Announcing the ActiveRain Silver and Bronze medalists!

Brad Andersohn recently announced the ActiveRain Gold Medal winners for having the most points in their field.

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.

2010

Wow, that is a lot of points and a lot of work to get them Congratulations!

Hi Jim! WOW! What an excellent list to add to Brad's list! I subscribe to a good number of these folks too but, see a couple that I need to add to my list.

Congrats to your well-deserving winners!

Thanks for this--I know it took alot of work to pull this together!

Have a wonderful weekend...

I recognize most of the winners and I see that Russel made the list twice. Congrats to everyone and thank you for putiing the list together Jim, it is a lot of work!

I see a few familiar faces in there! I'm subscribed to several of them. And I didn't even know about this. Good for you, for posting this. They deserve the recognition!

Good job everyone! And congratulations =D

Jim,

An interesting list. I came from Lisa Hill's reblog. Interestingly, the reblog is showing the photos and text differently. It is much better organized in the original post, but it is simply changes because of the way reblogs handle it. I say that because Brad's post is the same way. I first saw the reblog and when I got to the original post, I was also surprised by it being nicer organized.

Good job

Jim you did an outstanding job with the Silver and Bronze medalists! I think many of them with persistence WILL make the Gold next time.

Jim, Thanks for putting together this list. I know it takes a long time and is appreciated by AR folks. Thanks again.

Cosmic Cow

I like your idea of showing off the underdogs also! Good job with the lists.

Hi Jim- Thanks for taking the time to recognize the work of these amazing contributors. We are blog subcribers of several. I agree that it's too bad that they were not recognized as well, with a point award. --Sara in San Antonio

Jim

Thanks for sharing the information, to my surprise my name was on the list.

Good luck and success.

Lou Ludwig

Hey, Celia - If I had know that you get 5,000 points just for being #1 at the end of the year, I would have worked seven days a week instead of just six. LOL

Hey, Debe - It took a lot longer to put together than I thought it would. I almost gave up about two hours through, but I had a little cat rooting me on!

Hey, Wanda - Russel was taking a catnap while I was working on this. He was impressed when he saw the final product.

Hey, Lisa - Thanks for stopping by. I found some new people that I will have to visit regularly.

Hey, Jon - I've never been happy with the way reblogs format themselves.

Hey, Dana - I think it would be interesting to see who actually got the most points in 2009, too, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Hey, Carra - It did take me a long time.

Hey, Irene - I like underdogs except when my favorite teams are playing. LOL

Hey, Sara - Maybe someone from ActiveRain will see the light.

Hey, Lou - I was not surprised when I saw your name since I find your blog to consistently be one of the most positive.

Hi, Jim. What happened to "Honorable Mention??" That would keep you busy 'till about April! LOL.

Good to see Russel in there!. I will never make the Hall of Fame. And, being so competitive, it's a shame. But, I have fun and learn a lot! Thanks for keeping us up to date!

That was fun........lots of familiar faces but some new ones too!

Hi Jim - This was a lot of hard work, and I know the silver and bronze award winners should appreciate the recognition - points or no points!

I missed the Gold Medals, so I really appreciate your work in finding the silver and bronze... and congratulations to that very prolific Russel Ray for placing twice :) AR has so many "neighborhoods" it's also great to see some names of people I haven't been reading in the places I usually go (in all my spare time!).

Jim - that is so great for you to do! I loved to see the runner ups - of course I'm missing :( didn't quite make it :) ~Rita

That's a long list of winners. Seems like commodities prices should keep moving higher. Congrats to the winners and thanks Jim for bringing this to our attention.

WTG to all the winners... Btw...if you are an on-site agent of a builder...are you considered a "real estate other" ??? What category am I in?

That's an impressive list, Jim. Thanks for thinking to highlight those runner-ups. What about up and comers?? ;-)

Congratulations to all of the winners.

Most of these Silver and Bronze are my favorites. 5000 points! The rich just keep getting richer! :>)

Jim, thanks for posting this - both for the winners and for spreading the word about the Awards! Time on AR the last few days has been minimal so I missed this. Thanks to your post, I didn't :)

What a terrific list to put together Jim and I'm glad you thought of it! Congratulations for all the Siver and Bronze winners!

