Forums Contest - Still Time Left

Kimberly Ann — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 17:00:21 GMT

Hi Everyone,

Just want to remind you that there is still about 2 weeks left in the forums contest! Get those posts in to earn your points.

As a reminder, there will be two contest winners chosen based on the highest relative increase in their total points during either July or August. FYI, there is not one winner for July and one for August. Each month is one period, but the winners will be chosen based on whomever has the greatest relative increase in either month.

There is still time in August to win the contest. Keep up the great activity!

Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

do you see a difference in "replying behaviour" since the competition started?

Just curious,
Wodisch

And if you've seen an increase in replies, how many have been useful replies and not just "me too" type replies?

Personally, I'm finding it harder to get points in August than I did in July.

Aw Dan,
Not fair. Don't you have a ton of Jornadas in the warehouse? ;)
Nice hat. You wear it well.
Have a great weekend!

Can I have a Royal wand instead. I miss the wizard environment :)

Wodisch_1 — Sat, 17 Aug 2002 12:44:35 GMT

Hi Merijn,

no way - later you will get a dry towel, but no wand at all ;-)
Maybe could do it the way I try (only 144 points missing to get it back)

Likely, the winner will be the one with the most free-time... Will ITRC post a list of statistics or just one present the winners?

To all of you: keep up the good work. Some of answers i'v recieved lately, saved me lots of troubles. Besides,i learned a lot of things too..

Regards,
Ceesjan

I knew about the competition & tried really hard to do some "forums" every night. But with out my HP-UX environment to check things out I found it hard! I've sort of given up trying to win a computer. But... to whom ever does, congratulations, I know it was hard work.

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback. I will post the results in early September. Great job to everyone! From a qualitative standpoint, I do see a good increase in the number of quality responses and the number of responses that get points awarded.

Regards,
Dan

Hi All,

Just a note to have some fun during July in the forums contest! We'll try to post how things are going in mid-july, and will have results at end of the month. As someone said earlier, please behave yourselves!

Take care,
Dan

Hi,

"..chosen based on the highest relative increase in their total points .."

Maybe next year, we could have someone to review the allocated points per reply to a question.

;)

Congrats in Advance to the Winner!

Cheers

No, I don't think so.
Wodisch opted himself out on his US/Asia login.

H.Merijn Brand (procura — Mon, 09 Sep 2002 13:23:27 GMT

But Wodisch also managed to be in the fast movers list with *BOTH* his ID's simultaneously last week.

Try to beat that!

Re: Forums Contest - Still Time Left

Wodisch — Mon, 09 Sep 2002 14:23:49 GMT

Hi Merijn (=procura),

beating an old man isn't that nice, is it?
But I have not checked (yet) wether "Asia" is a server on its own; if it truely is, then I could have a third Id (maybe for the Linux and the Windows forums?), and appear in your "fast movers" list in three positions, concurrently :-))

But I am as curious as you all who the winner is!

And this thread should be *closed*, by now...

Regards,
Wodisch

Hi All,

I have been busy analyzing the data and will be announcing a winner soon. I need to notify the two winners prior to posting them, so please standby while I hear back. Should be in next day or so.

Thanks,
Dan
