We have our latest and greatest Forum MVP Winners here to announce. Twice per year we award MVP prizes to those users who contribute the most to our forums, based on the points they earn as you vote on their posts throughout the year. Our forums continue to be the most popular community tool for discussing, sharing, and helping one other to get the most from ArcGIS, as we have over 15,000 active users, 22,000 new threads and over 40,000 posts per year. What helps us to be so successful though, is you, our users. We like to recognize those that put in the time and effort to continue making our forums thrive!
We have some new MVP badges in our list!* Welcome to the team, folks! MVP badges do not need to be renewed. Once an MVP, always an MVP. We also give them additional tools like the ability to move a thread from one forum to the other in order to give your questions a better chance of being answered. They can also mark an answer as being the best one by clicking the green check mark. See more about the MVP Program here.
Not only are the MVPs badged so you can find them, but they’re also eligible for prizes like software, books, training courses, and conference seats as a collective ‘thank you’ from us for all of their great effort. First we have our top three Annual Esri MVP Forums users who are being awarded from May 2012 – April 2013:
