I am humbled by those words Dave, my role in that act is very small one, it's your interest to help newbies led me to suggest that curation league creation and as people are exploring about that and appreciating that, it's something which is done for a good cause and as we can see, it's paying rewards to many newbies.
If I would have alone voted on the posts having #newbieresteemday tag, the author would have got a 0.02 or 0.03 worth vote(Of-course, others would have voted), but with this curation trail, the combined vote is more than 10 times of my vote value and that has to be something exciting, right?
Now @abh12345 has given positive signal and his one line of comment on that trail will bring more people to the trail than what me and you have done because of the follower base he has.
So, I feel, all such small small acts will lead us to a bigger reward for the newbies if we maintain the trail for the main cause we created that for.
Once again kudos to all the team members for making it this big.
I agree on your point about the value of the curation trail as it comes to helping the newbies... A 0.02 or 0.03 vote is good, but when it gets into double digits they definitely notice... It is the single biggest (one thing) that we have done to grow our base. After we got that account set up, I have seen tons of new people using our hashtag and trying to vie for that "top 10" post of the day.
As far as Asher (I hate to tag too much)... I agree when he thinks its appropriate he can do many awesome things. As for keeping the purpose of that account solely for its intended purpose, I completely agree with you. I think it important for not only the newbies that get that excitement, but also for the ones that use their trailed vote to make that impact. We are in complete agreement and again I love your guidance!
And while I'm excited at how well we've done as a group (you and Asher included), I still look at the future and see that we have many more things to do. Its an exciting time and I truly love every day spent here!
ps... lots of stuff on the drawing board too... I like to button up the things we've started before we get spread too thin... but there are at least 5 new projects on the drawing board and I am in the process of team building as you are witnessing. ;) (thanks again for everything @coolguy123) and I think I've caught up since I always reply to you last (to save me from doubling up...lol :D
