I know i voted! for best contribution to hardcore, I also put Silver, he did make happyhardcore.com afterall!
Seriously? I mean no disrespect to silver, but he hasnt done much for the whole hardcore scene, yeah he released about 5-6 record on his label & runs a pretty big hardcore website, but come on, so many people has done so much more.
It should be Sharkey that should win it, i mean look at AMS & Arkitech, Sharkey trained them up FOR FREE, in his own studio & Sharkey's also looking for someone else to train up, if only other artist's took note.

living outside of the uk its hard to who has really done what, and whos has made the best contribution. Our world is quite narrow. I voted Sharkey only because i was told to do so

I think Kev Energy over Sharkey
It's quite amazing looking back on how he has developed the Nu Energy label

Well, considering I have only heard one mix by sharkey and thats it, it would have been a pretty big injustice for me to vote for him. Being that Silver is my friend and I support him in what he is doing, it only seemed natural.

Funnily enough i'd already voted for this site and sharkey before i saw the thread. Guys an absolute legend to me but it's up to everyone to vote the way they chose best.
To be honest the results always disappoint me are a bit predictable bet it's the same this year. Still is a public vote so fairs fair.

I dont really remember anymore all who i voted. Most of the parts were stuff i couldnt even answer, best event? dont go to events. Favourite MC? again dont go to events, thus dont like mc's. Best track i remember, it was a tie between Chwhynny "I Am" and DJ Sharpnel "Shind Bad". Desided to go with "I Am", since the Sharpnel tracks awesomness is mostly due to sampling and not production, eventhough the Sharpnels addition is great, he really knows how to make a good kick and bass lines :) But Chwhynny is also one of the only ones pushing the old "Happy Hardcore" style into the newstyle, witch i think is absolutely fantastic.
Best website, this is the only Hardcore website i use regularely, so you can guess witch one i voted :p
Outstanding contribution was DJ Silver, witch most likely sounds like brown nosing (Dave can verify that ;)). But its from my point of view, Silver has had the most influence to me Hardcore wise. Actually i wouldnt even listen Hardcore if it wasnt for this site. I mainly listen Japanese Hardcore at the moment, and silver has helped me a lot to obtain CD's, information etc.
