Provider Poll - HY1 2019

Hi everyone, it is the time for provider poll again! A chance for providers to get the "Top Provider" tag and for the members to get free prizes
This year, Chris from ChicagoVPS is generous enough to sponsor 50 free 1GB RAM VPS for a year!
Try not to discuss in this thread so it makes our life easier when counting votes. (We will move the non-votes comments into another thread)
Important
Requirements to vote:
- Your account must be created before 1 Jun 2019.
- Your account must have at least 5 posts in between 1 Jun 2018 and 9 Jun 2019.
- Providers can vote, but not for themselves (the same goes for Host Reps).
Rules for voting:
- You get 3 votes
- One vote per provider (Some providers with multiple brand are considered as one)
- You can vote less than 3 times if you want
- This time, you get 1 additional vote. This is for "Most Responsive Provider", for the providers that you think are responsive.
- Voting will end on 23 Jun 2019 11:59pm (EST)

- IDs are used by lottery selection algorithm (see below)
- Providers can still add prizes by PM me the details
- Special thanks to the mods on helping to count the votes
To ensure the fairness of the lottery, this is the hash of the MAGIC_SEED
that will be used for selection: 2b63666a41267dfde504ccd62658172255d5987a322b937234a15c8f8adda61a
(SHA256)
const seedrandom = require('seedrandom');
// Those values are just an example
const MAGIC_SEED = 'Seed';
const ALL_USERS = ['FAT32', 'doghouch', 'hawc', 'netomx', 'JackH', 'hzr', 'trewq', 'PieHasBeenEaten', 'teamacc'];
const PRIZE_COUNT = 5;
// Find winners
const rng = seedrandom(MAGIC_SEED + '_' + ALL_USERS.length + '_' + PRIZE_COUNT);
let output = ALL_USERS.map((user) => ({ username: user, rand: rng() }));
output.sort((a, b) => a.rand - b.rand);
output = output.slice(0, PRIZE_COUNT);
output = output.map((selected) => selected.username);
// Output
console.log(output);
