I'm a big fan of persistency and consistency, but I'm also a fan of spreading the wealth around, rooting for the underdog, and watching the Olympics. Since the 2010 Winter Olympics are just a few weeks away, I thought it would be fun to look at the ActiveRain Silver and Bronze Medal winners for having the most points in their field. First, check out the ActiveRain Gold Medal winners, and then come back to read about, and visit, the ActiveRain Silver and Bronze Medal winners. While the ActiveRain Gold Medal winners were awarded 5,000 points (making it that much more difficult for others to catch up with them) I am, unfortunately, unable to provide any points to the ActiveRain Silver and Bronze Medal winners. How nice it would have been if they had been awarded, say, 2,500 points for silver and 1,000 points for bronze. Nevertheless, here they are. I believe they deserve just as much credit as the Gold Medal winners.

I just started with AR about 3 weeks ago and is on it daily, but it is going to take me a really long time to catch up with anyone of them. Rather I think it is better for me to focus on providing as much of my experience as possible. AR is really great.

Kudos for recognizing these people. I agree that once someone gets massive points it is nearly impossible to catch up so it may become a demotivator for some AR Newbies. Points are kind of luck money, the rich get richer a lot easier than the poor folk do.
If someone signs up tomorrow and they logged in every day (100 points) and posted a blog daily (250 points) and posted 10 comments @ 25 points (250 points) they would get 600 points a day that they controlled. Of course they will get some comments and hopefully a few features for bonuses. If they did that every day for a year, they would get 219000 points so it would take them four years to catch the lead people if the current leaders quite (no actually it would take longer since the current leaders are still raking in points from posts 2 years ago).
I personally don't care about the points though; I want people to read what I have to say, check out my profile and send me business. AR helping me get ranked on Google and other search engines is motiving me more than points!
