Well done Roy on attaining the 100k points badge!

The YouView public forum/community went live on 20/9/2012. Roy wasn't there at the start but 6 weeks in and Roy had joined, and the forum has been the richer for his presence ever since (well bar a short few weeks period when he took a step back when understandably a little frustrated with the system :) ). Although he splits his time between the UK and Spain, hardly a day goes by without a number of contributions from Roy, with his mix of assistance to others, informative engagement in discussions and, of course, his unique wit :)

It is likely to be some time before we see another 100k points badge holder for this community, based on current trends I would expect only one other person to potentially get close any time in the next 3 years (and who knows where the product, competition, community, and community members will be then ;-) ).

Roy is definitely one of a kind, inimitable (to borrow an apt word from David Rowley (who was the CTO at Get Satisfaction until this month) over on the GetSat community) :)

    Well done my friend. Your points total was inimitable.

    Thank you, Keith, and Visionman

    Having been helped in the Community when my first YouView box was giving problems, I thought I should stick around and give back.

    I seem to have rather overachieved :-)

    For once (but only once) there is little more I can say...

    Good man, that Roy. Likes his Apple stuff a bit much, but none of us are perfect ;-)

    True, we aren't - but the Apple stuff damn nearly is :-)

    100k points is remarkable, but I fear unlikely to reach 1Mp with signs of disillusionment becoming increasingly apparent.

    Haha. Knew that would get a response, and witty as always :-)

    Well done Roy! As Keith said, this community is a much richer place with you here and your 100,000 points worth of contributions have been incredibly valuable to us and many customers, even the DBP's - Probably, I'm assuming, there's no way to really know :/  

    For anyone wondering, DBP is a Drive-By-Poster - masters of suspense. Roy loves a good acronym and I'm pretty sure this one was of his own invention or at least it was the first time I've seen it. 

    On behalf of the team here at YouView, I'd just like to say thanks for all your support :)
