Here is something worth thinking about It's that I have an idea for the mill for new EVGA promotions, feel free to add other idea's as well There are EVGA Gold Ribbons well there were such as this one, right: What could be done is that you could remove the 10 behind the EVGA logo and engrave the EVGA logo in the centre of the circled part of the ribbon like what was done with the blue ribbon's centre: Such ribbons can be given to very high praised builds or very useful and rare idea's and such that hardly come by, someone also mentioned a ribbon with diamonds and gold, okay also possible. But even being a Gold Ribbon the famous saying is when you go for the first place you go for Gold and not for diamonds since there are no real diamond medals in any type of sport and ehy Computer building like case modding that is our sport right! So let them idea's start milling EVGA people!

I will forward your idea to the EVGA powers that decide such matters.

That is that a blue ribbon is supposed to be for. Not my problem some mods dilute the meaning of blue ribbons to be given for post count and birthdays.

Actually what Brad has said is untrue and that a very small minority of BRs are awarded to post count milestones. We also do not give out BRs for birthdays anymore. Quality and technical merit are the keys for BR awards.

as percent of total BRs, for that person, usually is pretty low. I think that's what he is saying.

Brad, that is small potatoes compared to the overall BR count. I see close to 200 BRs (196 exactly) given out in January from 3 mods. If you include all of the mods then you're talking probably 250 or so.

And what I'm getting at is that merit of post content and post count are not directly related. IMHO, post count BR awards dilute the meaning of them. It's why I flat out refused to give post count BR awards when I was a mod.

It's hard enough to get a blue ribbon as it is, would pretty much be impossible to get a gold one.

Well I think we should get a BR or GR for our B-day as a gift from EVGA to us, IMO!

kram36 Make yourself helpful around here and you could get some more BR's for yourself. Ok, useful like you are I take it? seabigbear Well I think we should get a BR or GR for our B-day as a gift from EVGA to us, IMO! And I think SBB should get 20 BR for every time he posts. That's just a wonderful idea.

In my opinion we should be thankful for every ribbon issued, regardless of reason, Not only do they encourage loyalty, but they generate sales, which generate income. It is important to remember EVGA does not have to do it at all, and it is Hit and miss at best since there is no way to insure every post is seen, or that the ones that need to be nominated, are. I look at post count as a way to compensate those that were missed. Surely in 1000 posts you posted one deserving post that didn't get caught. and if for no other reason than Diligences, think about how much effort goes into say 13,000 posts. Sure spam and unnecessary congrats, are also rolled up in the number, But I think eve the most dedicated spammers, help someone every once in a while. If I was able too, and could change anything about the program, it would be that you could pull up all BR's by a person to see what was awarded, when and why, To show and give examples of what earns one and why. But if EVGA decides to share the wealth, I am not going to begrudge anyone that gets a piece of the pie, regardless of reason, If I could I would gave everyone one, and RJ about a dozen .

X2 to be completely honest, i probably would have waited and got my 560 on major rebate but with having even a few BR's i chose to pay full price and buy direct. I gives that feeling like i was awarded a discount and not given a spammed online discount. I love this community and what they give back out to it.
