Runboard Official Notification.
The RDS Validation Stamp--Log in or sign up to see linked image content--Official Runboard Communication
Hello I'm Erika from Runboard Staff.
Your board has been "Discovered" and is entered in the RunSearch Weekly Competition hosted by RunBoard. Top finishers in this contest go on to compete in the Board of the Month competition and could finally find themselves entered in the Board of the Year where 100,000 Free Premium Page Views are the ultimate reward.
If you frequent the boards with multiple screen names, choose one name to vote with as duplicate votes will disqualify you.
You must be a member of the Runboard Directory to vote. Membership is granted after you post once, then you can vote. You are allowed to ask people who are not members of your board to vote, but please be aware of the rules at the individual boards you campaign at.
If you are not familiar with the Discovery Series and how it works please look here: ]RunSearch Discovery Series ~ How it Works
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask and we’ll gladly explain.
Best of Luck to your Board.
1) Click the following link ] Here
2) You need to make a post on the thread you see, a 'Hi' is enough more if you wish.
3) Then when you are a member you will be able to Vote!
Please remember, in this 1st round you can select and vote for up to three boards before you click on the vote button.
Fixed the link.

Re: Runboard Official Notification.
And it ended in a tie. At 16 votes. We only made it because of our size and larger activity. I'm ... stunned.
And both boards will be in the Board of the Month contest. I forsee a huge scrambling for votes.

Re: Runboard Official Notification.
Wow, that's crazy large vote numbers for a week contest,
Still, I'm rather glad we managed to get through, it would have been disappointing not to have with our early lead and all being so large.

Re: Runboard Official Notification.
Many Congratulations on coming First in the Poll with 16 Votes. Your board is now on display in at the top of the ]Runboard Directory For a whole week. We will see you in the June RunSearch SmackDown Competition. Great Result.
Did you know the RunSearch RDS BotW winner is also promoted to the Runboard community via the ]Wall of Honor, on other boards that host the Board of the Week like you see at the top of the Directory and on boards that host the #post93]Runboard Popular Sites show?
It is our way of saying thank you to the people and board owners that make a BotW winner a special place to visit.

Re: Runboard Official Notification.
I wonder what it was at the end that they used to determine the final winners. Some kind of activity measuring system or some such?

Yes, if all other things are equal then a mathematical formula is used to determine the relative activity of a board since it was created. I test and fine-tune the formula once a year, usually in September, against the 10 largest message boards in the world and against a random selection of twenty message boards that are remotely hosted, 4 each from five different message board providers. I started out doing it by hand, then I went to a spreadsheet, that I still keep up to date as a backup, then Lesigner Girl created a small ]RDS AI Ranking Web Page where all I have to do is enter the requested data and the AI for the board is displayed.

Guess it's just as well that we're a fairly active board then.
