CodeProject MVP
-
I noticed some people got awarded CodeProject MVP. What are the benefits of being an MVP and how do you get to be an MVP?

People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith -

Well, it seems like nobody is giving you straight answer. Do you get the CP newsletter? It pretty much says it all there: We started The Code Project to help Visual Studio developers with their day to day programming. The articles you read and the answers to your questions on the message boards are all provided by our members. We would like to acknowledge the help of those who, through message votes and article ratings, have been chosen by our readers as the Most Valuable CodeProject.com members of 2006: etc. Marc

No, no, it's me who offers a huge thank you for an undeserved award. I hadn't checked my email until a short time ago and saw the newsletter. Surely there has been some mistake.
only two letters away from being an asset

I think because he is having good percentage of 5 rating for his posts.. :)

Not sure. If I post one post in a year and got 5 for that. Then its 100 %. :)

I assume you really ment Infrared[^]
An area in the electromagnetic spectrum extending beyond red light from 760 nanometers to 1000 microns (106 nm).Or was there a joke there that I just flat out missed? :~

Chris, I'm not saying this because I missed out on an MVP this year (Moving job and house takes its toll on the free time one has, so I didn't expect one this year), but this guy[^] who has one article and 31 posts in total is just taking the micky. I know all a CodeProject MVP confers is bragging rights, but even that has to be worth something and the bestowment of an MVP on the aforementioned person just cheapens the whole thing, IMHO.

God like powers? The best part is there is no way to prove whether or not the MVP's have been bestowed with God-like powers because no one personally knows God nor the true definition of God like powers.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage
Not true - Christian Graus (hint in the first name right). He must have god like powers.

I agree 100 percent with you Colin. There is definitely something wrong with the selection process. I think the all the MVP awards should be withdrawn until the selection process is fixed and then the award can be reissued. If that means I loose my MVP then so be it.
You may be right
I may be crazy

31 questions only? He's barely past lurker status. Give his MVP to Colin Mackay - now he deserves it.
