August 2008 Bling

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:43:01 -0400

A day or two before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. This month, however, we’ve only got 1 person who’s receiving a Commitment Award - newlove. It is very fitting that Lise is receiving an award this month, as she has been putting a LOT of effort into the Corner Chats, as well as organizing some of the site improvements (more to come on that later today) and suggestions for making the Corner a better place. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to newlove who is receiving the award below!

July 2008 Bling

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:06:09 -0400

While I’m still technically on vacation, I’m now back from my week of internet exhile (I was on Mayne Island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada - no internet access). I promised my wife (and myself) that I wouldn’t work too much while on vacation, so I’m trying to get the essentials done, and I’ll start on the catch-up process when I get back to the office at the beginning of August. This, however, couldn’t wait. I always hand out the bling in the middle of the month before the Corner Newsletter goes out. This month, the newsletter will be late going out (in case you hadn’t noticed), so the bling is late too. There’s only 1 person receiving bling this month, and it’s none other than our Contest Corner Challenge machine: Spicoli, reaching the 5,000 post milestone with a grand total of NINE Contest Corner Challenge wins… Wow. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to Carl who is receiving the award below.

June 2008 Bling

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:16:59 -0400

It’s the middle of the month, and I’m preparing to send out the Corner Newsletter which means it’s time to hand out awards around the Corner. We have 5 awards to had out this month, including a Platinum Commitment Award to ohenry (only the fifth Platinum Award handed out to date). Now, these commitment awards are awarded to those who reach certain post milestones (10,000 posts for a platinum award, 5,000 posts for a gold award, 2,000 posts for a silver award, and 1,000 posts for a bronze award), but this one for Carl (aka ohenry) is much more than the 10,000+ posts he’s added to the Corner over the past 4+ years (yes, Carl has been around the Corner for over 4 years), but it’s a HUGE thank-you on my part for all the stuff Carl does around the Corner. Not only are all of his posts valuable to anyone that reads them (in fact, he wrote the article on how to critique a photograph), but Carl also pretty much runs the Premiere Corner and the Premiere Projects (and all he gets is, well, nothing). While I run and manage the Corner more or less by myself, without the help of a select few people like Carl, PhotographyCorner would not be the site that it is. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below.

Like clockwork, just before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. We’ve got three this month - thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below!

April 2008 Bling

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:39:16 -0400

Like clockwork, just before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. We’ve got 2 this month, and both “Cornerites” that are reaching milestones are new mods! Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below!

March 2008 Bling

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:08:44 -0400

Like clockwork, just before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. While there was only 1 post milestone last month, we’ve got 4 this month! Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below (including a veteran mod and two of the new mods)!

February 2008 Bling

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 16:18:36 -0500

As I promised last month, I'm going to start handing out the Commitment Awards every month. But you guys gotta make it worth my while! We have a lone member who's reached a milestone in the past month, though there a bunch of you that are super close... maybe next month. ;) Congrats goes to sweetrosie_99 for reaching the 5,000 post mark!

January 2008 Bling

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:26:37 -0500

I have been reminded on several occasions over the past couple of months that I have neglected to hand out Commitment Awards. Obviously it is long overdue, as we have 10 awards to hand out. From now on, I will do a new awards post every month, in the middle of the month, as long as there are new Commitment Awards to hand out. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below!

Back to School Bling

Sat, 25 Aug 2007 20:16:32 -0400

Some people have been getting on me to hand out some more bling, and sure enough, it’s been about 7 weeks since I last handed out the bling. We’ve got some members that are awfully close, but 3 members have hit milestones in the past 2 months. Without further adieu, here are the most recent Commitment Award recipients here at the Corner.

Nine More Awards to Pass Out

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 14:35:49 -0400

It seems like more and more people are hitting posting milestones these days. We have NINE awards to pass out now: one 5k Commitment award, one 2k Commitment award, and seven 1k commitment awards! Wow! Keep up the great work, everyone! After hitting 10,000 Members last week, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of these awards handed out every month. ;)

Passing Out the Bling

Obviously I’m still doing some catching up, and I’ve missed giving out a bunch of Commitment Awards on the forum. I’ve got 10 awards to give out: 4 Silver Commitment Awards, and 6 Brozne Commitment Awards!! Awards are listed below.

Time for Some More Bling

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 14:36:56 -0500

Since the Photograph of the Year contest has been keeping me pretty busy, I’ve missed giving out a bunch of Commitment Awards on the forum. Sorry guys! Over the past month or so, we’ve had 2 people receive Gold Commitment Awards, 2 people receive Silver Commitment Awards, and 5 people receive Bronze Commitment Awards!! Congrats everyone. Awards are listed below.

Time to Hand Out the Bling
