What is the Deadpost Intitiative?
The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlookeed during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.
Last week
The engagement this week was phenomenal, 83 comments, most of them pretty thoughtful. I'm glad to see this initiative slowly taking off. As I've mentioned, the goal is to be able to award $50+ in rewards every week and help most entries recieve at least $1.00 each in upvotes for submissions. In order to achieve this we need your continued support through upvotes, and hopefully this initiative will bring in the right kind of attention. You've all been great so far :-D
Once again there were a bunch of quality posts and it was hard to judge. I imagine it will only get more and more difficult as time goes by.
