    The other option, of course, is for the Maunder to come out of retirement and be an article machine again.

        Other's have answered as to how members get Professional status. It's open to anyone. MVP status is awarded once a year and is based solely on the points accrued by a member from the previous year. The award is given to 40 people: 20 for their articles, 20 for their contributions to answering questions. For those awarded for their authoring, they must have posted at least 3 articles in the previous year.

        cheers Chris Maunder

        Slightly off-topic but the staff and professional icons are a little too similar.

            Are you saying the staff aren't professional?

              Well, if you are implying that someone here's using their staff in a professional manner, I am sure I'd like to be spared the details. :rolleyes:

                He's posted over 30,000 messages here. One'd think that'd sorta lessen the impressiveness of his responses. Somehow he manages to keep his value high. :-D

                    In my utter modesty, I think I am to blame for that[^].

                    I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                      Yeah but you have to admit he does put in the effort, irritating as he may be he tends not to be outright rude, unlike some of us!

                        So good organisers do not have the possibility to be an MVP ? Article moderation or Q&A edition are also contributing a lot to the site content.

                          Excellent point, and one I've been trying to decide how to tackle. My goal is to expand (dramatically) the ability of members to organise the content. Reorganising, re-tagging, re-editing, flagging etc. This would then result in more opportunities for points and bonuses and would then allow us to provide either an MVP or a new category of special status. Writing content is one thing, but surfacing the good stuff is really, really important.

                            This is good news. If anything, there is still hope for me to get to the MVP status after 13+years here :rolleyes:
