Title: February 2019 MotM/PotM: Winners Announced!
Post by: jamonwindeyer on March 01, 2019, 02:05:04 pm
We've just rolled through another month on the ATAR Notes forums!! It's been another big one, with some amazing contributions, and some big changes to the leadership team. Particularly want to say congratulations to our new Natmod miniturtle, and our newest HSC mod angewina_naguen. Also want to say another big thank you to dancing phalanges and Opengangs, two HSC mods who decided to step down this month ;D

With big changes in the leadership team, this should be the cue for everyone to step up! The leadership positions on our site might seem totally distant, but they are really just a matter of getting involved and showing us your passion. Our moderators help drive the site into the future (and often end up working with AN as authors, tutors, lecturers and/or support crew) - If this sounds great, get involved! It could be you in the future ;D

For those that are new, every month we like to recognise two users who have particularly stood out for their contributions, whatever form those may have taken. On top of that, we point to a bunch of instances of amazing individual contributions - Guides, answers, whatever - And encourage our users to highlight anything we missed.

Without further ado, let’s jump into our MotM for January 2019!
THE NSW WINNER FOR FEBRUARY IS...
Spoiler
AVOCADINQ! On the HSC end, we're recognising a user who registered back in September of 2017, but posted for the first time just this year. They epitomise exactly what we want from our newest members of the community - Asking questions, but just as keen to give advice and even provide feedback in our marking section. It's so simple, but this give and take is what our community thrives on - We're keen to recognise it, and hope that this inspires others to do the same!!

THE VIC WINNER FOR FEBRUARY IS...
Spoiler
ERUTEPA! For a member who only joined ten months ago, Erutepa has quickly become such an integral part of the community. Already, Erutepa has accrued 12 days online and over 100 posts in VCE Biology board. If you count forum games, they've made an insane 437 posts this month!! Craziness!! But what we love is the blend of getting involved with in the fun stuff, while still finding time to provide answers to questions, and maintaining an awesome VCE journey journal.

Further to recognising our MotM, here are some of the other outstanding contributions to ATAR Notes this month. There's been a TONNE of guides written! If we missed anything, be sure to give a shout out below!!

Congratulations to both of you!

Avocadinq, I may not be New South Welsh but I do step over the line occasionally, and what I've seen is amazing, you've totally earned this. :))

Erutepa, well done. This has been a long time coming and honestly I thought you already WERE a MotM. Enjoy your fancy new birthday banner. Also, 0

Congrats, great work by the both of you!

437 posts in a month by Erutepa is ridiculous and avocadinq has already had such a great impact on the forums in the short time they have been active.

Thanks for the slick new blue banner, and thanks all for the congratulations on getting a slick new blue banner, however, I shall regift this praise – maybe chuck a different coloured wrapping paper on it - and hand it back to ya ;D. I really ought to give many Thanks to the great community of AN for being… well… so great (hey, Mr. Wordsmith here). I have invaluably improved expression and explaining skills through trying to answer question on the science boards (mainly bio), and I have had immense fun messing around on the game threads, but above all Is the simple interactions, in all their form, with the fantastic people of AN.
I’m looking forward to continuing to contribute the forums and being part of this wonderful community. (watch out, this month I’m looking to take that honorary mod title hehe)
Also, that 437 posts really just shows I spend toooooo much time on the count to 20 thread more than anything. ;D

P.S
congratulations to AVOCADINQ as well as all of the posters of the POTM!
