Thanks both of you. I feel very welcome here and I feel honored because of the attention and compliments.

Lol

I do not stand a chance against entoserv!

I know I can be simple at times. But I also know if you don't try yo don't get.

I heard about a man who seemed to be winning a lucky draw nearly every month. It was in the days of post in competitions. When asked how he felt about being so lucky he said it was not luck. He just entered everything he found.

Oh, and for those of you who haven't realised, the reputation icon is the little scale at the top right of a post.

Dave and Riaan.

If you do not mind, can I make a suggestion How about a similar promotion for the person referring the most members that are contributing to the forum? Would certainly help to grow the community?

[RKS Computer Solutions]

Going to leave that suggestion to Dave, we're still getting around some technicalities regarding how to get the most out of the competition for both parties concerned...

It sounds like an option though... You planning on referring 100's of new people any time soon? We're almost at 1000 members for the forum....

[Dave A]

We can always run a referal promotion for August instead of carrying on with the reputation one.

In fact, let's do this - Referal promotion for August and back to the reputation promotion for September. If we carry on with the promotions we can alternate (or in time when we get more sponsors, we can have two promotions running at the same time).

[RKS Computer Solutions]

That's what I was thinking - split testing... Might even think about taking both into account on a 50/50 scoring basis...

[Dave A]

How about if we give 10 points for each referal, and reputation points count straight up. I've just benchmarked referals in case everyone reckons this is the way to go - in which case referal points can start accumulating towards the promotion from now.

[RKS Computer Solutions]

Agreed, I think it's fair.... CM?
