Wow it has been an interesting journey and fruitful mid-year, starter this year by ranking up from member rank to Full member (January) and now I just achieved the Hero member status (July). Sorry if you consider this type of posts not necessary but where I'm from, we were taught (in koffee's voice) that gratitude is a must & as I grew up with that mindset it has helped me alot even during difficult times as just a heartfelt thank you has given me more favors than I ever imagined. I remember when I was a full member needing around +/- 30 merits to rank up I recieved simultaneously merit from a source and out of joy I thanked him, the next day more sources awarded my quality post merits which ranked me up. Don't know if it was a mere coincidence or merit sources just doing their thing but still it was an experience that motivated me into putting in more effort into adding to my knowledge and contributing in the little way I could to interesting and quality discussion and so far my efforts has been rewarded.
I must say, you won't understand the work inwhich these sources (especially those with more responsibility due to the large number of monthly allocations) put into searching for merit worthy post as they have to read through bunch of spams just to find worthy posts, you won't understand their selfless act, volunteering their time to contribute to the affair of the forum until you experience it yourself. We don't appreciate these guys enough so i just wanted to let everyone part of the system that keeps the forum active, from the admin to moderators to recovery team to DT members to merit sources to quality campaign managers down to decent forum users, that your work is been appreciated and you should keep up the good work.
This was meant to be a self congratulating post but instead I want to congratulate all those that made this journey successful, thank you all especially my biggest merit fans. I'll continue contributing in the best way I can.
