This month, I need help compiling a list of all eligible programs for the 2006 Qlympics. That means EVERY QB / FB program released since January of 2003. Each entry must be accompanied by a working download link, or a link to the official site. I want the nomination list to be EXTENSIVE, and no eligible program should be left off.
How do you nominate a program / person? Just tell me their name, the name of their program (if applicable), and a link where I can find the work.
For nominations of websites / articles / tutorials (for the "written" category, just list off any article series or site that you think should be considered for the category. The same thing goes for Best Villain / Gaming Hunk / Gaming Babe, and Most Groundbreaking Program, etc.
Any questions? Post 'em below!
