Thank you Cartographers Guild Members.

I agree wholeheartedly. I try to drag as many folks as I can kicking and screaming over here, but it is their willingness or lack there of that determines their contribution amount.

Thats kind of my thought behind the thread I posted earlier about Featured maps. If we did more featured maps and people saw their names in lights so to speak, it may be an incentive for more people to stick around and keep contributing which just helps the whole thing grow even more. I have only been active for around 8 weeks, but I see many of the same 15-20 names pop up most of the time. hmmm perhaps the CL's could think of something to give higher new high volume posters something special... Perhaps 1 point of rep for 50+ posts in a month.

You actually do get rep for number of posts.

the odd thing is that the stats say we have circa 500 active members, but you're right only 20 or so are regular posters. I wonder why the rest of the 480 are so shy?

I love this site. I may not post as much as I did initially (damn you real life!), but it is the first site I go to when I log on each and every day!

[RPMiller]

You better. You have a job to do mister! I do too actually.

[Sigurd]

Arcana, The vibe around here is absolutely a reflection of your generosity in running and keeping this site. I've spent _too_ much time here recently but its such a refreshing creative place!

Thanks to everyone,

Yea, but 50 posts barely puts a dent in the 1000 needed to earn a single point of rep.

But like I said (and ravells noted also), most regular postings comes from a pool of 20 or so users. That one of the reasons I suggested more frequency to the Featured map to hopefully get, as I stated, more "names up in lights" in the hope that they will stick around and post more often.

I've said it before.. I'll say it again... THANK YOU ARCANA ... its a great place to hang out

[Robbie]

Yeah active users includes active lurkers...I'd rather have 500 lurkers and 20 posters than just 20 users...so we've come a long way.

I'm sure glad for this place. I wanted to make a map using GIMP, and if it weren't for this place, I'd be feeling my way blindly. Now, I feel like I can really do this! I kind of wish I had more to contribute, but I still feel like a newb...
