Answer 2

there was no info that it would be discontinued, and on the current awardee page was a gap before that eventually filled up (think was march or april 12 which took quite some time before showed it entries), so i am fairly certain its still around

Answer 3

 Yes There is no Update for MCC for the month of May and June on MCC web site https://www.microsoftcommunitycontributor.com/current-awardees.aspx

Answer 4

I've checked myself and don't see the update, but I don't think it's the indication that the award no longer exists.

If you have got questions about this, just ask.

In a perfect world,
users would never enter data in the wrong form,
files they choose to open would always exist
and code would never have bugs.

Answer 8

Hi Yagmoth555

Let me pay thanks to you for your email to MCC team but I could not understand what does this mean that "We are currently preparing for a new year of recognizing top contributors in the online communities as well as crafting some new changes to the offering."

Do the people need to wait until next year (2013) to get the reward for their online participation.

I put this question a while ago and I think Naomi response to my question that it is every month MCC award has been given to people who made notable contribution.

Can someone from Microsoft please answer the question?

Best Regards

Answer 9

@RoneBI: MCC started last year at June. My guess it's for restarting in new this year, but it seem to take more time than they expected. Like you tell, only a MS employee could let us know more for that.

They'll roll it out when they're ready. They're vague on purpose. Recently they moved to a "no nomination" process where they use their tools only and eliminated nominations. They say that the results (nominations versus tooling) was almost the exact same, so they're streamlining the process.

Thanks!

Answer from Microsoft Community Contributor:

"As we are in the midst of evolving the program, we will not be re-awarding until the new program details are released."

Answer 13

They'll roll it out when they're ready. They're vague on purpose.

That pretty much describes how microsoft operates.

I like it that they operate like that. Id rather have a finished product like the approach in the past "here's Windows ME. Its on time."

Really it's a clear sign of changing things that are not broken.
