Last week on Current.com - 9/15-9/21

Well, another week has passed, which means it's time to recap the last week on Current.com. There's plenty to dive into here, so let's get to it.

// VC2 Leaderboard Winner //

Last week's leaderboard was a doozy, but Danielmklopp's Down to Dribble pod managed to scrape up enough popularity over the course of the week to earn the top spot. If you haven't given it a view yet, click play and take a trip to Peru for some enriching community basketball dribbling. Congrats, Danielmklopp!

// Top Five Contributors on Current.com //

Without contributions, the Current community would starve for things to discuss. So, it seems only fitting to give props to our top contributors of stories, blogs, and other various items each. They give us the stuff to discuss and vote on, so let's give them a round of applause for keeping us fed with the latest and greatest.

Wow, starr111 has held up the top spot two weeks in a row, but articspirit is a newcomer to the list and proves that anyone could slip right into #1 with a little dedicated clipping. It's also great to see MeganMcKenzie in the mix as well. Thanks for your steady contributions, guys!
