That is not a big deal Frank. I was an Ambassador a while back.
Now I fluctuate around 150. I am busy building and do not always
have time to be active in the community. We can only do what we
can do. Our bread and butter is important to take care of.

WA isn' top priority in anyone's life I would hope. I absolutely love it here and look forward to the time I can spend here . However life does happen and some things have to take precedence.

I am sure you will get it back up.

You don't have to do it all in one day Frank ... you're on the right path with the right attitude ... consistent and persistent ... that's it ... give yourself more credit ... your doing great ... think long term ...

It is about persistence. Also, all of us need to manage our priorities. You will build your way back to the top if this is what you want.

appreciate the response Liz

Ya gotta do, what ya gotta do. The travelling takes a lot out of a person. Don't worry about it!!! It's a number.

I wouldn't see it like this... They didn't decrease your ranking because you weren't active enough (well sure that's a point too) but others were just more active...

I am sure if you want you can raise your ranking again in a manageable time.

But think about this too: how should the ranking work else? There is an algorithm behind it and it doesn't know that you've been traveling.

Well... to sum things up: Thank you for being a helpful member of WA and I hope that the gratefulness of the members is more worth than a ranking.

Not something to worry about really... More often than not ranks do go up and down as mine does...

It is about the activity on the platform in many areas and not only one specific area.

If you are travelling it can be hard to keep up your normal pace... some days I work 16 and 17 hours and I see my rank drop... never mind 13 days :)

232 is still fine :)

We do appreciate you Frank, and I wouldn't put too much store by that. I'm going on holiday for a week and no doubt, that will affect my rankings, but hey, I will start again when I get back :)
