You read that correctly. Afterburner as a member of this EVGA community (Not that happy go lucky MOD weirdo ) (And oh yeah... I am talking in the third person ) Has issued an APB.......

The first member to Present to all of us in this thread... You ready? I said... Are you ready?????

.

The most BR Worthy post they have read in the month of September so far that has NOT gotten the BR it deserves.... Will also get a BR.

That's right. It is time to show all the new members and those that have forgotten exactly what a BR worthy post looks like. And since we as MODs can not see everything (Like that sick doll in Toy Story the movie) we need your help.... And to reward you for that effort, you will earn a BR.

A few ground rules....

1. I am bring this challenge to be for the better of the forums not for any bashing or analyzing. If you disagree with it, please feel free to PM me and not clutter up this thread.
2. The post must be a fairly detailed post without any hint of violating any of our TOS.
3. The post has had to of truly helped the person resolve the  issue.
4. Hot Deals, MODs Rigs and Post counts are not an option for this particular thread.
5. Please know I will deny the ones that do not qualify, but explain why (reasonably)
6. The post must be clear to everyone that it is actually BR worthy to win, but please feel free to post ones you're not clear about. After all that is the whole idea of this thread .
7. Your own post can WIN!!!
8. Anyone that already received a BR for a thread/post that was brought to our attention in this thread... Will only get the one BR from this point on (10-16-2010). No longer will the person who has received a BR in this thread for bring to our attention a person who deserves a BR in another thread.  New person presenting anyone deserving of a BR for the first time= BR for that person.
   1.  For clarity... If Afterburner posted in this thread a BR worthy suggestion on Delirious and it was awarded, Afterburner also got a BR for bring it to this thread. However if Afterburner finds another BR worthy thread and we award a BR to Delirious again, Afterburner will not get a second BR. Now... If Afterburner brings a BR worthy post for Tweaked and it is honored, then Afterburner will not get another BR in this thread either because he already has received one for Delirious....
   2. This is no not discourage BR's. The intent on this rule is simple. There is no way only five or six members offer BR worthy posts. What about the other Thousands?
9. All rules subject to change because Stone Cold Said So...

 
So BRING IT!

P.S. I am choosing to do this on my own. I had no outer or inner influence and no other MOD was injured in development of this experiment . I simply see to much confusion in regards to BR's and feel a lighthearted fun idea to spark things up into a positive direction is a good idea to try. So here is your chance to leave the ugliness behind and step up to the plate.

It's about time you're giving them for good reasons!

Double post. See below AB

It's about time you're giving them for good reasons!

FYI to all. This one most definitely DOES NOT qualify... MUHahahahahahaha... Here.. This is for you (Link)

This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close.. Only one Personal issue I have with it. He states quote "I also work on carpet and I don't have an anti-static bracelet."/quote....

See now that is cool! Very good... A little light for a BR on it's own merit, but those kinds of threads add up in our minds as MODs and can result in a BR later. This is why you may see one in a post just like it... Three or four of these in a small window of time if you catch my "wink wink".

It is all about helping, not arguing


And who said to stop? Can't you read the fine print????

Now to clarify.. I do realize that this is actually close to not being a BR simply because all Steve did was copy and paste the info. How ever he did go into more detail, and it did help the person. That said. Not all MODs would agree that this is BR worthy. If I did see htis again, I would not reward a BR.. Here is an example of that.... (Link)

Id like to abstain any posts people try to use of mine

Thank you for the kind consideration AB. I'm trying to show informative  posts but also reflect the helpful spirit of out members. 
I was looking for something Falcon did on ssd's, and came upon this instead. Seems to have helped several people and Falcon was involved a bit too. I know I learned something for the next build.

Is it possible for one to receive more than one BR on a thread??? I am still actively helping this member after MANY hours....sticking with assisting him until all is well with his system....shouldn't that count for something extra? EDIT: I could have just left him hanging after I got my BR...but, I'm not the kind to do that.

I think this post deserves a BR. It is incredibly helpful in it's simplicity, IMO

My recommendation would be to completely disassemble the cards, and use 90% Isopropyl alcohol and a clean tooth brush and scrub all the residue off.  Then take a blow dryer and thoroughly dry the entire card paying special attention to the gaps beneath caps and IC's.  Then let it completely dry for several days.

I have used this method several times and it has never failed me.  All of the water damaged parts are still functioning.

from THIS thread.

I wonder if anybody thought I helped anybody?
Im not looking to get a BR, Id just like to know if my knowledge is helping anybody, if not what can I do to help more :3
Nice thread here btw.

^^^ do more.

EDIT: I also do not think it should take 5 paragraphs worth of writing to be BR worthy.

This is a very good question. I remember this thread. Just so you know..... You may have received the BR in one of the earlier posts... But you Earned it by sticking it out, following through and helping the OP out.

Could you or a person earn more than one in a post? sure of course. But the spirit of the BR in not about giving one for every single good post. The spirit is rewarding those that kind of go above and beyond so to speak. Because it happens, and that needs to be recognized some how. Otherwise if we gave them out for simple things all the time... We do not have nor would have anything to give for those above and beyond post(s) like the ones you did there.

Once members become MODs.... Getting a BR almost never happens again. Even if we do get one I think Shane has to be the one to give it. And he is a lot like Mr. Scrooge with those ... But really to be a MOD we pretty much have been gong above and beyond for a while and frankly getting BR's was nice, but being able to help the community on a larger scale is reward enough

i had nightmares with BRs last night :P

Thanks for the nomination mssmith.  AB is right, once you become a mod, you almost completely give up the right to receive a BR.  You are expected to be technically knowledgeable, and to go above and beyond.  

So how has everybody been doing looking through the forums searching for BR Worthy Posts?

if you find them Post them here with the links ... we would like to see AB busi for a few hours

Actually, I earned the BR early too.......long before the "sticking it out" even started.....I feel that I have "gone above and beyond" and I will continue to do so....2nd BR or not. Thank you.

Falcon definitely deserves a blue ribbon for going above (giving his number and walking him through it) and beyond to help solve mrcairo's problem.

I normally wouldnt do this but I believe adam2013 and myself earned a blue ribbon in helping kaitounala solve his problem and giving a lot of good information. It ended up being a simple fix but I dont think we left a stone unturned in trying to solve it and trying to help him even after it was solved

I know jedi95 already got a blue ribbon for the program but I believe he deserves a lot more than 1 for all the work hes put in, the amount of people who can fold bc of his program and all the support he does for the people who use his program. He is an outstanding contributor to our efforts to pass the horde and thats why I believe he should get a bunch of blue ribbons because if the questions posted were new posts he would be up for a blue ribbon everytime with his answers


Woooo Whooo You popped your BR cherry!!!
