Well, @abh12345, looks like the blockchain is still here, right where I left it. Thanks for your part in keeping it oiled, up and running. No hard fork, yet, I presume? Looks like I can still see the Steemit account (though more depleted), so I guess that means I'm still on the same chain. :)
Looks like I did move up the ranks, though not quite as high as I was aiming. These new scoring tweaks of yours, I must admit are harder to guess at. Regardless, it's obvious that more is in order if I wish to get back up into the top 3.
It sounds like the @curie sponsorship has run out. Sorry to hear that. With all of what they seem to be involved with, including their own contests, and where STEEM is, I suppose it's inevitable. Something has to give. Not that the engagement league was what needed to give, though. Something else would have been nice, but as has become a resurgent theme of late, and thankfully so, it is their stake, to do with what they will.
Your sponsoring the leagues, even though your own circumstances (for the moment) would be better served if someone else were at least pitching in, is noble and very cool of you. I trust you won't be putting yourself into a position where it's untenable, but always, if push comes to shove, do what you gotta do.
Thank you for taking this on, and continuing it, through thick and mostly thin.
Congratulations to all those in the top 10. It takes quite a bit of dedication to engagement to get there.
Onward and upward.
Hi Glen
We've had a few messages in-between this one, and they all look to be here on the same chain :)
Yes please don't worry about the sponsorship (I've just replied to an equally concerned janton). Progress is being made on funds, and as it's my thing, I really don't mind fueling the prizes.
The metric tweaks have been interesting to see in action, but the aim hasn't changed. Engagement - communication around the chain will hopefully still score the best.
