DanaM:
Dang Dano I do believe I made that point ::) The reward is a hat and a write up in PA hence its a contest ;)
Keenan:
Come on guys lets not hash this again. The way I read the post Don was just asking for ideas to help inspire people to vote. I was just offering and idea with the heart of donating something like a bow to try to help encourage people to take part. And at the same time prompt others to help build this community.
This is a site for new people to learn and BOM dosen't take from that at all. It's a proven fact that if people dedicate time into something they will take more ownership and responsibility in it.
There's nothing childish about looking for ways to help something be better and giving things away to inspire people dosen;t mean that you are bribing or bidding for there vote's.
If some of the bowyers on here want to contribute an item to give at the end of the year how is that bribing. no one would have to know what came from who and the voting would be over anyway.
Sorry Don, I guess in this day and age it's hard to try to do something nice without qetting slammed.

Don
I would not want anyone that is not a member to participate in BOM or any other action inside this board except to view. The registration procedure is involved enough to make it too much of a bother for those that don't have a committed interest. Then there's the spammers. No I like it the way it is.
Dana
PA does pay attention to its members but there is a limit. In the end they pay the bills and therefore they should be in control. Isn't that the way it is in every business?
The way I see it. If the win is had by any means other than an honest one then the winner has a marred win. This system is far from perfect and intelligent people should realize that and make allowances for it. Anything else indicates slightly neurotic behavior. :o
DanaM:
Keenan I admire your optimism, and yes Don asked for suggestions to increase voting. Offering a prize for voting isn't the answer, people will vote if they chose
and I did offer a suggestion for increasing votes and that is to change the contest to be more fair. I don't don't believe anyone is slamming anyone or BOM. We are offering our opinions plain and simple and as such they should be considered and not just disregarded. We the members make this site what it is and as such all of our opinions should matter not just a few members opinions. As I already pointed out I'm pretty sure most people on here don't really care about BOM one way or another and this fact is proven true by the lack of voting. Once again just my opinion right or wrong.
DanaM:
Marc your right PA pays the bills and its their site to do with as they please. I stand corrected.
