Oh Arian sweet Arian. We at the Mixxingbowl and other places around the web LOVE this girl. Arian is a great Mixxer and a joy to get to know. One of the sweetest people you will ever meet, and she will also school you in the fine arts of comic books and geek culture.  We have had her on Social Blend a few times and always enjoy her company. Arian currently holds the record for most replies in her introduction thread over in the Mixxingbowl forums.  I have got to take a personal stab at her right now as well. My dear Arian, the Bat Symbol never looked so good ;-). I shot some questions to Arian so those that don't know, can learn more about her. Where are you from? I was born in Maryland, USA, but I've lived back and forth between the States and the UK, and a few years ago I moved to Manchester, England with my two kids and permanently reside here. What do you do for a living? Not much.  I try to avoid leaving the house as much as possible. I've done web and graphic design in the past, been a techie, done network security, administration, medical records... What are your ...

No, no, not the real Brett Favre. This gorgeous lady is Mrs. Andrea Schultz from Wisconsin. Andrea has been using the Brett Favre handle on Mixx as her and her husband are big Green Bay Packer fans as you can tell from the above picture.  I have enjoyed the conversations and comments with Andrea on Mixx.com since she has joined. She always submits great content and comments. Her actions and community involvement on Mixx shot her to Super Mixxer status rather quickly, which is why I think we should all get to know more about her. Where are you from? I grew up outside a really small town in Northern Wisconsin, Wittenberg, population 1,101. I now live in a little bigger town about an hour south. I'm definitely a Wisconsin girl through and through! What do you do for a living? I work in search engine marketing.  Yeah I know, something social communities don’t care for.  But Mixx is something I do to keep the insanity in check.  Promotion of clients is something I steer away from.   Mixx is way too much fun for that. It's always interesting to watch the spammers on ...

What can someone say about Brad, except...this cat is all over the place.His interests seem to vary on Mixx and that's what makes him one of the most well rounded Super Mixxers around. From celebrity gossip to Vaginas with teeth you can find Brad0022 almost anywhere on Mixx.com.  So let's find out a little more about Brad, and what makes him tick... Where are you from? In Montgomery, Ala. and currently reside. Yes that Montgomery. The one where Luther Leonidas Hill, M. D. was the first surgeon to successfully suture the human heart in 1902. And some various other historic events  such as the DC Snipers, they tried to rob a liquor store here. Oh yea Civil Rights, Wright Brothers, Civil War, etc. I have a love/hate relationship with this city. What do you do for a living? I work at a design agency and do some freelance design. How did you choose your Mixx handle? No profound answer just a lazy whatever name. I couldnt really think of a good creative name so I just used this. Yea that's lame but Im not as creative with words as I am with visual arts. What are your interests? Finding good music new and old, going to shows (recently saw ...

In the third installment of our "Meet the Super Mixxers" series, I had to go with my man Tau_Zero. Our forums on the bowl are generally full of hilarity and good times. Sometimes a ton of seriousness as well. Let's just say the first few forums posts by Tau REALLY got our attention. He has excellent submissions and is a real laid back, light-hearted guy. Where are you from? I was born and bred in the great state of New Jersey. Currently I live in Central (yes, it does exist), where it's not overrun by NYCers or South Jersey hicks. Contrary to popular belief, NJ is not all industrial parks and guidos. Where does your handle come from? My high school physics teacher was very enthusiastic and absolutely loved the subject. Being a huge nerd, he would tell us of good science fiction books, movies, and whatnot. "Tau Zero" by Poul Anderson was one of them. Essentially, their starship drive is stuck in 'accelerate.' As they begin to approach the speed of light, they must deal with the relativistic effects and what it means for them as people. "Tau Zero" also sounds cool. What are your interests? I have a ...

Our very first SuperMixxer in the Meet the Super Mixxers series is our own Georgia Peach Kat136. Kat is a very charming lady to get to know, and it has been a joy to meet her on Mixx.com .  She joined our forums on Mixxingbowl.com and made a great impression. Her submissions are carefully selected and she wastes no time commenting on submissions that are important to her. Her views are highly respected among her peers and she cares deeply for the Mixx community. When not on Mixx Kat is a Copywriter and a Proof reader. In her own words "I basically turn Spanglish into English." Kat is a Southern Belle who claims to have never dated any of her cousins. Her Pet Cause: Food Banks She can both read and write and also cipher a little. She has all her teeth. She gets lots of "hot Chick" submission shares and feels morally obligated to judge them. She can not stand Lionel Hutz. You can find Kat on Mixx.com and on the Mixxingbowl forums.

My fellow Mixxers and SuperMixxers, I come before you with a new challenge – this time directed at Mixx itself! As some of you are aware, we have focused some energy in working against those who have previously abused the system.  It was a two stage campaign – reactive and proactive. It is now time to begin being proactive. Mixx, over the last year, has been growing very steadily, gaining new users every day.  We’ve always been a tight community, what with The Mixxing Bowl and individual interactions we’ve had with each other.  It’s time to extend that community feeling outward and welcome the newer users. The key goal here is to continue helping Mixx to grow, and so our goal for The Ultimate Challenge is two-fold: 1.    Help Mixx retain our new fellow Mixxers coming into the community 2.    Get more quality submissions hitting the popular page The question is, “How do we do this?” Let’s take a look at what we can do to help accomplish this ultimate challenge. Welcoming and Retaining our New Mixxers Jump on the CNN Submissions Many of you have noticed, as have I that submissions made by CNN Reader will often have numerous comments made by new users.  These new Mixxers, more often than ...
