Can you believe we’re already closing out the first month of 2026? Time flies when the community is this active! But before we flip the calendar to February, we wanted to pause and recognize the heart of this community. While every one of you contributes to the fabric of this group, three individuals truly embodied the spirit of "giving back" throughout 2025. 

Please join us in celebrating our 2025 Members of the Year:

We are incredibly lucky to have you with us, and we thank you for your continued dedication to this space.

 


 

🛠️ A Glimpse into the Workshop...

For those wondering what we have in store for 2026, we have been busy behind the scenes building something special. Inspired by the dedication of our members, we are developing a brand-new gamified experience designed to celebrate everyone’s journey.

Here’s a teaser of what we’ve been building:

  • Custom Badges
  • Clear milestones to help you level up from a newcomer to a community royalty.

We are currently putting the finishing touches on these mechanics to ensure your contributions are recognized as they happen.

Happy New Year, and let’s keep building something great together

Can I be honest?  No-one cares about game-ification of this community, we come here to seek or offer help, we are business professionals. We would rather see development time spent on improving the product.

We completely hear you. This isn't about adding games for the sake of it. We are building this to make it easier for you to navigate the community and find the experts you need quickly.

Our main focus remains on the product development you care about. These updates are simply meant to better recognize the professional expertise you and your peers bring to the table every day. 😊

If you are looking for more direct product insights and deep dives, we would love to have you attend our RingCX and RingEX Unlocked Webinars. We will make sure the community experience stays helpful and focused on your work.

@Nathan1615078064 

I really appreciate the honesty here. Seriously—thank you for saying that.

You’re absolutely right. At its core, this is a Q&A forum. You’re here to get a job done, solve a problem, or help someone else do the same. You aren’t here to "play a game," and we haven't forgotten that we're talking to busy professionals.

The "Why" behind the badges: Our biggest challenge is ensuring that when you have a high-level technical question, there’s an expert there to answer it. To keep those experts coming back and sharing their knowledge for free, we’re trying to find ways to value their time and highlight their authority.

Our commitment to you:

  • The Goal: We want this to be the most efficient place in the ecosystem to find a solution.

  • Transparency: We know there’s a fine line between "helpful recognition" and "distraction." We’re working hard to make sure we stay on the right side of that line.

  • Product First: Your point about product development is heard loud and clear. The community team and the product team are separate tracks, but the ultimate goal for both is a better experience for you.

We’re committed to making this a place that respects your time while providing the expertise you need. Thanks for keeping us grounded—it’s the only way we’ll actually build something useful.
