| 572701 | 2007-07-25 20:22:00 | I notice sometimes while researching a problem for a user in this forum, that occassionally you come across someone in another forum with MVP after their nick (or name). I know godfather in this forum also has those 3 letters in his siggie. I also notice these MVP's have some valuable tricks up their sleeve, that will usually help out when it seems noone else is able to What is an MVP, how does one become an MVP, at what cost? I did try looking it up, but my browser froze on the page (probably because Im not using IE, but then I run Linux and don't really want to install IE via WINE. |

The return from most search engines should be similar to Google's and include enough of an answer without having to go further. "Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who are awarded for voluntarily sharing their ..." Some even seem to maintain their independence not spouting the MS party line at every instance :) |

| 572704 | 2007-07-25 21:23:00 | What is an MVP, how does one become an MVP, at what cost? All you want to know here (mvp.support.microsoft.com). Basically you are invited to become an MVP after being recognised as being very knowledgable with Microsoft products and this recognition is usually from the amount of voluntary help provided on computer forums as Godfather does. People are usually awarded after peers have submitted your name for consideration or from Microsoft noticing your contributions. Those with an MVP are highly deserving of the award. It costs nothing to yourself except your time which, as said previously, is entirely voluntary but the perks are rather generous. ;) |

| 572708 | 2007-07-26 06:16:00 | Yes, Godfather has been unfaithful to us and spends time and does a lot of work on a different forum . :eek: Certainly a high honour to receive . Of those that agreed to have their details published on the MS MVP website, only two are from NZ . :) |
