I want to point out that KADE includes Denegatron, Bootsector, and me.  PL1, RaBlack, and John are huge contributors as well.

That is easy, Degentrons because he has been involved in all three nominated projects to various degrees.  He helped raBlack with his initial technical designs and Degenatron's open source weecade CAD files are what HaRuMaN used to get started making CNC bartops.  Both products have evolved over the year but they have firm roots in Degenatronland.

Yep, the Degenatron weecade design started it all for me, and then it just ballooned from there...   :cheers:

Wow!  It's great to receive an award from you guys.  It means a lot.  Thanks to everyone who voted for KADE.

Shout out to HaRuMaN (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,130522.0.html) and rablack97 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,130522.0.html) who made awesome contributions this year.

Thanks for the support.  It was an honor to be nominated with the likes of rblack97 (who is a HUGE KADE supporter) and HaRuMaN who is helping lots of folks get into our hobby.  I want to give a shout out to another winner, PL1, who is also a HUGE KADE supporter.

We have some stuff in the works that I hope put us in the running for a 2014 nomination!

Woot! Thanks, man! (I'll hold you to that.) ;)

And secondly, how did I miss these threads? I need to read more than just the "new" threads.

You need to have a new product in 2014 to get nominated.  >:D

I brought out five 1P bartop models, two cocktail models and two pinball models in 2013. I do have several new models in production right now that I believe may suffice.

Better physically release one before midnight, December 31, 2014. And don't ---smurfing--- release it on January 1, 2015 and say I meant to post this yesterday.  >:D

Actually, if you read it closely...

Hardware - custom built or modified controls, lighting, products, or other physical cab elements that are new or improved this past year and advanced the hobby.

...with this rule, I can simply reference the newest updates to existing models that occurred in 2014 to assure a nomination. (However, it looks like a couple of different models did actually get created in 2014, so I'm pretty safe in either regard.)

Adding Malenko's LCD mount idea doesn't count. If anything, he'd get the award.* :laugh:
