Thanks dear...
and check out this not only upload of whitepaper will lead to score points.
Submitting an article/white paper, getting ratings on it 40 You could submit your article/white paper which would be available for other members to rate, you would get points when the other members of the contest rate your article (atleast 5 members need to rate for you to get the points, these 5 members need to be different from you!) End of the month Thursday, February 22, 2007 6:38 PM -
I knew it...u was planning some cozy ideas in ur mind... yaar u will be MSP just becoz of ur creativity...I am sure... but bad news for u becoz 40 points is not easy to score but u can downlad it and can score.Thursday, February 22, 2007 6:53 PM
-
But i think there will be only in case if we upload, and i also think if a white paper is not able to score the 40 points for its uploader than the downloader of the same whitepaper will also loose there points. Any comments...ShadowMan..Thursday, February 22, 2007 7:10 PM

Till date only 40.Friday, February 23, 2007 2:31 AM

I tried to click on that download multiple times, and also i blocked the popup that comes, so i kept clicking and clicking, and i earned about 1456+ points. But a sad thing is that, the points was only shown in the Table, and was not counted/totaled in the Total points that you get :( And after 3-4 days, all the download points was gone, only 40 was left ;(Friday, February 23, 2007 4:02 AM -
Feeling very sad for u ShadowMan.... Wait for whitepapers.

I agree about the fluctuations, I guess when you get closer to the top, competition gets tougher, may be there are people on the top with vast differences in their points, so for example to get from 10th rank to 9th rank its being tooo hard....Wednesday, February 21, 2007 4:11 AM

I couldn't stop my self from being the 50th response.
anyways we can help each other in getting more then 10K, once we have crossed that bearer, we can compete on our own.
work as a team to reach a high goal :) once there, use your own tactics to get to higher levels :)Thursday, February 22, 2007 6:51 PM -

I have no idea about the deletion about the announcements. I tried to view the old announcements at after about 350+ pages, there was still lot many *** there ;( may be the admins are slow in deleting, or may be the admins like you cause of your hardwork in the forums, so they put you 10 rank ahead ;)

Lecture on Status v/s Activeness in the forum : Part-I
Yes mate, we also need to have a good status int he form, generally people more active ni the forum have good status, but people can also mis-use it by posting junk things. But one needs to maintain the balance between the two.Saturday, February 24, 2007 6:06 PM -
Lecture on Status v/s Activeness in the forum : Part-II
one needs to be as active as be can and also maintain the status and the reputation that he has in the forum, so that whenever he posts people think the answers/comments that the gives in the post is genuine, and one can trust him, this will create a good imperssion about oneself in other forum members mind. Also give a satisfaction to members that they can trust upon someone, for their queries or comments.Saturday, February 24, 2007 6:09 PM -

hey yogesh,
it's nice idea to reach to the desired page by the technique that you have mentioned.
@ administrator
please correct the bugs. even if click on page 7 from the index, it still puts me on the 1st page.
Also, the thread should be shown in reverse order, latest answers first.
@all others
what you all say ????
Monday, February 26, 2007 4:32 AM -
Still there is no way to know how many pages a thread has :( can we do it by counting the nubmer of posts in a page ? is the number of posts constant in each page of a thread ?Monday, February 26, 2007 12:06 PM

there is no section in the list about the MSAPP points :( may be that is considered as offline event and we need to email the admins, about it to get the points ?Wednesday, February 28, 2007 5:30 PM -
Ya may be, Harshil have u forwarded an email to Admin. in this regard?Wednesday, February 28, 2007 7:20 PM

@Yogesh,
if you created an account of MSAPP after 25th Feb,then your points will not be updated. you will have to wait for the end of march.
But if you signed before that, then i guess its high time to email the admins about this thing. They are lazy admins, so email then asap so that they can look after the matter after 3-4 months, hehehehehe.Friday, March 9, 2007 8:04 AM -

No new features are being added and the competition is growing monotonous with announcements alone.. Atleast the quiz can be held every week...Tuesday, May 8, 2007 4:25 PM
