   You know, it would be nice once in a while if a thanks went out to the volunteers over at the wordpress.com forums.

   Just sayin’…

     That’s a great idea! I don’t have the connections around there that I do with the WordPress support forums, but I’ll ask a few friends and see what I can come up with.

       James, thanks. It just seems like the volunteers over there get little real recognition for the job they do. For me, a thank you isn’t necessary as I don’t do it for that reason, but the volunteers at the .COM forum have made it one of the best forums around giving quick and accurate responses and finding workarounds for the limitations there.

       I’m sure staff is grateful for their contributions, but it certainly seems they are sort of forgotten.

   I am always amazed at the amount of time people will put in helping others on the forums and posts. Half of what I know regarding all web technologies comes from people like this. Now that I am at least a novice I enjoy helping some of the newbs in the forums but I still have no where near the dedication that these volunteers do. Congrats to all, your why the open source community is so friggen awesome!

   James, thank you for taking the time to compile all this. It’s really cool to be a part of the WordPress community

   Yeah these guys help a lot on WP forums. How about a similar post for bbPress forums? Volunteering there without any hope or scope is gutsy. lolz. And this way my name should crop up too

     Another great idea, thanks! I’ll have to track down a few connections.

   Thanks very much for the nod! I learned pretty much everything I know about the web out of necessity. I’ve been running my WP site since the early 2.x version, and I broke my site so many times. I’m one of those guys that hates asking for help…. so the codex, and google were my best friends. I did handcoded sites, Drupal, Joomla, SMF, etc, etc…. WP was what I was able to really learn with…. it just somehow made sense to me

     You’re welcome! WordPress wouldn’t be nearly as easy to use without people like you volunteering their time in the support forums.

   Wow, fantastic? How to achieve that? I’m just start contributing in the forum, I think it’s still a long way to go

     Basically, you have to be nominated by the mailing list, active within a month of the nomination period, and then rank in the top 15 of the other nominees when counting the total number of topics you participated in since joining the forums. As long as you keep volunteering like you are now, I have no doubt that you’ll be in next year’s all-star highlight.

     Thanks, Matt! Of course, there wouldn’t be a WordPress to support without you.
