Alipha
Making stops at Future Software and the now old QBasic.com, Alipha is known as one of the most frequent helpers at the QB discussion boards, giving quick feedback to new QB programmers and making sure they are on the right track. Alipha was nominated to the Gaming Gold Gaming Legend category by many of the people he had helped during his stays at the discussion boards. Humble, his name is known by the best by the people whom he helped.

Nekrophidius
Though most popular for the release of his massive but unfinished QBRPG Wrath of Sona, Nekrophidius has also made a name for himself by being the main writer for QB on Acid, the most brutally honest QB magazine publication ever released. Nekrophidius is also a major contributor to Darkness Ethereal and Lost socK Software.

Marcade
A man of the elements, Marcade is best known as the person who put together NeoBasic (a free-flowing place for QB conversation and a major QB download site), Zengun Technologies (a QB website hosting service), and Marcade.net (a fiery sanctuary intended to be the home of his "brainwaves" and other devious schemes).

Tek
Tek is the man behind tekscode.com, and NeoZones Productions. Tekscode.com is a site-hosting service and NeoZones Productions is one of the longest lasting QB sites of all time. NeoZones Productions is most noted for QCity, a virtual paradise for QB game and utility downloaders.

Dieter Marfurt
This year Dieter Marfurt shattered the notion that QB couldn't integrate 3D realistically into it's games by producing two game demos. The first is QB Kaboom!, a first person shooter where the spirit of Wolfenstein 3D meets with a little bit of Arachnophobia. The second is QManche, a mind-blowing helicopter simulation.

And the winner is...

Nekrophidius!
