Do you ever get tired of playing the forum martyr?

Nathan - My only suggestion would be bringing it back on a less frequent time period, perhaps quarterly.

 

Here is a thought:

Feb - Hardtop/Clubbie
April - Verts
June - Roadsters
August - Coupe
October - Classic
December - CM/PM
January - All the winners from the previous months compete for M/A MOTY award

Could do some type of prize each month or one big prize package for MOTY. Could also change up the timing so that MOTY would be announced during MOTD.

 

Feel the love Jim!

 

Nathan gave me a very nice grill badge. He gives me a dozen donuts at the next breakfast. :donut1:

 

Where did I mention anything about you.....was just adding to what you said.

This is a good example of why that thread went downhill so bad. Too many accusations and assumptions.

 

I thought that was for a completely diffferent reason............

 

Had a feeling it would happen, was watching the whole time hoping they would quit but to no avail. Really sucks though I was really excited for next month... I even rushed to get some modifications done for it. Wasn't about the prizes for me, it was about competition and getting to display my car.

 

....and I lose again. :biggrin5:

it's to bad that folks can't play nice, especially for something as mundane as car of the month on a forum.


added....If you ever decide to bring this back, I suggest you make it available only to those who have not won in the past.

 

Eric.......sounds like home huh?

:biggrin5:

 

Its always the case, no matter what you are doing...it only takes one or two jackasses to take something fun and ruin it for the rest...Sorry to see this go...Maybe a suggestion to turn it into a yearly competition...MINI of the YEAR! enter and campaign all year long and announce the winners in December. Prizes would make a good Christmas Package. Less work for you Nate, and it would be easier for people to get on board...
My 2cents

 

Meh... that gets a little dangerous b/c you would have more contestants and more personalities going at it. Perhaps themed months and send out emails to enter so people know. Not everyone looks at the forum everyday and threads get buried. So basically my idea is to have one month be for Justa's, another R53s, R56s, Clubmans, Countrymans, Vintage, heavily modded, non-modded etc... Make it so it is compact each month and if there aren't enough entrances then no monthly mini; simple. But email or even pm notifications to inform what month is what and when to enter is key.

 

Sad, it was fun to enter both MINIs for two months, I did not win, we had a good time.

Nathan, you took the proper steps, it was out of hand.

Back to posting about what I did with my MINI today.

I enjoyed voting for other MINIs, even though I never intended to enter either our Roadster or Countryman. MINI OF THE MONTH, in my opinion, was for showcasing the unusuals. I think the poor number of entries and the very poor number of voters was reason enough to suspend the contest that Nathan so gallantly administered. But, I will still miss it, and I again congratulate the winners who now hold those coveted titles.

 

Yea it was sad.......since the thread is still viewable, all anyone has to do is go back and review the events of the last two days......and see how it all started.....

 

......and also to see those that seemed bent on continuing it.

 

Ok, and you would have sat there and taken all that? Check the time frame of my posts.
