de-lurk yourselves

***Andy*** · Apr-18-2005, 11:32 AM

we're giving away a one-year subscription to smugmug (basic account) to the best n00b contributor to dgrin. if you already have a smugmug account, i'll give an amazon gift certificate

so lurkers - de-lurk yourselves, and start posting and contributing. it's easy to contribute in shots - tell the poster how you feel, you don't have to feel obligated to do a full critique (although there's a sticky in the challenge thread on how to critique) ... if all you can muster is "nice shot" well, that's okay too. but you can also tell the photographer how the shot makes you feel ...

in the other forums, contribute if you can answer a question - or if you notice something on page 2 or 3, and no replies, give it a courtesy bump so that others who may know the answer, will see it!

the mods will make nomination and we'll give away the prize in a month - and if this program works, we'll keep it up

Andy, I think that is a swell idea. You always seem to come up with winners.

Congratulations on another great idea, ginger

Did I really say that

. I just decided to read what this "lurker" thing was all about, and there is a post, like that, so untypical, from me.

Must have my day to want to earn brownie points, not that you don't come up with great ideas, Andy. Of course you do. I personally liked the free dinner one.

What I have been wondering, this is just for newbies. What about the "oldies"?
First to reach? Best after 100,00 posts. Something like that?

A free trip to NY, London and San Fran??????

Now that is more me............you rock, Andy! (gotta keep that going)

It's probably too late to start lurking?

How about a prize for long time posters that go lurk for awhile

Nice idea Andy

Maybe we could post on forums that we don't usually post on. I could post on people, street scenes and, especially, sports. They won't even know who I am unless you all tell them.

I dunno, was I lurking? LOL I certainly fell off the face of the dgrin planet it seems like. but I have been busy, and it's actually photography related.

this is a good idea andy!

After all, I've only recently joined the dgrin scene. And, what constitutes noob at dgrin anyway? :-)

Just to clarify for those who are wondering?

Yet........
another fine mess you've gotten me into, Olie!!!!! Great idea, Andy!
