Awesome idea! I think that even without the incentives, this is a great motivator for the community.

oops I didn't think about that. (facepalm)

It is non-transferable unfortunately, but it is a great idea.

I mean, we could still try to do a rumble of sorts? We won't be able to offer anything, really, except sheer gratitude, but it would be something to pull everyone together while we are without upper management.

yup, can't make the transfer. and I agree, it's a great idea. maybe you can contact Ilya or maybe even Fred & ask him how to proceed w/ your idea.

I'd be willing to put my points toward sponsoring something like this if it were allowed.

I think there is still a way that we could do this as a community. I mean, the points that we have ourselves cannot be transferred to another person, but there has got to be SOMETHING that we can offer up to get the excitement going, yeah?

Well, I think the recognition from the community would be nice enough for a start. Would this be open for all members to vote on or just advanced ?

Hey, check out the other thread because even though the rumble was cancelled for now, I have an idea (or twelve, lol) to offer $25 gift cards in a different sort of rumble, one where you nominate your own review from any you've ever written and you pay a small fee to enter. Those fees (say $2.50 or less -- if more are interested in entering, the price could be less, but the minimum gift card amount is $25) are all put in the pot and the winner gets all of it in the form of a gift card at least in the amount of $25, though it can be more depending on how much we collect that rumble. I fleshed out my idea in the following thread and answer questions there. Mention your ideas there or send me a PM if you like!
