Dear MAP moderators, I have a suggestion. In the journal section is a top of the 'most watched journals'. This is cool, ofcourse. However, I believe it has reached a point were there list will remain the same for a simple reason: newer journals can never catch up to a +5000 views journal! So, dear MAP moderators, my suggestion is to, beside the original 'most watched list' make a new list titled: 'journal of the month (or week, or watever is posible for you moderators). This list should display journals that got the most views during a certain week/month/whateveryoulike. This way, new popular writers can recieve some merit. Not that I don't like the verterans, but you catch my drift, right?
Be sure to keep an eye out for an award for Best Journal ! http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?p=343204#post343204 As you can see I've dumped most of my entries and still they view them!....
Ok, the idea of a yearly awards is welcome ofcourse! But my suggestion was list of most watched journals per month/week. Is something like that possible? By the way, I would like to compliment all the moderators here. I understand that you are having a hard time right now. Don't worry, this forum is heavenly moderated compared to the Dutch aikikai forum that I visit.
There's an update to the Journal software we use due very soon. I think it addresses this issue pretty well. Watch this space!
