I hit the 1000 bravo mark in a 30 day period!

I have no idea if this has been achieved before in the past.  It feels stratospheric to reach such a milestone.  Many thanks to those who played a major role in putting me over the top. 

I couldn't have done it without all the help.

@will13am not sure but I think I hit it after 24days 😉 But these were obviously different times 🙂

Congradulations!  Amazing accomplishment.  Keep up the great work....

@srlawren  @NDesai  Ah, so that explains it... bravos can be given/received in Martin's Corner.  I was wondering about the rather significant differences in bravo totals between those views for the oracles.  I was pretty sure the French side bravos did not account for all of it.  Thanks for that explanation.

 

*filing that to my knowledge base: Oracles, Perks & Privileges*


@SD08 yes.... however.  Since virtually nobody (but the other oracles, plus the PM staff whom also have access to Martin's Corner) has read access to those bravos, they really aren't a "perk or privilege" per se.  Since bravo count is only 1 component of the [proprietary] algorithm that determines community ranking every month--and the oracles are already excluded from that ranking and whitelisted to the top category--there is no net difference to anyone but the other oracles seeing a [slightly] higher bravo count for each other than the rest of the community-at-large sees.


@srlawren

I didn't mean to imply there was any real benefit to the Martin's Corner bravos.  And even if there were, the oracles would certainly deserve it.  'Perks & Privileges' is simply my tongue-in-cheek designation for my accumulated knowledge of anything and everything oracle related.  Smiley Happy

@NDesai exactly.  @will13am bring up an incognito tab and have a look, you'll see how it appears to the community at large.  The bravo count seems to take into account the viewer's permissions, so myself and anyone else who isn't an oracle only see the count for threads outside of Martin's Corner.

You are still in second place.  I don't really celebrate milestones on the leader board.  That would be tasteless.  The bravos over 30 days are a "depersonalized" celebration.

I will take another penalty for excessive celebration, this is the third time cracking the 1000 barrier.

@Rockdaddy22and I have declared a tie.  I am okay sharing the record with him, unless another surprise comes along and this forum lights up with activity again. 


@kav2001cwrote:

@ShawnC13 Rockdaddy had the old record (smashed what the old crew ever accomplished) back during the Fall Promo period but I do not beleive he had 1000

 


I thought I saw 4 digits on the board before.  I may be wrong but I am thinking it was righta round Dec 16 or Jan 17

Wow, I can't even imagine the amount of time that must have been spent here in the past month to achieve that.  Thanks for being so active.

Congrats!  I was wondering too if anyone had ever done this and I was quietly rooting for you.

 

Here's another couple of bravos, just so it lasts a little longer before it disappears, ephemeral as these things tend to be.  Cat Happy

I've kept meaning (and forgetting) to ask: how much "off-topic" chitchat is tolerated on these forums?

And I just gotta say I find an emoticon named "manwink" mildly disturbing, lol.

Congrats i guess. 


Guity as charged, this is pure self promotion!  So not absolutely necessary.  I will take whatever punishment the webmaster decides is appropriate.

Milestones need to be celebrated!  It's a lot better than seeing someone b**ch about PM without even identifying their actual problem.

Congrats!
