We canāt wait to see what these new faces bring to our community.
And weāre sad to say that weāll also be saying goodbye to a few faces. @HoddzDJ, @Rat_au_van, and @alexs will be moving on, but itās never goodbye for good. We hope theyāll stick around and help keep this a great place to come and chat about Monzo.
Weāve also now published our Coral Crew Code of Conduct. This is a separate Code of Conduct just for Coral Crew, explaining what we expect from them and what weāll offer in return.
Want to get involved with the next round?
Just keep posting, and help folks out where you can. Weāll be in touch in two months if we think you could be our newest Coral Crew member
Just want to take the opportunity to say thanks to @HoddzDJ , @Rat_au_van & @alexs for providing such great input here on the forum before and during their time as part of the CC, itās really helped to shape the community and made it a better place. I hope to still see you all on here .
@HoddzDJ, @Rat_au_van, and @alexs
These three are definitely in need of a thank you from me, as the first few posts I made on here were about my personal experiences and using Monzo. The support was amazing! Really set the impression for me of how great this community is.
Congratulations @Dannytc@Jackcrwhitney@glasgow! Canāt wait to see more of your contributions on here yāall have made such solid responses and are so helpful, it inspires me to do better
Also, thank you to @Rat_au_van, @HoddzDJ, @alexs- theyāve been a big part of my forum experience and Iāll never forget how lightning quick questions were answered and threads dealt with. Iām sad theyāre no longer part of CC but Iām sure theyāll still be a wonderful, positive influence on here
Sorry for my tardiness (being dragged round Tescoā¦)!
Thanks for the warm welcome! Looking forward to getting stuck in and catching up with the rest of the crew to see what we can do!!
As others have said thanks to the outgoing coral crew for all your hard work and support over recent months. Itās not gone unnoticed and youāve set the bar high for us noobs!
Congrats to the new Crew! Great choices, @.cookywook and congrats to you all!
And really sorry to see the old guard go - but theyāll forever be amazing. When weāre at a #millionmillionmonzo customers* then youāll look back and see you were a super important part of that journey!
(Actually, Iām quite taken by the idea of rotating Coral Crew status - so hopefully some will sub back in in the futureš)
*Iām determined that this hash tag becomes a thing. A million million Monzo customers. Yay!
#millionmillionmonzo
(Edit: @cookywook, on the Coral Crew Code of Conduct, under āOur Responsibilities To Youā thereās still a reference to being a Leader rather than Coral Crew << minor point)
An interesting thought. Given there are only eight billion people on the planet, youād need to start offering banking to ants or something⦠Thereās probably a great joke in there somewhere, but Iām struggling to think of it!
Have you ever actually seen an āAmerican billionā used as a number? Iāve worked for two American banks, and they both used a real billion. Also what do Americans supposedly call a thousand million?
Americans call a thousand million a billion. Didnāt the British billion used to be a million million before they adopted the American billion (thousand million)? I had never heard of a British billion until last year tbh
Ah, thatās why I was mildly confused by your last post!
Off topic explanation of what Wikipedia says about billions
A billion is a number with two distinct definitions:
1,000,000,000, i.e. one thousand million, or 10^9 (ten to the ninth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both British and American English.
Historically, in British English, 1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 10^12 (ten to the twelfth power), as defined on the long scale. This is one thousand times larger than the short scale billion, and equivalent to the short scale trillion.
