Yes. The essays are how the committee chooses the honorees. How else would they be able to sort through and pick somebody? Plus, there are some lesser-known people that deserve this greatly, and not everybody knows their stories. The essays put everyone on at least semi-equal footing.

A little off topic:

Please no, anything but that! I totally love where the pictures are now. Now you dont have to scroll all the way down the page to see if there are any new ones. Why move them? Its not like the forum announcements really need that extra 3-4" on the side of the page.

Concerning the pictures .. I removed the date uploaded & who uploaded them. This info really isn't so important that it needs to take up space on the portal. So, I've just left the image and the title. Hopefully that cleans it up a little better.

Thanks guys, all of your suggestions are being considered. Keep it coming.

generalbrando brought up in Chris Hibner's UFH thread that the summaries are getting a little repetitive.

I'd love some suggestions!

In my opinion, that is true. They are all "FIRST is great when I first entered [enter compitition name] [comp. type]".

Keep it how it is. Why? Just keep it. I mean, it works now, it's not broken, so don't fix it. CD is a place where FIRST is recognized, and even if they arn't 'registered' on the forums, they should be celebrated.

Umm....what are you talking about?

I'm serious on this question.

Any idea when the next UFH will be posted? Its already November 3rd and yet no new Hero. :confused:


*waits anxiously*

UFH was a great idea, and I was thrilled to see it :).

I think this is a good idea. It has structure and it makes it more obvious to those who may not already know the UFH to learn about them.

Maybe you might want to change your paragraph structure a little bit. less "so and so did this" followed by the next paragraph saying "so and so did this" if possible maybe you want to say "this happened because of/with help from so and so" just a little sentence structure would make it more interesting to read.

Soon.

They are just waiting on a picture. :)
No big deal... within the week I'm sure.

yay!

( i know, waste of a post, but i was too excited NOT to say something)

I know that things are crazy with the end of the semester coming and CD being completely torn apart and rebuilt (GO BRANDON!), but I was wondering if there's a UFH coming for the first half of this month?

Re: UFH Comments, Suggestions, Etc.
 

I think (correct me if I'm wrong, Indi-Amandas) that UFH is on hold until January.

Re: UFH Comments, Suggestions, Etc.
 

The Unsung FIRST Heroes has been postponed to January. We will begin the new year with yet another well-deserving, underappreciated individual. *wink*
