Hello Everyone,

Thank you very much to all who voted for my 2 forums listed here; "The Power of Positive Thinking" and "The Welcome Wagon". I am glad to see that they came in 5th and 7th respectively. I am very proud of all of my forums, and I have read the comments given by the judges. I have taken their advice into account and will try to improve my forums according to what they thought needed improvement.

Thanks again to all and to the judges!

God Bless You,

Marilyn

I am back again!

OOPS! I forgot to Congratulate all of the other people and their forus! A big Congratulations to Jill Bachman for winning the #1 forum spot. Jill's forum is awesome and I can not think of someone that deserves the #1 spot more than she does! Way to go Jill!

Congratulations to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners as well! You all do a very good job! Keep up the fantastic work!

God Bless You,

Marilyn

Thanks everyone who voted!  Having a Best Forum Election was a unique idea in itself.  My Whammy forum membership doubled during the election time, and my advertising forum "List All Your Biz Sites Here" also had a huge surge in membership. 

No visual punch?  LOL.  Music videos are a visual and audio sledge hammer!

The term WHAMMY refers to being hit hard with something, in this case, entertainment and info about the performers.  After being there, you've learned something, seen something, heard something, you've definitely been WHAMMIED!

Hi Kathleen and Marilyn:

Thanks for posting.  First off, Marilyn I'm glad that the judges comments gave you some perspective as to how you can improve your forums and cinch the win later down the road.  That's excellent!  Good luck.

Kathleen, the fact that your views and memberships experienced a surge is terrific!  That's what we're aiming for when we put people's forums up on the voting block.  Sure, you have to open yourself up to a little constructive criticism but like in Marilyn's case you get some insight as to where you can improve your forums and in the meantime you get some additional traffic through to your website. 

Well Done Kathleen and Marilyn and best of luck to you both in the next round...

You ARE re-nominating for the next round, right?  :)

Michael

Congratulations To All.

You are all top winners.

Keep up the good work.
