Top Contributors January 2017

[Jeremy_M]

Hello Community,

We kicked off the New Year with a bang by updating our Community.  This update made our Community mobile-friendly, increased our search functionalities and made sharing information a lot easier. Out with the old and in with the new! While embracing change can be difficult in the beginning, we hope that you enjoy the benefits of these changes.  

I’m proud to say that there are also some amazing things that happened within our Community for the month of January. Here are a few highlights and call-outs that are well deserved:

1. We are in the process of hiring a Senior product manager- More info here
2. We completed a few ideas that were submitted by @Chaos_Scorpio, @ShawnC13, and @SD08 using our the Public Lab –Keep the ideas coming!
3. More than 250 accepted solutions – Awesome job team!
4. Over 7k Bravos given to our members!
5. BYE BYE ROGERS – one of the hottest topics in January by @Kimber1

A huge thank you to our super Oracles, our Top 0.1% who go above and beyond of not only starting healthy discussions, but helping others to better understand our services and contributing to our awesome Community on a daily basis.

We would like to tip our hats to these awesome folks below for not only providing feedback and support to our Community members, but also for building on the solutions provided by others. Together January’s Top 0.5% contributed to over 1000 replies, and together received over 1000 Bravo’s. Truly Amazing!  

We also want to give a shout-out to these members who have been active as well – posting, answering questions, providing feedback and getting Bravos.   Keep it up!

Great job to all those who contributed to the community this month.  I was pleasantly surprised to be in top 25%!  I have only been with PM for a month and it has been awesome.

@srlawren, I appreciate this totally.  It isn't about the money part.  The prestige of being on the top of the hill for being the most helpful is a feather on the cap that some of us mere mortals would like to achieve one day.  Sending you guys off to a desert island with no access to civilization for a year is the only advantage I can think of that would give me any kind of fighting chance.  Beside, you guys do deserve a vacation reward for the effort.  I wonder if a labs suggestion of sending oracles on vacation to a deserted Pacific island would have any chance of making the grade.  I will race you to see who gets registers in this idea in the labs forum first.

@will13am okay you've convinced me, I'll start packing immediately!  🙂  Where am I off to? I better pack some sunscreen....

How about Giligan's Island?  Pack whatever you want, but no electronics or other materials to make a cell tower.

Congrats! 🙂

[sheytoon]

Woohoo! Happy to be helpful! Congratulations to everyone 🙂

The 0.5% level is reasonably achievable.  It is the 0.1% that is unobtainable, unless we can get the oracles to take an extended vacation for year.  Maybe we can crowd fund a vacation for them as reward for all the past and present hard work.  The vacation would have to be on a deserted island with no internet. 

---

@will13am LOL!  Trust me, the vacation is a lot more $$$ than the 0.5% to 0.1% difference!  I know you were kidding, but in all honesty, the reward-to-time-spent ratio for community rewards makes community contribution purely a labour of love!

Since the backlog of issues were cleard the community has really died down. It's going to be hard to continue to post new information/suggestions someone hasnt already.

 Obviously, with each higher level of contribution, it becomes increasingly more difficult to achieve such level.  The 0.5% level is very achievable but it certainly isn't easy.  You likely have to spends hours on end to reach that.  So, all the more appreciation should be extended to anyone who has put that much time in the community.

As for the top 0.1%, from what I've seen of past top contributor threads, I'm pretty sure that honor is reserved only for oracles. But that's okay, because the oracles have shown a proven track record over an extended period of time to warrant the recognition that they are given.

I can't read anyone else's mind but for anyone who didn't catch on, I'm almost certain that Canuck was a ribbing about the teams, and not really commenting about community contributions made by Ndesai.  lol.  We wouldn't anyone to misunderstand.  😉

[computergeek541]

Good job to everyone for another good month.  Hopefully, the rest of the winter continues without much more of the stormy weather (example: freezing rain and power failures in Ontario last night)

Congrats!  First time in the 0.5% level for me too.  Woot!

I didn't think I had done enough to get this level, so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
