Top Contributors - October 2016

Jeremy_M — Fri, 11 Nov 2016 14:36:35 GMT

Hello Community,

October was an exciting month for our Community, and we want to share some of that excitement with you! Before we do, here are a few interesting facts about the month of October that you probably didn’t know:

The Anglo-Saxons called October Winterfylleth, meaning the ‘fullness’ of winter.
The Hunt For Red October, with Sean Connery, is the only film with ‘October’ in its title ever to win an Oscar. One of my top 10’s.
Thanksgiving Day in Canada has been a holiday on the second Monday of October since 1957. Longer weekends- yes!
Halloween is the second most successful commercial holiday, after Christmas.
Lastly, remember that 70s’ horror movie, Halloween (1978)? Well, it was produced on such a tight budget that they had to use the cheapest mask they could find for the main character, Michael Myers. The mask used in the film turned out to be a William Shatner Star Trek mask. Rumor has it that Shatner initially didn’t know the mask was in his likeness, but when he found out years later, he said he was honored! I would be too.

I’m proud to say that there are also some great things that happened in our own Community during the month of October. Here are a few highlights and call-outs that are well deserved:

Big shout-out to @Caroline_D, the newest member of our Community team. Please help me welcome Caroline_D to our wonderful Community.
We launched an exciting promo plan, 4GB for $40, on Oct 24^th.Get all the info here

Thanks for the nod on the Protocol for Contacting Moderators idea. I see that PM has taken the idea even further adding the tag to moderator names. Cool addition!

I found October to be very busy, fun, and even frustrating at times. It was great to see so many people stepping up, wanting to help others... and there's no doubt saying there was always a thread to comment on.

Thanks @Jeremy_M for your amusing monthly facts, as always. I totally want to watch the Hunt for Red October now. Thanks a lot! j/k

Hi all..

although i'm one of the newer members here i do appreciate and love PM support and services...

having said that, this community forum makes it possible and i think the honor belongs also to even the very newest member to our community as we all can make sure that PM will be a success and be around for many more years to come......negative comments on the board are always needed to remind everybody to not take customers for granted but to offer each customer the same great service

A BIG thank you to all of the PM staff for keeping PM running,improving and saving us all lts of money ...!!!!!!!

cheers.....
