I think that many people are almost intimidated by the standard and feel that they are not in the correct position to post because they think athers know more about the craft. Those that post more.
just my 2 cents

And I meant what I said before. We like new guys and we like questions. We all learn from every question no matter how silly someone thinks it is. Please ask away if you have questions and feel free to speak up when you have something to add. Justin

--- Quote ---I post my bows for constructive critisim. i don t have a problem with them being in bom. i know i dont have much of a chance but its fun. once i got 1 vote. 1 real vote and i was very happy someone else actually liked it
i would like to see some of this fixed but i dont want to do away with bom i look foward to it. and life is too short to get upset or mad. im only 14 but i may not be typing here tomorrow. that one of the reasons i almost never get mad and if i do i dont stay mad. i dont like being in a bad mood
dont worry.... be happy

I remembered this young man's comment from the other thread and felt it was worth all of us reading again. I think we could all learn a lesson and would be better off if we followed David's logic. We're all individuals and as such there will always be something about this forum that doesn't meet everyone's approval. I think PA is making some changes to the BOM, so we should all just take a few deep breaths and calm our nerves and see what changes will be made...I'm sure they will be for the better.
I think Shannon made a good point about new folks having to register to view pictures...probably is largely responsible for a large but inactive membership. I feel like even though a lot of folks may be inactive, hopefully many of them are still gaining information just from reading and viewing the posts. That's a positive note to me! Let this forum be whatever the individual wants it to be for themselves. For some it's communicating, and posting, and voting. For others it is only viewing, but over time and gained experience that could change for some.
"What will be will be" I for one will try and take David's advice and... "not worry...be happy!". ;)

Greg, I knew David was a wise old sage from his first post. 8) The rest of us chronological oldies should heed his wise advise. Pat

Well, that's a lot of reading. I have been aware of this site for about a year and a half now. Joined up to learn, then started chatting and getting to know everyone, and eventually met some in person. I'ts been a grand adventure and a lot of fun, and I consider most to be my second family. The monthly BOM to me is just a part of it "fun". I'm like others - it is what it is. Some will vote for purty, some will vote for a buddy, some will vote for function. Like Gordon said a little friendly competition is a healthy thing. I personally don't consider the BOM to be broke so doesn't need to be fixed, but if it's tweaked in some way I'm not going to loose any sleep over it - I have bigger badder things to worry about in life. The contest and this site to me is all good :).
