Hey, as long as we get paid for the labour, I don't care what we do with 'em.
It'll be a better education that what they're doing currently :D
An education in the harshness of life.
We're on to a genius apprenticeship scheme here!
Really, it'll a service we'd be providing.
I wouldn't be surprised if we both got a Nobel Peace Prize.
I'm surprised I haven't got one already, with my War Studies students Battle Royale scheme and the Geography Student colouring book consultation hotline.
So yeah, looks like this thing is going to be just like it was the last time, all the old hands dominating the discussion and no one even voting for the unknowns because no one knows who we-
I also want MelasZepheos to be spotlighted, because I think he makes very insightful posts, but doesn't get a lot of recognition.
I...
uh...
oh
Well.
I'm surprised to say that I'm honestly moved. I've never ever been mentioned in one of these things before. Normally whenever they have these 'name as many Escapists as you can' things it's always the usual five-ten people but...
I don't know what to say. This calls for an immediate friending! Long live the Escapist Community Spotlight! And long live War Penguin!
Would love to be nominated for this, can't see it happening though :P. Still, I'm very glad to see this feature brought back! Always found it rather interesting, it was a shame when it just stop being updated one day. Now all that's left is to bring back Alt+Escape, and I'll be a very happy bunny xD
EDIT: Although as I say I would love to be nominated, I have to throw my support behind DaystarClarion as well. He's certainly one of the more prolific and well-recognised users on the site at this point, so well worth the nomination :)

Seriously, though. I do see you as the next Daystar Clarion. Or Sassafrass. Or Furburt. Or Hubilub. Or NoMoreSanity. Or Neonbob. Or MaxTheReaper. Or... well, that's as far back as I can remember. :P
But yeah, I do see you as a forum legend in the making. I remember when Daystar was an unknown. Look at him! You're time will come... Hopefully with a spotlight that I vote for you.
Well if we can nominate threads now, then I'll cast my vote for the three We Are Our Avatar and all of the Mall Fight threads. Mall Fight because it's a fairly long running RP (From 16th of Octobar 2009 to now.) and WAOA because it has gotton and ubsurd amount of posts over the three threads it's been in. I also vote for The Pub because of it refuses to die.
Well, I didn't know we had something like this before. Course I rarely venture outside of the RP Forum, so probably my fault.
Anyway, I'm going to throw out a name from that nook of the site, CounterAttack. He's one of the best fiction writers we got in the forums, he tries to spotlight threads that aren't really getting that much attention with his RP Digest thread, and he's just an all around nice guy. Plus New Zealand deserves some kind of bone, right? I mean, I could throw support behind my fellow Canucks Lost_in_the_Void or Redlin5, but Canada already has enough awesome things to be known for. I say give New Zealand a turn in the spotlight.

I'll throw my weight, the little I have, behind CounterAttack as well. His passion for the RP section is unmatched in my own opinion.
I'm throwing my hat in the ring for BloatedGuppy. His forum posts are insightful and he manages to stay calm even in very negative threads. He supports all of his arguments well as seen here, and he also helped me out with an article I was writing at the time. Definitely a top choice if you ask me.
Are we still nominating? In that case I nominate Renegade Shepard. I'd love to read the introduction paragraphs and see him answer all the questions in character as well as out.
And can we not interview Daystar Clarion by himself? How about we do The Brovengers and The Injustice League? (Doesn't have to be a joint interview.)

Daystar himself has mentioned he'd prefer a group interview as opposed to an individual spotlight on himself.
Who is holden caulenfield? wat is moralizing? am i doing it? and oh yeah does anyone else want to rub out all the fuck yous in the universe? did you just say fuck you to a bunch of ppl you dunno? is that smart? why is that smart, tell me.
TimeLord: Will there be some sort of epic and/or awesome badge made available for those who get a spot in the User Reviews and Community Spotlights?
I approve, agree, and side with what TimeLord said ....
I have a Badge Addiction. I'm so terribly sorry.
OT: So far two very interesting and long timing users were interviewed. This is a fun and great event you guys throw for us. I already announced who I wanted to be nominated so hopefully that person shall get the spotlight. Eventually, maybe.
I've sort of had my hands full with a few things, you may have noticed...
I promise that it's being actively worked on though, and that I'm waiting to reveal it for a reason :)
