Hello, and welcome to the backstage edition of the ReX Awards!
If you missed the ReX Awards the first time around, check out THIS link to celebrate some of our top community members of 2024. 
I’m not sure if you celebrate, but today (January 27th) is Community Manager Appreciation Day, so I figured that we would call out some of our prolific and dedicated moderators, community managers, and other Spiceworks Employees. (Volunteer moderators were included in the general awards before, but we included some specific backstage actions here, where they will show up again).
We’re also going to highlight some of the vendors that are jumping in to help the community as well. Basically we’re going to try to cover all of those “backstage” types who were working behind the scenes. I know, the names might not be that surprising in some cases, but we still want to honor the time and effort that goes into keeping everything running smoothly… or, you know, kind of bumpily, as it sometimes is.

These are primarily for the backstage crew, as I have mentioned, but I also added some other general things at the end, and in some cases throughout, if a high trust level gives the power to a normal user, they will be included in the stats.
So, let’s get to it… here are the backstage ReX Awards that we are giving out:
