Before Allison left, she put me in charge of a super important task: the crowning of a new Superstar. I'm happy to announce that today, George H. Compton IV is receiving some long over-due recognition. While I may still be getting my feet wet in the Creators community, I was already familiar with George from drafting the biweekly Community Digests. His name was one I saw often, contributing many great tips and discussions weekly.
If you're not familiar with it, this is our way of saying thank you to the wonderful people who continue to make this community a vibrant one. Each Superstar gets the equivalent of a Ning Pro subscription for 3 months. It's a small way we can say thanks for the large amount of advice and time these folks have given to this community.
George started working on Ning Networks with FriendlyFaces, a site he and his friend Julia started to connect with friends and family. After coming to Creators and helping out Jim Kinson with Crossroads Fellowship, George stayed on in that community, helping the Kinsons on the administration and technical side of Crossroads Fellowship. George is ever humble and says he helps out fellow Creators because he believes this is where he's supposed to be right now. He's a frequent contributor of Ning 3.0 Tips and never hesitates to step in when he sees a Creator in need of help.
George has been a great reminder of what is important and should be celebrated in this community -- helping each other on the quest to cultivate thriving communities. His passion and uncompromising positivity is to be commended, as is his kindness and generosity of spirit.
Woohoo!!! Let's all give a round of applause to George, our newest Superstar. Feel free to paste in something ridiculous and fun, a memory of one of your favorite interactions with him, or a simple note of thanks.

Congrats George !!!!
At last my friend. It makes me happy to see all the congratulations George. I know I have mentioned to you before. To be blessed, you have to be a blessing. It took me a long time to understand that. I concur with Sister Solael's comment. You have been such a blessing to me. I see so many codes from others that you have fixed and made right and much more compact. I don't dare guess the hours you have spent on my networks and I and many of the members are so thankful.
God bless you my friend, Jim
Congratulations George
