Good Day All!
After some reflections and coordination, it has been decided to revamp the Weekly Fun Question (WFQ) process to try and make it more entertaining and to encourage more participation.
Effective immediately, a member who correctly respond to the WFQ on three (3) different occasions will have his/her entry fee paid to become a VIP member. The "count" is retroactive so if you were a previous winner, your previous correct response(s) will also be considered toward the "three" correct responses.
While VIP members may also respond to the question (for bragging rights), they are NOT in competition with regular members for the WFQ award. The Periodic Fun Question (PFQ), where monetary and other awards will be given for the correct response, will henceforth ONLY be posted on the VIP Forum which means ONLY VIP members will be eligible for that award.
To ensure fairness, the responses to the WFQ and the PFQ are to be sent via PM to Barry (rocketfoot) and myself (cobra3073). The first member whose received response is deemed correct will be declared the "winner."
For the near term, I will continue to post the questions at approximately 7:00 PM (CST) on Saturday with the posting of the "winner" the following Monday at the same time (7:00 PM {CST}). I will make every effort to ensure the questions are relevant and will also provide source documentation when responses are contested. In some cases, the questions will come from information discussed and/or otherwise posted on the site.
Please keep in mind that this is an evolving situation as Staff and some VIP members are looking at a number of other initiatives to enhance member's positive experiences on the Site. We are open to additional suggestions and/or comments.
Thanks!
