Member of the Month - February 2009

[Alex Hess]

Member of the Month of February 2009 : Seeker!

First I would like to thank all members who were active this month. After all its not only one person that makes up this site but all of us. Thus said, there are still some of those individuals who make a big difference and which make it THAT MUCH more fun to be here...

Congratulations Seeker!
PRIZE: The prize awarded for this month is VIP membership (3 months), respect, and a neat award that will accompany you for the rest of your LIFE!

Seeker may not have a arsenal of posts but we all enjoy indulging and reading into his vivacious topics and posts. Having a key part in the community is very important. You will notice Seeker helping out users, asking questions, and being involved.

Thus said we have decided Seeker is the MOM of February.

What is this Member of the Month thing?!?

Abstract :
There will now be a MEMBER OF THE MONTH PRIZE draw, everyone is as a regular member is admissible. The prize will be an award icon and in some cases tangible prizes. Members Alex Hess and Lyle Borders are in charge of the development of this contest. All members of ExoMagic.com are defacto participating in this contest. The Member of the Month (A.K.A : MOM) will be selected through participation on ExoMagic.com.

To make things clearer here are some traits that the MOM could have :

• Good forum participation
  Pertinent posts (Example : A user who thought of a great thread)
  Publication of Articles
  Quality of the Articles
  Publication of Reviews
  Quality of the Reviews
  Publication of Academy videos
  Quality of Academy videos/reviews
  Answers other member's requests
  Shares his knowledge of magic to the community

The MOM will not necessarily be the most active member however. The MOM will be randomly selected among those who were considered by the contest administrators (Lyle & Alex) to be the most qualified in the past month.

By this prize we wish to thank the communities most active members and encourage everyone to participate actively on the forum. Mc Donald's has an employee of the month but ExoMagic's Member of the Month is far less CHEESY (Wow! That was a double layered joke... think about it.)

All in all, we want to thank all members for their participation.
We wish you a good month!


More about the Member of the Month :

Exo, Dotti, USAnarchy, and Mindslur had an online meeting and brainstormed about a different amelioration that could be added to make the site more appealing. Being an intricate motivator towards user participation we decided to begin a MEMBER OF THE MONTH PRIZE! and thus we discussed about various possible prizes that could be given out.

Many very good ideas came out as we discussed, some of which might be included in the future prizes. We wanted good prizes that members would enjoy having. Also, we wanted to ensure the prize's shipping cost to a minimum while having a maximum of value for its size and weight. Among other ideas we thought of : gimmicked cards, invisible thread, card decks, rubber deck pull-hookups, wrap-it up bubble gum trick by Jay Sankey, gimmicked coins (Ex : bite-out coins), stand up monte, color monte, ultimate monte, svengali deck, stripper deck...

Our choice ended on a deck of Tally-ho cards because not everyone has a deck like this: it's design is neat and they are very good cards for card manipulations. This prize is of course pending on the particular months budget. Please review the titling prize information to see exactly what is applicable. Prizes are tentative and may alter during times.
