Hello everyone

It's been already 2 weeks since the "Steemskate Community" has officially launched and since all posts are stored forever on chain we decided to add these "Weekly Steemskate Community" Statistics to our post schedule so we can track the growth of our community.

This is not gonna be a long and boring to read blog. We will just share the community statistics and inform you about some new things that are happening within our skateboarding community.

Let's take a look at the numbers.

Weekly "Steemskate Community" Statistics

Subscribers - 35

Active Users - 11

Interactions - 41

Pending Rewards - $13

Visual Proof via @Steempeak

Our Subscribers have doubled up and that's great. Now regarding the number of posts, interactions and pending rewards my thoughts are that they are lower due to less cross-posting in our community. When the cross-posting feature was introduced by Steempeak people were cross posting every post everywhere. We thought that it would be cool if Steemskaters could cross-post their Dtube videos at the "Steemskate Community" but later on we discovered that cross-posting a post to another community creates a new post and it kinda feels like spamming sharing the same post twice right?

From now on, just upload your Dtube videos as you always did using the #steemskate tag and our curation trail will upvote your work. If you don't feel like sharing a video and want to write a skate-related blog, start a skate-related discussion or share some skateboarding photos feel free to use our community's interface to do so. That was we can keep the Steemskate community page active and we won't spam Steem with cross-posts.

A Call for Help

Vote for your Witnesses

I am sure you've read a ton of posts by people you follow on Steem so I won't go into details. Just a reminder that if you want to keep our blockchain decentralized you must vote for witnesses.

If you do now know what witnesses on Steem are, take a look at the post bellow

• https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitguide/steemitguide-what-is-a-exactly-is-a-steem-witness-and-why-every-user-should-vote

Some days ago @justinsunsteemit tried to take governance of Steem Blockchain by using Steemit's Ninja Mined stake to vote for his witnesses (they were not even real people, just some bots) and overthrow our Steem Community's democratically elected witnesses out of the top 20 positions. This caused a huge uproar on Steem as no-one wants Steem to be a new facebook ruled by one man (Justin Sun).

All Steemians took action and started voting for their witnesses. We currently have 11 witnesses back in the top 20 spots.Don't waste time, go vote for witnesses. It's super-easy and of course by doing so you are helping in securing Steem's reputation as the best decentralized social media platform.

If you do not know how to vote for your witnesses, take a look at the posts bellow.

New Steemskate Contest

If you missed the latest Steemskate Contest post you can find it pinned in our community page (https://steempeak.com/created/hive-173115). The contest is all about promoting Steemskate to more people using different social media platforms and has a prize pool of 20 Steem + every participant will receive a "Steemskate Badge". Sounds cool right?

Visit the "Steemskate Community" and check out our pinned post if you want to learn how to participate.

The @Steemskate Instagram Initiative

If you are using Instagram you most probably follow the @steemskate account but if you don't YES, we now have an official Steemskate account over there. We need to gather followers and start inviting more people to our #skateboarding community here on Steem so we will be starting a fun Instagram #steemskate campaign to get people's attention and onboard more skaters.

How you can help us

It is quite simple. First of all if you don't already follow us on Instagram and have an account over there start following the official Steemskate Profile. Here is the link https://www.instagram.com/steemskate_/ .

After following us, the only thing we ask is to tag us or use the #steemskate tag at your post so we can start sharing all people's posts as stories. More variety of skaters tagging us and we sharing stories of their posts means a lot more visibility for @steemskate.

And that's pretty much it. Just by tagging us and using the #STEEMSKATE tag we can attract people's attention, gather followers and start inviting more people.

Delegate and earn SKATE TOKENS

Delegators will be receiving a fixed ammount of SKATE TOKENS monthly depending on the amount of SP they delegated. For every SP you delegate, you will be receiving x5 SKATE TOKENS. That means that if you delegate 10 SP you will be getting back 50 SKATE TOKENS every month.

The Steem Power Delegated to us will be used to vote exclusively skateboarding content and give all skaters the appropriate support. Whether we like it or not, a big upvote is a huge motivation.
