New Member Scavenger Hunt - May 2013
« on: May 08, 2013, 07:49 pm »
Hi All! I thought we'd try a little something to get the newer folks talking and to get them a little more familiar with how this site works. So this is the first new member scavenger hunt. I'm thinking that new hunts will be posted each month but we shall see.

How it works:
I will post something for you to search for.
Reply with a link to the post or topic that I'm talking about and, if you choose, an explanation of why you chose it.  Your link may be deactivated if you're very very new. That's OK.
Replies must use proper grammar.
All hunts will be things that you can find within SMNetwork.
Only members who have registered within the past month are allowed to reply.

The prize:
The first new member who provides a valid and grammatically correct answer will have their post count artificially increased to 5. This means they will be allowed to post to all boards (including Homework Help) without moderator review.
If you've already made at least 5 posts, you get street cred. :)

The first hunt:
Find the oldest mention on SMNetwork of the AEA Showcase Code.

I've found two possible answers.

First mentioned: http://smnetwork.org/forum/stage-management-plays-musicals/job-description-laundry!!!/msg11018/#msg11018

First thread about: http://smnetwork.org/forum/the-hardline/staged-reading-aea-day-off/msg30030/#msg30030

Hope this counts! Definitely a fun way to get to know the site better  :)

Congrats, you nailed it! One post count boost coming right up! Thanks for playing, and welcome to SMNet!

We'll have another contest in June. In the meantime, if the newbies want to continue the game by posting their personal favorite discussions about the AEA Showcase Code feel free to do so.

I loved reading those older threads, after Sarah found them, of course.  Wow, we've been at this a long time, haven't we?

Indeed, Ruth.

Based on the size of the messages database table, if you were to print out all of our conversations - just the text, no attachments or forms - the site would take up 15,000 pages. That's about a 30 volume encyclopedia.

And yet we still find more stuff to discuss. Either we really like to talk or this job is far more complex than most people realize.

Or both.