Hi Jim ~ What a nifty idea to do this! So many of my favorite bloggers are featured here. Congratulations to all.

Liz

Jim - great idea, and believe me, I know how long it took you to put this list together...nice job. Consider it done!!
You've also given me a great idea about putting together an "ActiveRain Olympics" contest this year, thanks!! :-)

It's kind of fun to think of how many catagories I could go into and be #1... Alas... I'm not there yet.

WoW Jim... Great job putting this list together.... and getting the points to go with each of the winners !

Jim,

What a nice list giving kudos to so many who deserve them. I noticed Russel was on the list twice, a nice compliment to all the hard work he does.

Wow what an impressive list!

You showed us a lot of mettle when you gave out these medals to a very deserving group of 'Rainers. Thanks!

JAN

2010

Jim, OMG now we have points, then gold, silver, bronze with all these A type personalities we might have do a 1/2 in June for current front runners LOL... then announce in 2011... LOL nice blog

That's a lot of work, Jim! I wonder if anyone will continue this and do a Top 10 or Top 25 theme.

Hi Jim, I agree, these people absolutely deserve recognition also. Many of these people I recognized right away from having been a fan of their blogs.

Congratulations to all the winners! Silver & Bronze status is a great achievement too!!! That's a lot of blogging they did to earn that ranking.

I didn't see the Gold award winners... did anyone make it to 1million points???

What a great group of people! You did a really great job compiling this list of winners!

Wow! What a list! You did a great job here! Some of those names and faces, I am becoming VERY familiar with!!

Jim, great post and a great idea. I had no idea that there were so many categories represented in the Rain. Kudos on a great post as I could imagine how much work it took you to put this one together...

Helping you help others live their American dream...

My biggest surprise is the number of categories involved here on Active Rain. I agree with the comment above that a congratulations are in order for the work that was put into this post. The one commonality throughout everybody is a dedication to blog and passion for what they do.

Thanks for the list. Congratulations to all the winners.

I am still not on that list. May be we should do a top 50 per State? :)

What a great way to applaud those that, through their efforts, contribute so much to make the Rain what it is.

Congratulations to the winners. I'm so low on the totem pole right now, it's hard to imagine that I'll ever have that many points. But it's fun trying, posting and picking up interesting and useful info from others.

Jim,

How gracious of you to spend so much time recognizing our Silver and Bronze AR members!

WOW! Jim. You sure took some time putting this together for us. Thanks. I even got to make the list!

These folks, like the Gold Medalists, have worked hard adn it should be recognized. Thanks for taking the time.

Jim, this is just AWESOME. Thank you for bringing such attention to these well-deserving folks!!!! Now onto subscribe to the few I hadn't already been reading! Thank you!

Jim:

You did a great job, and the time you spent on getting this information collected goes without saying. I appreciate the info and want to send to all that were mention congratulations.

Phenomenal job, Jim - I can't imagine how much TIME it took for you to put this together. Congrats to all those recognized!

So who get's to write the honorable mention post?

I had to laugh while scrolling through the Gold Medal winners and saw who won the position of "Top Real Estate Other." There is no real category for her. But she's a gem.

Jim, well deserved feature...you took a ton of time to comprise this list. I have read most of them and subscribe so they are making their mark here in the rain.

Jim- Fantastic post. And kudos to Russel for being a double winner there!

Jim,

What a great idea. I was impressed with the first list by Brad. This is a wonderful follow-up. I've already been out to a few folks to subscribe.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

All the best, Michelle

Jim: I think this just proves that as in real life... the rich get richer. Good work... plus good timing.

I am pretty impressed with the activity of home stagers. For a non-Realtor careegory they seem to be the most engaged. Congratulations to the wealth of knowledge and help they bring us.

Something else to aspire to!

Jim - What a great way to promote all that is being done on AR! A much appreciated post!

This is a great list! Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Congratulations to all of these Silver and Bronze winners! Very much an inspiration!

Jim -

Thanks for the share - like you, however, unsure as to its value, and what it means!

In some categories, like Attorneys, and Inspectors, far fewer points are required to "make the top". Some of the bloggers here have had the good fortune of being around for several years, while those non Realtors have often had less tenure, or have blogged only sporadically over a longer time.

A few thousand points are of less value to those at the top - kind of like fining a professional athlete, who makes millions each year, $10,000 - not much of a thing to them.

