2025 THWACK MVPs Have Entered the Chat

Some wear lab coats. Some wear hoodies. A few might just become one with the command line. But each year, a select crew rises above the rest to earn the sacred badge of THWACK MVP: a title reserved for those who know their stuff and share it generously across the SolarWinds galaxy.

Today, we’re rolling out the (digital) red carpet for the 2025 THWACK MVPs, a brainy bunch of community legends who have gone above and beyond in forums, product discussions, troubleshooting wizardry, and general good-human behavior.

But first…

A Heartfelt Thank-You to Our 2024 MVPs

To our outgoing MVPs: You held the line, dropped knowledge bombs, and made the community stronger.

Thank you for your service from all of us at SolarWinds and THWACK. May your toolsets be sharp and your dashboards be ever-satisfying.

Meet Your 2025 MVPs

Behold: The newest additions to the THWACK Hall of Fame. If you see these names around the community, toss 'em a high five, a badge, or a celebratory GIF—they’ve earned it.

How Do You Become a THWACK MVP?

Glad you asked! To join the ranks of the THWACK elite, here’s what we’re looking for:

• Knowledge Sharer – You help others solve problems with practical, actionable advice
• Consistent Contributor – You regularly engage in discussions, answer questions, or post helpful content
• Community Energizer – You uplift, inspire, and elevate the vibe across THWACK and beyond
•  SolarWinds Savant – You know your way around SolarWinds tools (and you're not afraid to flex it—humbly, of course)

Nomination is a mix of staff selection and community observation, so if you’re making waves, we’re watching (in a non-creepy way).

Why Become an MVP?

Besides eternal bragging rights and an ego boost measurable only by packet loss?
Here’s what you get:

• Exclusive swag only MVPs can earn (and wear like a badge of honor)
• Direct connections to SolarWinds product teams
• Early access to product updates and betas
• Spotlight moments in THWACK, events, and beyond
• A place among peers who speak fluent CLI and GIF

Basically, it's like joining a secret society, but with fewer robes and more routers.

So if you're thinking, “Maybe next year, that could be me…”, you're absolutely right!
Keep showing up, helping out, and nerding on. We see you. And we’d love to crown you MVP next.

THWACK on,
