What is being a "top contributer" mean ??

It means you will be deleted soon

I think it means you get to feel 10 people up of you choosing. I think it means you need to get a bunch of "best answers" in a certain category. Edit-I think Jackass is right on this one.

I was top contributor(in cooking) for awhile but then I branched out; answering questions in a lot of categories and lost it =( Top Contributors Q: What is a Top Contributor? A Top Contributor is someone in the Answers community who, through their participation on Answers, has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. Each Answers user can be a Top Contributor in up to three categories. Q: How are Top Contributors determined? The Top Contributor badge is dynamic, and you earn it by being an active participant who contributes quality answers in a particular category on Answers. Anyone can earn a Top Contributor badge as it does not depend on points or level. Top Contributors are not permanent, which is to say you must continue to be an active answerer in order to retain a Top Contributor badge. Similarly, even if you are not a Top Contributor today, you can earn the badge by contributing high quality answers in any category or multiple categories of your choosing. The more actively you contribute quality answers and best answers to a particular category, the more likely you will earn a badge for your contributions in that category. Just like featured users or category leaders, the badge is another way to honor and feature community members who are actively participating and knowledgeable in particular categories on Answers.

Well there you have it, you have the answers you seek. Just make sure you learn the secret hand shake and be careful to review the gift bag once you receive it. The gift card to Applebee's is SUPPOSE to be for $50.00. A lot of people have been getting $35.00 dollar ones.

I think it has something to do with procreating...

I'm not sure at all how I got this designation. One day it just appeared....lol! I've been wondering about that ever since. Someone told me it has something to do with answering a certain number of questions in one category over a certain period of time. How many questions and over how much time, I do not know....if you ever figure out the answer, would you let me know? LOL!

.good question .....i have been wondering the same thing.

It goes to people that answer ALOT of questions in a certain catagory correctly. :) ~Cindy! :)

You have to answer a lot of questions in one specific category. Like Top Contributors to "health" or "entertainment" or "travel" answer questions in mostly only those categories. If you want to be a top contributor, which only means having the honor of the orange badge under your name, then pick a category and answer questions only in that category and soon enough, you'll get the honor.
