If you're going to get them anywhere, it will be over here on this list.
Even if not, Jim joining up with that one again isn't going to change that.
If the concern is that "ISA needs a community" then like I said before,
we've already got one. If it is "ISA MVP's need a community" (like,
exclusively) then it looks like you are the only one that thinks that, even
among the other ISA MVP's (even the one that you know).
To me, the REAL value of a true "community" comes from the bond being
interest and passion for the product itself, and not some arbitrary 3rd
party affiliation (like "MVP"). That's evident in the fate of that ISA-MVP
list. Hell, it even had other area MVP's in it (like me) but it still
sucked.
Technically, this list is superior to any other list out there - you can
still help perpetuate the ISA community, but it looks like the best way to
do that is to bag the ISA MVP list altogether unless you really think you
can repair the extensive damage its reputation suffered.
