Whilst I remain at pains to stress that DotOrg Bonus Points are just for fun and nothing more, I can't but help wonder if they can be put to good use. So, here's an idea if people are up for it:

Suggest something you'd like to see - the bounty - with a DotOrg Bonus Point value associated with it. First person to meet the bounty requirements gets the points. I don't want things to go overboard, so let's say we cap the bounty at 1000 points (the price of a doughnut from me if you recall :) )

It could be a tutorial on a specific move, or a dare to see someone capture a video of a interesting move, or anything else you can think of. I will add the stipulation that it should be of benefit to contact juggling in general, the site in particular, or just to bring a smile to the face of someone here. But some sort of cj theme is mandatory!

Before we go any further, I should add that this isn't set in stone. I don't want anyone to take DotOrg Bonus points seriously (I should also add, there's a limit to the number of doughnuts I can afford ;) ), so if anyone thinks this is a bad idea, or it can be improved somehow, let me know.

I love this idea Mark. It would certainly encourage more tutorials and more videos. As long as we didnt start taking it too seriously I think this could be a lot of fun and very motivating.

stings, doesn't it?
know why it stings?
'cause you take it too seriously.



Oh, on a side note.
20,000 points to Okotanpe left in a pink briefcase. (condition: He must come and join us for an Okotanpe Q&A thread here on http://www.contactjuggling.org to claim the briefcase)

Nice try, Oct, but you'll need someone else to post a bounty first.

(you can't receive points for a bounty you've posted yourself, in case that isn't obvious!)

Hehe that means I can do sneaky stuff. mwahaha lol

So, who is going to put in the first bounty? Is it you who is going to kick this off, iMark? Or would you like everyone to put in some suggestions for the first idea?

Oh no, not me! I'm going to wait a goodly while before deciding whether there's any merit to the bounty idea. It's up to you folks! Suggest ideas if you will.

I'll forgive Ryan for breaking the 1000 point cap. I just sent a message to Okotan Pe to let him know. :ahhh:

I like the idea of points for videos, tutorials, or maybe for the contests in the contest forum?
