Re: No December COTM?

The creator of the page is actually a contender for top car himself. Feel free to throw him - and fellow third gen lovers - a vote if you havent done so already

My point was that he's probably preoccupied with trying to get his car to win on the other site. I respect that, considering all the work he normally puts into COTM, which is why I suggested others return the favor to him by voting for his car.

Brandon seems to keep busy on and outside of TGO. I'm sure he will get December up and running soon.

Re: No December COTM?

Everyone I'm sorry. I dropped the ball, and I dropped it hard. I definitely have lots of things going on outside of TGO, especially so this month , but timing of some of those outside events and brain fart is really what allowed this to slip from my priority.

I apologize as I did find time to "pimp" for votes for my car on the Super Chevy thing early in the month, and after that I had turned my attention back to my outside TGO concerns.

With no more excuses, I don't see a way to make a Dec. COTM work in the short time frame, so we will just need to move forward with a 2013 COTY. This years was gonna be a weird one with a couple missing months earlier in the year as well.

Sorry,
Brandon

Re: No December COTM?

Brandon,

Do you normally throw up a thread for entries or is it somewhere on the TGO website. Just curious for whenever I throw my car in there.

Its chosen by members. So someone would need to nominate your car, then another member to second the nomination. Post lots of pics of your car in the appropriate threads and be an active positive member. Typically that helps get your car noticed by others when it comes getting nominated. You can do it your self.

you would be surprised.. some are not show cars but daily drivers that people have modded a bit to show some style. I have seen large paint chips missing. cracks on the bumpers etc and all good if people like you are your car enuf
I have never been nominated but I dont put much work into it like Brandon suggested we do.

Alright guys/gals. Sorry I haven't been on here to run the COTM program. I feel like its letting all you guys down and I know it made people wanna check in here on the site. I had to resign from the COTM until I can have enough free time on the computer to run it. I made some changes with my business which require more of my time, and less to put towards my hobby. I did let JT know in advance of this and made suggestions of members I think could run this program if they chose to help. I'm hoping as the summer months come in I can find more time to come on. I have checked in like twice to answer some PM's in the past 3 months.

Re: No December COTM?

Brandon did inform me that he may need assistance, and provided two possible candidates if I recall correctly, and then Brandon confirmed it later. My understanding was Brandon was going to do the COTY thread and a thread about the situation. I left it at that. I guess I was hoping Brandon would find a way to continue after a short break with the holidays. We have to upgrade our content management system (front page) and so that and other things have taken up some time and resources. Brandon handled the COTM 100% as I only posted the news on our front page. I would like the COTM to continue just as Brandon had managed it.
