I&#8217;d like to get your thoughts on this folks.<\/p>\n<p>Criteria for being picked would be things like:<br \/>\n\u2022 Length of time as subscriber<br \/>\n\u2022 Activity on the blog (replies)<br \/>\n\u2022 Activity on the forums (replies and new threads)<br \/>\n\u2022 Gaming with me (the more often the better)<br \/>\n\u2022 Participating in contests<br \/>\n\u2022 Donating to the blog\/fundraiser etc.<br \/>\n\u2022 Having the homepage link in your bio on XBOX Live<\/p>\n<p>and anything else remarkable that promotes HFFL&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Any ONE of those gives you the opportunity to be picked. Even if you&#8217;ve not been a long time subscriber, you can still be picked. There are several here who never reply, then there are newer folks who reply quite often. I like participation. So that&#8217;s a bonus!<\/p>\n<p>This is NOT a popularity contest. This is something I want to do to recognize those who have been involved with HFFL in more than just a passive manner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10545\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm-600x447.jpg\" alt=\"2013-09-14 19.09.30_sm\" width=\"584\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm-600x447.jpg 600w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm-401x300.jpg 401w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><em>The attendees of the 2013 1st Annual HFFL LANstravaganza<a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013-09-14-19.09.30_sm.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The person picked would be given a series of questions that they can answer. Those will be mostly about how they came to HFFL and their Halo &#8216;career&#8217;. Nothing personal will be asked. I would like to have a picture or two to include in the Spotlight as well. This helps to show everyone who the person is behind the name as well as promote the HFFL community more by seeing faces.<\/p>\n<p>Let me know what you think folks.
