    [​IMG] In light of the fact that a few members of the SP community deserve special attention, I have created a new BoM status called Member of the Week. (Click here for the FAQ entry.)

    All Members of the Week will be listed in this thread, where you can discuss their contribution. (Unfortunately I cannot make everyone who did something to deserve this title in the past a MoTW now, so MoTW status will be awarded only for contributions to SP from today onward.)

    Sorvo's generous donation will cover almost a full month of SP's server hosting bill. Thank you Sorvo!

    Member of the Week #35 is Beren (3.4.-10.4.06).

    Considering Beren hasn't been put into the spotlight here before (despite more than earning the honour), this is a kind of life-time achievement award. Only he's not that old yet, so maybe a better term would be to-date achievement reward. Beren has been doing a great job on the moderating front here for years, as well as supplying SP with a steady stream of excellent exclusive game guides, which are among the most popular content on SP. Thank you Beren!

    Member of the Week #36 is Sir Belisarius (29.4.-5.5.06).

    Though Bel doesn't come around as much as he used to any more (and after nearly 6 years, that's hardly surprising), he's been a prominent SP figure pretty much from the start. Years back he's also taken upon himself the duty of SP's PayPal account manager and helping me out with various site-related financial transactions, earning my trust and utmost respect over the years. Though his contributions are usually going on behind the scenes (in addition to several donations over the years), they are extremely important for the smooth operation of SP. Thank you Sir Belisarius!

    Member of the Week #37 is Nakia (12.5.-19.5.06).

    Nakia's generous donation covers nearly a third of the required sum for the server hardware & software upgrade. Thank you Nakia!

    Member of the Week #38 is DarkStrider (20.5.-27.5.06).

    DarkStrider's generous donation covers nearly a third of the required sum for the server hardware & software upgrade. Thank you DarkStrider!

    Member of the Week #39 is Splunge (28.5.-3.6.06).

    Splunge's generous donation will cover more than a half of SP's hosting costs for this month. Thank you Splunge!

    Member of the Week #40 is Nakia (13.12.-20.12.06).

    Nakia's extremely generous donation will cover 5 weeks' worth of SP server's hosting bills. Thank you Nakia!

    Member of the Week #41 is Arahar (9.3.-16.3.07).

    Arahar's very generous donation will cover 5 weeks' worth of SP server's hosting bills. Thank you Arahar!

    Member of the Week #42 is Montresor (30.4.-7.5.07).

    Montresor's generous donation will cover more than a half of SP's hosting costs for this month. Thank you Montresor!

    Member of the Week #43 is Mollusken (8.5.-15.5.07).

    Mollusken's generous donation will cover more than a half of SP's hosting costs for this month. Thank you Mollusken!

    Nakia's generous donation will cover more than a half of SP's hosting costs for this month. Thank you Nakia!

    You wish. :p

    No, your title lasts for a week and then someone else gets the chance to prove themselves. Frankly, considering the high standard for the MoTW title I don't expect we'll have more than one or two every month, if that. But still, those who will get it definitely have something to be proud about.

    Wow! Sorvo,

    My hat is off to you. to cover S.P. for a month is a hefty donation. Thanks man.
    I personally have just started making small monthly donations to S.P. I thought that maybe I was alone in this endeavor, but no, Sorvo the Great has stepped up and hit a home run.

    Dude you're almost as cool as Tal ;)

    S.P. Rocks!

    Drat. All I ever do is post very odd polls and respond to odd topics. 'Odd' won't get you the Member of the Week.

    But as to Sorvo's achievement...

    Oooooh! Aaaaaah! (takes about a million pictures.)

    Thank you. That was my impression of a group of tourists. Good job, man!
