TL;DR; Describes joining Community Credit, earning recognition and prizes for tech contributions, and becoming a moderator after engaging with the site’s community and founder.

A few months ago I found a cool site called Community Credit . I did not understand the premise at first, but after seeing the prizes page, I thought, what the heak! Community Credit is the brain child of one David Silverlight, and yes, it is quite possible that “Silverlight” was named after him :). What is this wondrous site you may ask…Well, its part bragging, part recognition, and part prizes :)
I thought, “this is fantastic, getting prizes for what I am doing anyway”, and started posing all of the things I have been involved in to do with technology.
In my second month of posting I tore the cartilage in my knee (Ouch!) and so with nothing to occupy my tiny brain and noting that David was looking for moderators I emailed him to see if I fitted the bill. And I did!
David just posted a nice recognition blog about it…thanks David…what about some extra credit :)
