We give Stupid Prizes to Smart People Hello All,       I just created a new site, http://www.community-credit.com, and I would like to get everybody's opinion and/or critique of.  I am not sure if this is the best place, but I would also like to invite folks to check it out.  It is a rather unique concept where we reward people for contributing to the development community by doing things like Answering questions in discussion forums, blogging, writing articles, posting examples and others.  The prizes that we give out are a bit "unusual"  (USB Lava Lamp, Red Swingline Stapler, etc) and you can see them here      Let me know what you think about the site design and the concept overall.  It is a fun concept and since this is a very active discussion board with some very sharp folks, I would like to see what kind of interest there is in the development community.  Thanks, in advance.      Thanks,           David Silverlight [MVP-XML]           HeadGeek@XMLPitstop.com Started By DavidSilverlight on Jan 17, 2006 at 6:04:23 PM

UserGroup - Attended a User Group Meeting Website - Created a website and (2)Could there be some sort of link to an example of each credit... for user clarification purposes? Maybe it's just me but the difference between Write an example and a discussion board entry could maybe be confusing. I mean is it an example or is it just an entry? Or does the example get higher points than the entry - or is it something totally different??? I'm so confused S-] Sincerely, RobinAnn  webmaster/photoartist Connect the Points!