Of course, I recognize most of those awarded. Some, however, got many points as "fill" - easy clip and paste posts with little real value. That concerns me, of course, and gets these folks little web enhancement value.

Nonetheless, however, it is valuable to reward those dillegnt who work hard here on AR!

Drop in or call anytime!

DEAN & DEAN'S TEAM CHICAGO

Nice post, and it must have taken a LOT of time putting together. Congrats on the feature.

Jim, hey! That's a whole lotta bloggers! Thanks for including my on the list, and I know how much work it is to include pictures!

When will we poor ole Manufactured Home guys ever get recognized? (LOL). I'm glad to see some of these other folks being recognized and appreciated for their achievements and contributions to the AR community. This is a very cohesive and friendly group of folks all coming together to help one another and it's great to ba a part of it.

Jim-what a nice thing to do! Looks like alot of work too-great job! Congrats to the winners!

Jim,

Thanks very much. I was pleased to come up with the bronze for commercial real estate agents. The silver and the gold appear to be gone for the time being to very good and worthy realtors in my category.

So, thanks for the mention. That was a lot of hard work on your part.

Brian

Jim, kudos to all in their fields.

Jim - So many points, so many medals...lol it's all good and very talented bunch of people in this list... Nice job

Wow Jim....you and the cool cat must have been up sor days compliling this great list. I had no idea of some of the categories. Under my rock again, I guess. Happy Sunday

Jim - what a time consuming post you made - for the benefit of AR members....and VERY well deserved feature! Looks like you given me a great "reading list" for the afternoon!

Dear Jim,

I loved this post. I too am always rooting for the underdog instead of the top dog. I noticed my favorite CA Home Inspector made the grade twice on yourlist. Way to go Russel!!

Betina

Jim...

I've been flashing my gold at BB. Interestingly enough, I can't a reaction from him. Makes the whole anticlimatic :)

On a more serious note, I'm pleased to see someone thought to dig a little deeper. Some of the stuff we find when we dig around AR is amazing. Congrats to all :)

TLW...ROAR!

Hi Jim-What a great honor to be among such a intelligent group of folks and thank you for the hard work you did putting this together. Happy 2010. <SMILE>

This was no nice of you to do this Jim! I appreciate your efforts for highlighting efforts of MORE than just the TOP! Blessings to you!

Thanks for getting this list out to us.

It's appreciated.

Patricia/Seacoast NH

There are so many great contributors on Activerain! Recognition is so important to everyone here on the rain and it has grown so BIG! Great job on highlighting the top contributors!

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.

Jim,

What an exciting post. Thank you for including me.

Jim- What a nice thing for you to do. I know how much time it takes to get all the research and then the links etc, done for a post like this. Thanks for paying it forward. Katerina

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!

Very nice of you Jim to put this together for us all, and how time consuming it must have been for you. Great idea!

Larry & Sheila

Jim, thanks for putting this together for Bronze & Silver! Lots of work on your part & each person deserves a heartfelt congrats!

Glad to see all of these others - they are the ones I generally see here on AR and there is a reason for that! Lots of hard work on their part...

Hopefully they'll benefit from the few points they'll get from our comments. That and knowing you took the time to showcase their efforts to all of us, thankyou.

Jim, great compilation! I appreciate your efforts.

Congrats to all of our medalists.

Jim - a great list and I see Brad picked up the challenge and is doing what you asked "Share The Glory"

Jim....I'm late to the party. Thanks a ton!!!! I see why so many people are better than me, but mostly, I'm so happy to have all these great people as resources. Some of them have really become important parts of my life. Thanks Jim.

Wow Jim, that was a lot of work to put together! I see a lot of my favorite people here. Thanks for compiling the list for us. I couldn't be in better company in the Virtual Assistant category than Sharon and Heather! They are great at what they do.

JAN

JIM:You are to be commended for al your hard work ind dedication to complete this awesome list of further AR achievers. Congratulations to all the silver and bronze bloggers who made your list. I see that Russel made it for 2 categories in #2 position. Bravo to all.

Jim, I had NO IDEA we had so many different categories blogging. I love the underdog also so thanks for sharing #2 and #3.

Wow! Serious bloggers! Thanks for the lists.
