New approach for recognizing forum members
Beginning with today's recognition of member participation in the forums for February (see below), we are using a new approach that will take into account a slightly different set of factors. No method is ever going to be perfect, but we believe the new approach much more accurately measures the overall quality and value of member contributions. Please read this thread for more details.
