Well, another great year at RF Generation has come to a close and we've seen some big changes and new editions to the website and a very nice increase in membership (Mad props to
MetalJesus and
Kotaku!
). But before we say "goodbye" to 2014, there are several people that the staff would like to thank for their hard work in the month of December. Thanks for taking some time during your busy holiday season to show a little love to our site! During the month of December, there were
2,060 total submissions to the database, which consisted of
1,743 game submissions and
317 hardware submissions. Top submitters for the month of December were:
Shadow Kisuragi 495
Apollo Boy 339
ae.tc 263
Sauza12 115Also taking the top spot for most approvals during the month of December was
Shadow Kisuragi with
641!!!
At this time, I would like to extend a personal "Thank You" to all of the guys on the writing staff who do a fantastic job of coming up with article topics and keeping our front page alive with game and hardware reviews, gaming history, theory, and other video game related subjects. The front page has come a long way this year and each of you have been a big part of that; I couldn't do it without you. Our current writing staff members are:
bombatomba
Crabmaster2000
Fleach
noiseredux
SirPsycho
slacker
wildbil52 As important as our front page is in attracting new members, our podcasts also reach out to listeners and on social media to help promote the site. Our longest standing podcast, the
Collectorcast, really gained steam in 2014 and now has a good following. A big thanks to members:
Duke.Togo,
Crabmaster2000, and
wildbil52 for your hard work and long hours of editing. 2014 also saw the melding of our site playthrough with the rise of another site podcast, the
RF Generation Playcast. Thanks to
Fleach,
GrayGhost81 and
techwizard for providing some great and interactive community enjoyment. We're looking forward to what's in store for 2015!
I would also be remiss, if I didn't mention and thank all of the members behind the scene who make this site tick. We went through a pretty difficult transition involving the database, which included some down time. Our own
bickman2k was instrumental in getting us back up and moving, and we can't thank him enough for his efforts! Without you and our league of coders, this site could not exist. Thank you!
And last but not least, I'd like to thank our Site Director and Jack-of-all-trades site guru,
Shadow Kisuragi. I'm sure that many of you have seen his handle pop up all around the site, but he does so much more than provide all of us with quirky video gaming related information and almost always lead in submissions and approvals. He's the guy that gets things done, or orchestrates getting them done, and solves any issues or problems you may have. He's the guy I go to for almost anything site-related, and he's always quick to respond and help me with my requests (which have been numerous since taking over as the Blog Editor....). Thank you so much Shadow for all you do in making this place feel like home for so many of us!
Thank you members for a fantastic 2014 and here's to creating more memories, gaming feats, and super small scores in 2015!

so how many submissions did i have? 
|
|
@Confiusion: You had 58 in the month of December, which was the next highest on the list! We really appreciate the submissions.  We always post these Thank Yous for the previous month and list members who have at least 100 submissions. That has always been our rule of thumb. Looks like you will have no problem being recognized for the January list. AWESOME!
If you ever want to check on your submission stats, just click on the "About" tab and then the "Site Statistics" drop down. From there, select "Top Submitters" in the drop down box and on the next screen, select the month you want stats for. If you have submitted during that month, your name and number of submissions will appear on that page.

Congrats everyone, and thanks for the awesome write up and running the blog staff Banana!
|

@singlebanana: seems like i need to hold on submitting to win that race against Shadow
|
|
And huge thanks to Banana for stepping up as Blog Editor, his contribution to the playcast, helping organize and communicate a lot of the site's events and projects. You've done a lot around here in 2014 so don't forget to pat yourself on the back too. Plus you have to deal with my texts about pinball at all hours of the day

@singlebanana: Sweet! Never knew that was even there.
Thanks for being our EIC, 'naner. And doing a ton of posts on the front page. And being on the Playcast. And rocking that sweet accent. And putting my presents underneath the tree. And...

Thanks guys. I was going to put my name in the podcast group, but it sounded odd patting myself on the back. I love this community and I'm happy to do it.
|
|
And Thanks to you Mr. Singlebanana for making the blogs active and lively again!
It was something I always wanted for the site, but couldn't get it stay active for more than a couple weeks at a time. So congrats and thanks for getting so many awesome writers together in an orderly and productive fashion. I look forward to a full year of a fresh front pages!
