We awarded our very first VIP badge over 8 years ago! We see so much amazing community work and we want to formally recognise this with a little monthly giveaway.
Every month we'll select 3 recipients and award them the VIP badge plus we'll send them a little goody bag full of awesome hotukdeals merch.
We've been working on this idea for a little while and we have already selected the first 3 recipients who have been sent their goody bag. These members are @jayhutton10 , @DealDroid and @tregs
Please use this thread to chat away, highlight awesome community work and let us know anything you think we should consider.
What about existing VIP members?
We've got their backs. We sent over 100 Original VIP mugs to our existing VIP members over the past few weeks.
What if I am extra-awesome and get selected again?
Then we'll reward you again.
Is there any criteria to being selected?
Nope! Just be awesome. Look out for the community, contribute where you can and get involved across the site when members are looking for help.
Can I nominate someone?
Absolutely! You can do that by messaging any of the moderation team or sending a message to @hotukdeals_team Please remember though to tell us why you believe someone deserves to be recognised.
What is in the bags?
These can be subject to change but we'll always include stuff which is genuinely useful.
I've seen pics of your pens. Are they as amazing in real life?
Yes.

If you do get selected and you'd rather not receive the goody bag just let us know at the time
Just the mug would do nicely!
maybe I shall start a petition. @arcangel111 has probably already nominated himself
good to see you've got some proper tea for that mug.

Should have put a disclaimer "serving suggestion, tea not included"
THE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL VIP THREAD is here
(and still the best...well not too bad ta)
Thank you!
Congratulations to the first 3 winners!! Well done
Nice gesture HUKD, some lovely gifts there After a very brief moment thinking about who I'd first like to see get the V.I.P badge. It would be @shabbird who does so much here, running competitions, holding the quiz, etc, etc... There are lots more people who deserve this too, but shabs is top of my list. Thank you
Couldn't agree more @shabbird for VIP I nominated way way back, hoping now is his time
We'll probably do them at the end of the year when we usually have to drink heavily to get us through Flamedeer season.
If that's not a hint for a certain Christmas competition, I don't know what is
I didn't say which year.
In Hot Fuzz style...
What year?
Every year!
(congrats to the winners, you all deserve it)
Good idea and while they're at it, put the Nice Guy badge back as well
Me three! Couldn't agree more. Think @shabbird is awesome and deserves all three VIP badges Never before have I met a more kind, genuine, beautiful soul in all my life!
I can see a trend her
blast from the past that thread, happy days back then.
Congrats tregs, a worthy winner
Never did get one of them
Nice kitchen
