    Hey guys,

    This is Leo here, happy to host the Weekly Update so I have another chance to chat with you all. This week, was what you can call a 'Planning' week for the Community team. There isn't much to share now, but we've been working in the background to make the 21st year of the 21st Century an amazing experience for all of those that are part of this amazing community.

    To accomplish that, @Zach X. posted a satisfaction survey to better understand how you felt about the Community's performance last year. If you haven't already, please fill it and let us know your thoughts about our forum. We would love to hear what do you guys expect us to improve in the future Community platform, please don't hesitate to let us know in the comment below.

    The Anniversary campaign is still keeping us busy! Sorry if I didn't reply to those of you who tried to PM me about the prize delivery, we are still working on getting every one of you your deserved prizes.
    But we are glad to say that over 90% of the prizes have been sent and some of you have already received them. Please share the prizes with us below! For those who still waiting for the prize delivery, please be patient and we will try to help you in any way possible.

    As you guys can see, we just crossed the 4 Million users barrier, thank you for all your support and being part of this amazing group of individuals! Having such a big and diverse crowd also means that we need to keep innovating and improving our platform. Therefore, this week in the HQ, we discussed what improvements can be done in 2021 to our forum website and app, to make the experience better for everyone.

    You can also see that we've been experimenting with the video format for our recent AMA. Do you guys prefer video or text? Check here and here if you haven't watched our video AMAs!

    Finally, in 2021, we hope we can not only bring more improvements to the forum, but also create more interesting and creative campaigns for you guys. (More prizes:p) Do you have anything on your mind?

    Thanks for your support, 4 Million Users! We made it! Hooray!

    Woot! 4 million user accounts is nuts but to be fair, a ton of them just signed up for the PUBG contest and will never be seen again. Maybe there could be an account pruning for accounts with less than 5 posts and more than 1 year inactivity?

    Thanks @Leo X. for this update! Have a great weekend!
    Whoohoo! Congratulations OnePlus and community!
    Experimental video was cool. For the future video AMA I'd use voice over (@Crystal Z. available?😎) for reading all the questions out loud. Also show the questions full screen during the voice over.
    Can't wait! Excited for this!

    Happy weekly update @Leo X. !
    Firstly thanks to you and the team for sorting out all the anniversary prizes. Let's hope your PM clear up soon (90% is amazing btw). Glad to hear you're cook content in the background and can't wait to see what you got!

    Talking of prizes, I can confirm I've received my community award gifts: The Official Community Jacket and New Urban Backpack!
    IMG_20210121_123502-01.jpeg
    I hope to get to use the backpack properly when the world decides to not have a meltdown. Until then I can't wait to use it (maybe I should review it in the meantime?).

    The jacket on the other hand has finally met it's other secret sibling. To think these came from our imaginations and now have become real jackets. A rare sight and an absolute honour to be part of. Let's hope one day we'll get to meet in person, wearing these.

    Currently awaiting the bottle but will cheers when arrived. ☺️

    Annnnyway, I hope everyone is keeping well and is having a good weekend.
    And of course, as always: Never Settle

    I prefer video answers for the AMA.
    🤔🤔 well idk about what creative campaigns, but I hope there are pet prizes that can be won! (My dogs love squeaky plushs).

    G'day Leo,

    yeah 4+ million strong. To answer a few of your questions:
    Text. It is flexible in various circumstances. There are many places out here that video takes more data and in several countries, access to mobile or wifi data are limited and expensive. Hence, text works best. plus it also trains more the brain and good for all ages from Gen Z tothe older wise folks to read.

    • wallpaper contest.
    • A few ideas regarding devices and cameras... but have to think through it and too long for here. ;)
    • countdown madness threads
    • protective case co creation.
