs at sub-14 because of a hiatus

 

[VincentCuber]

I still don’t know pll

 

[Megaminx lover]

I learnt OLL to get sub-20

 

[OtaMota]

Bump, as survey is still open iirc

 

[OtaMota]

It is the best alg people who us the R U D alg are just lazy and don’t want to see the truth


edit: jk lol

Going to agree, rotation can be pretty good, not that RUD is bad though. Not the part about people being lazy though, it’s just that they are faster with the alg.

I use a rotationless one but it is different than most.

R' U R U' R' f' U' (RUgen antisune) f R

It flows well with the right fingertricks

These are unofficial but here is my version of the forum awards:

Spoiler: Best customization.

Personally I would give this to @Cubinginatree.
He has kept his pfp, signature, and banner pretty consistent and I like how his name, signature, pfp, and banner all share a similar theme

Spoiler: Best forum competition.

For this one I really enjoyed how @Discomantis ran his comp and it was pretty organized.
Honorable mention to @1x1 wr holder! and his comp.

Spoiler: Best progression thread.

I would give this to @AJT17. He is pretty consistent with his updates and has also started a daily ao200 series. I have really enjoyed seeing his consistent grinding of OH.

Spoiler: Most dedicated.

@gruuby definitely deserves this for his grinding of the 7x7 ao1000 in which he has already done 600+ solves.
Honorable mentions are @AJT17 and @gsingh

Spoiler: Best return from hiatus.

I think this one is a tie between @cuberswoop and @NmeCuber. They both returned after a hiatus and after that have also been fairly actively.
Honorable mention to @Filipe Teixeira , but he hasn't been that active after a few brief posts.

Spoiler: Most helpful member.

This is really hard to give to just one member so instead I'll just mention some people who provided advice for me.
First of all obviously @Mike Hughey and @pjk run the site and that takes a lot of effort so they should definitely be part of this.
For people that have helped me that includes @Enirolf for pyra advice, @NmeCuber for sq1 advice, @IsThatA4x4 for sq1 advice, @AJT17 for oh advice, @Jorian Meeuse for f2l adviace, and @SpeakCuba for sq1 advice. (I am probably missing a few people here)
Honorable mentions include @Dan the Beginner and his review on the Guhong pro and some of the reviews by @TheSpeedSkewber.
Also @Davian for doing the forum awards this year.

Spoiler: Most helpful thread.

This goes to @gsingh and his thread about a series of video guides to get faster. Find it here.
I haven't used it very much since I've been focusing on pyra but the few videos I did watch were very helpful and I realized many optimizations and finger tricks that I should have been using in my solves that I previously weren't

Spoiler: Most impressive forum achievement.

While I'm not sure if this is a good thing, this goes to @JDAW6 and his 3000+ messages in 8 and 1/2 months.

Spoiler: Best off-topic thread.

I really had a great time reading @Clock_Enthusiast and his thread about clock musings.

I'll make another post with more if I think of anything else and if you weren't on here you may be on my favorite members list.
Hope you all enjoyed the list!

Well to be fair I also forgot to submit for Halloween Favorites round 2. It's just something that happens a lot. (also at the time I had solved the skewb about 20 times and the pyra around 15 times) The concept of your comp was pretty cool though.
