We're looking for the few, the proud... the Gurus among us.
This week we're launching a brand new (and as far as I'm aware, unique) idea for creating discussion and assistance within our community. It's called the "Guru Project." Here's what it entails:
Nominations will be taken for outstanding members of our community. These are folks that you love to see posts from - the ones that are kind, helpful, and just fun to be around in general.
What sets these people apart is that they're passionate about something. Maybe it's Photography. Web Design. OSx86. If we've got an area of this forum dedicated to it, we want to help them channel that passion for the community.
If the nomination for a guru is accepted, their responsibility is to post as much good info as they can in order to help keep the community up-to-date with what's happening in their corner of the tech world. They'll also be available (along with the rest of the forum) to offer some help if someone needs assistance. If they love video creation, they'll post any great video creation tools, articles, or links that they come across. If they're an expert in one of the busier forums, like OSx86, their job will be to help sort information, make an FAQ, etc.
This will easily be the most prestigious position on our forum and one that will help the community a great deal (it also comes with some nice forum perks, like an unlimited PM box, etc). It's an honor that we won't give lightly. We'd like you to nominate those InsanelyMac-ers who have helped you along the way and who help keep things interesting.
As an example, let me introduce our first guru, lambsporriegetta. Since the beginning of March, lambsporriegetta has been updating a list in the Audio forum of the latest Universal audio plugins. He's also been quite helpful in other forums and has continued posting new and interesting material for months. He's one of those guys that I know by name and has earned my respect (the audio forum was his idea!). It's because he's shown a real interest in making InsanelyMac the best it can be that we confer our first title to him.
But there are many more out there who are just as deserving. We want to know who they are. PM me with your nominations and the staff will review them. If they're accepted, you'll know you've chosen wisely.
Thanks for joining us as we work to make InsanelyMac the greatest forum of its kind.
