2022: 700,000 Page Challenge
Yikes!! Have you been hitting the Christmas sherry, Chad?
Hahaha! I think we can up it, John. This year proved that simply reminding members via an email that this challenge exists, and is easy to participate in, tossed us far over the line.
I agree Chad, Lesle's message gave us the boost we needed to get over the line, and it's also been great that it encouraged involvement from members who'd maybe not posted very much previously.And Brian had also posted recently about being competitive, and upping his Goodreads challenge target each year....so, what do the Moderators think - what should our ambitions be in '23??
