As we toss our 2012 calendars in the trash (for those of you that have not moved on to the digital version) and prepare for a hopefully better 2013, it is important to look back and give credit where credit is due. We want to reward the best contributors, products, photos, and personalities that make up our site. We split this into two parts. THIS being the first half, and the second poll running tomorrow. Please vote. The poll results will influence our content in the coming year.
