Is there any way I can permanent sticky this thread to the top of this forum instead of it cycling through the stickied posts?

Mark this thread as a permanent announcement?

Heh.. I was a TheHelper.net poster before I became an MVP.

If you want I can contribute to this somehow, I've only been an MVP for a few years though.

Info on the current MVP program, and how you became a MVP. Also, about how you found TH.net and maybe some of that story too. It might not be interesting to you but it is interesting to us

I stubbed out the main Tom Mai link on the Story since his stuff is in the stories section. I am going to do my own thing on Tom since I think I know him pretty well posting news together for a number of years now

 

[The Helper]

Added FireCat and Siretu as a Potential Section Stubs with a high probability of being done soon.

 

[Daskunk]

Oh yeah. I showed the MVP-specific part of this to a recently added MVP, Leviathan. He thought it was interesting to read the history of the MVP program even though he never had anything to do with Thehelper.net.

Anyway I will write up something for this eventually. I will have to check in with the guys at Blizzard to see how many details I'm allowed to spill about the inner-workings of the MVP program currently.

 

[The Helper]

They have a bunch of information about it public I have been doing some research. I will be adding Moar to that section later.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Let's see if we can invite a few more MVPs and try to finish the research up with even more details, hopefully we get Blizzard's attention and actually get one of the employees to reply here.

I highly doubt that Tom Mai. We have not had a Blizzard forum lurker in a long time. Last one was our StarEdit mod back on the SitePowerUp forums before we got Vbulletin.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Since Daskunk said that he's going to check up with Blizzard, he might share this site with them. Who knows? There's a chance!

As I promised, I deliver.

Also, I am interested in the kc history and the real reason behind Ace's leaving. You guys really made a mystery out of it...

 

[The Helper]

NO EXCUSE! Backstory comes first, life can wait.

NO EXCUSE! Backstory comes first, life can wait.

No, life cannot wait.

Life can wait -> No conclusion to the story -> Story incomplete ->
