On the 'Dancing with the Stars' model, I'm throwing my audience vote behind Darcy just in case she falls a little short with the judges. (As If!)

Darcy, I'm sorry to ask a question that has likely already been answered, but what's with the Wii?

Are you saving your tips for a Wii?

Again, I apologize for asking what is likely a redundant question but I really am interested and the search didn't return any useful results.

Test? Are you serious? What test would you need for Darcy?
M: Hi
D: Hi
M: Whats your name?
D: Darcy Logan
M: You pass! Thanks for all the hard work!

Well deserved! In fact its probably an insult to Darcy to make her a black belt. You should make you Grand Master or something more!

Way to go Darcy, you are helpful both on and off of Mahalo!

All the statistics that Jason mentioned don't even come close to showing your full impact on this site. For example I often see you commenting on people's answers providing extra humor and insight and then following up when people comment on your comment. It says a lot to have someone that doesn't just come here and answer questions and run away. Your added participation in the community is what makes you such an asset here.

I'm sure right now as you read this you are thinking of what to say in your comment ;)

When you finally get your Wii I hope I am invited for a Mahalo Mario Kart tournament of some sort.

Congratulations Darcy!!! You are now officially the Alpha Chimp :)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/AlphaChimp_congrats.jpg

Psst - I'm free this weekend if you're throwing a party!

On a side note, I just noticed that one of the factors taken into account here is how much of the tips you earned have been given back to the community. That makes me wonder if it's an important enough criteria in general, as I don't put any of my tips back.

The reason for this is not that I don't or can't do so, but that I simply haven't found any question that I want to ask, for which I can't look up the answer myself or a comment worth tipping here. Does that make it a hindrance to my getting past the various belt levels?

Just a thought to see what the community feels on this!

Note: As anyone can see, I haven't taken a payout for the Mahalo $'s earned, as that's not the reason I'm here.
