Spiritual echo: Thank you for the head's up with the FS way. I have met many friends. Brooke would correct my commas until I got it. Then, I took her class of poetry and got a beat. I will wait to write anymore pieces and post them until 2015. I already have two waiting. Thanks for your tips. Merry Christmas! flylikeaneagle

Your explanations do a lot to clarify matters for newer members who don't yet know the ropes. I know that every year a lot of people seem shocked that the ratings have rolled over, so maybe if people read this, the surprise won't be as great for them. Your comments are sensible and useful, a good public service announcement :-) Brooke

    And really should have been written by Tom for the front page news, not dropped into the Forum--if that. Happy holidays.

A timely and well written post, Ingrid. You would think after the years I've been here I'd have known about the ranking beginning at ground-zero at the year's beginning. Does this mean the writer who starts FanStory in June has little chance of getting to the top of his ranking category? Seems to make sense to me.

I hope I was careful enough in my early morning reading, Ingrid. As I see it, though, this is without flaw!

Thanks for posting. Oh, and have Happy Holidays, Ingrid. I'll be seeing you around the corner.

    Flawless? I'm having a stroke! Unless that June member promotes heavily--not likely.

    Do know that I appreciate and respect all your suggestions and help.

    We here in Canada suspect we heard the tinkle of bells early, early this morning as the sleigh passed over on its way to the far east. ingrid

Thank you for all the information or should I say warnings.i checked with Tom and he confirmed that member cent pumps and dollars do roll over so there is one positive to look forward to.

    You're welcome. Did you think I was making it up--having to check?

    I checked with Tom a month ago concerning MEMBER CENT PUMPS AND DOLLARS and he said they would ROLL OVER. I do not think you mentioned those areas so I was letting you know. The rankings are cleared is what you wrote. Hope this clears it up

Thanks for the most informative post. I am finding although I have done a lot of reviewing the last week or so my reviewer numbers are getting worse not better. I don't really understand why that is the case. Patricia

    They numbers are only dropping because someone has done more than you and are moving ahead faster. Happy holidays.
