OK, here's how I see it. It's a good idea to change the members of the A group. Everybody deserves a chance. My personal problem (and zippo's) is that from time to time I'm stuck on really, really, really smallband. Surfing sucks big time then. However, if I get one week (i.e. 7 days) then I will be able to write about five reviews... no problem and with pleasure! So a weekly evaluation is ok IMO.

I also understand that many people don't have a lot of spare time to spend on the net (like e.g. students during exams). Perhaps it would be possible to grant them membership to the A group on the basis of special efforts (during that week). Posting a video, exclusive stuff, new logo's... that sort of thing. They would have to file a request and TT and Jabba can decide autonomously if membership to the group is justified for that week or possibly for a specific video that they really want :idea: . I don't think anyone doubts your righteousness for that matter. Just leave a small door open because I appreciate these people's efforts a lot and I believe that they deserve something in return...

IMO this new rule is nice idea.. 5 reviews per week is fine.. Maybe I will be group B member because of havin problems with internet connection+some hardware problem.. I like this rule because of keepin this group elite.. I`m happy that I can be a group A member again after I solve my problems..
Finally its a nice idea for keepin this group elite users..

I did have a very hard time with this new rule for that very reason...as I felt I was kicking everyone in the balls that has worked so hard on JW to get it to where it is today...if there was a practicle way to do as you suggest we would be doing it....

I can confirm that I will try and help anyone that has fallen out of group "A" for technical reasons with any videos that they would like to see....and in fact I have just helped out st-anger on this very issue...

^Jabba I agree that some individuals have huge input and therefore should have some protection of their status in the site.. in case we lose them and their future contributions ... :roll:

hey TT, you know the table you're making with who reviewed what. could you actually post that up, make it a sticky but only you could edit that post? so at the end of each week you put up a new table.

if we can't get an automated system at least put that up, i've got so much in my mind i've already lost track with what i have written even tho its been only 2 videos.

I dont think I should have to post a review of the TVR special because I provided that. Also I did a review of Top Gear Episode 1 and its not listed. I have 2 more that I have to review. The thing is is that I dont download every vid. I think as long as we write reviews on the ones we download then we should remain in the A group as long as they are good.

stracing, I'm updating the table day by day obviously, and the idea was to post it every Sunday, with the final "results"... maybe I can post a mid week update (for the previous week)
And Skyline, obviously you TG1 review is already in the update table, when I posted that one, you still didn't post it

I know I didn't review a lot then, but it's because I've no internet connection at home so I'm able to download/review the vids once or twice a week!I know it's no excuse but I don't have the choice.. So I'll understand if I get to group b but don't think it's idleness or leech
