Honorable mention:
Our honorable mention this month goes to Steve from Hostirian.com.

 ”But this month is special in more than one way. I decided to break all the rules (or modify them as I go) because I could not just single out one particular member deserving of the award. I was actually impressed with 3 members. Steve-Hostirian had a strong start to the year, finishing the month #1 and sharing some great insight knowledge on the way, which makes Steve our first winner!

Two other members didn’t finish the month in the top 10, but as I’ve been saying since the beginning – this contest is about quality, not quantity. I did have too much of a good time reading these members’ posts, and it would be a real shame if they went unnoticed. Hence, it is my utmost pleasure to announce two other most valuable members of January 2010: csn-uk and ITEHosting.

Check out this month’s winners posts and you will immediately see why their contributions are being honored.”

Some of the topics Steve-Hostirian addressed in January were:

• Being Unforgettable
• Value of Confidence and Competency
• Are the search engines doing enough to combat click fraud?

“As much as Steve-Hostirian dominated the discussion (deservedly becoming the month’s winner once again) during the month of October 2009 (why is it not surprising? ), I was left very happy with the month’s results. Why? Because not only did we see some good posting coming from HD’s loyal contributing members such as IkY0294 and rumsfo, I also saw the roots of new competition getting through the door!

If we go back and review the essential idea behind this competition – it is to provide and share valuable information and be as helpful to other members as possible. At the end of each month we fairly celebrate and award one of its most active members. Sounds simple enough. However, on the grand scale of things, this competition also allows us to take note of members who participate in creating an incredible amount of new and refreshing knowledge. And that’s what making me so excited.”

From Hosting Discussion, “The month of September was indeed a very strange month for the contest with all new users finishing the month in the Top 10, except for Steve-Hostirian who held his reign as numbero uno. However, its a nice statistic and its great to see new faces joining and participating.

Steve was hard to beat this month, or even compare to. He was on a roll, and after two months Steve-Hostirian is back as a winner of the Most Valuable Member contest for the month of September 2009! Congrats, Steve, well deserved!”
