Does everyone know about the new ActiveRain?

Richard Weisser and Lynn B. Friedman Thanks for the mention.  Richard, It was so good talking with you this morning.

It's a great idea! I've wondered about a few people, wondered what ever happened to them...guess I should just call and find out. 

Sometimes they progress on to writing for thier own platform or Inman News.

All right, all right Richard Weisser, I'm here!  Lol!  I have been slowly getting back into the Rain and yes, I see many new and fun changes.  Besides, how can we stay away for any length of time.  We keep fresh, motivated and informed coming back regularly.  And the friendships that I have been blessed with, Priceless!

Great idea

Very good idea!  I did just that when we were having our MeetUp.  Sending them an e-mail, yet none responded!  That amazes me that they don't engage when I personally reach out to them. 

An awesome Idea. I think I will go take a look and see who I can find!

Hope it works out. Nice Idea but is really time related. Just now looking at Active Rain. Just one of those days.

I get when those under 30k of points drop off as they probably never experienced the benefits of ActiveRain. The ones that have over a million are the ones that I am facinated with. Obviously they loved the platform for many years. 

I love AR, but it's still sorta a secret....

A recent C.E. Class Instructor had it listed on his class slide, but when someone asked about it, he stammered and gave a completely wrong answer (shoulda just said he didn't "rememeber" and would check on it at break...).

Hi Richard - great post and we should all be reaching out to other members. I am enjoying the new changes on AR.

I like all the new posts each week that go over new features in a clean and concise manner.  They are informative for everyone new and for old timers that haven't been to the site in a while.  

Richard, what a great idea!  I have wondered about many people who have not been as active.  There have been some good changes over the last few months.

On a further note, I decided to check my subscribed blogs and many showed 3 years or more since there last posting. One in particular was Maureen McCabe who was 3 years from posting and had 2704 posts. I liked her gentle sarcasm but obviously she must be doing fine elsewhere.

hey there RICHARD WEISSER,

yeah I pretty much notice it, AR points are changing differently.

well, it's AR though, wecan't argue.

have a great day!

Richard Weisser, Yes indeed I to have noticed that. But I've also noticed something else rather interesting. As I continue to post, comment, tag others comments and grow I started playing a little game with myself. 

As I work my way up the AR ladder and daily enhance my standing and positioning I, just for the fun of it, click on the blog sites of the members of the many folks above me.

Much to my amazement I find so many that are very inactive or perhaps haven't even been active for sometime. Some even for a year or more. I'm thinking this may be a form of natural atrition to some extent. But that is good for those who are really working to improve their position with AR.

In fact, you've inspired fodder for another post and a much deserving re blog. Thanks for hitting this nerve this morning.

It is a bit of a treat going back and reading some of Active Rains best archives  like this one. Should be shared again.
