And honestly, I would enter something more often but I go on "hate to paint" spells and don't finish anything for months. As for the "like" button: I'm with the Duke: I want to acknowledge something but may simply not have time to type out a considered response. There's a couple of threads on various forums I follow that I'd love to weigh in on, but time can be short. You're a good friend of mine as far as I'm concerned Russ and I mean no disrespect when I say the following....it's just my own view point about the "like button". I use the like button for an attention getter mostly. If I've commented on somebody's build or have a question for them about their build I'll often use the "like" button to draw their attention to it. Particularly if it's one of the OP's older threads. If, however, I don't have time to post a response to a build or post I won't hit the like button. If I've got something to say I'll say it or I'll wait till I have an opportunity. I look at it like this.....we put time into our builds and take the time to post our progress and completions. It's worth at least some sort of response. |

That makes sense. And no disrespect taken, we're all different and have our own "likes".... sorry.  |

This is that kind of place. If people can't exchange opinions, what's the use? To illustrate, there's a thread going on over on Armorama about improving the old Tamiya Sheridan, and the guy got flamed, something about why "waste money when there's a better kit out" and then of course it got petty. Gee whiz Wally. I was gonna chip in because I just really love improving old kits, but I decided not to throw gas on the fire. But, I'm hi-jacking now. MoM is a good idea and fun, no matter how it's organized. Now I'm going to finish something. |

Excellent comments here and thank you Bucky for the clarification. And when it comes to the contests GBK, I would believe it's a participation, or group building activity among all the friends here. It's not like we get a permanent award like a medal or certificate; the point is not to win but to contribute to an activity to help build more camaraderie. Anyway, that's how I see the point you seem to be missing. Of course, I could be wrong but it seems to me having a 'contest' where everyone decides what is shown is a much better way of showing off great work on the banner heading than just having an admin choose one. That doesn't build the camaraderie like a contest of this type does.

Now you guys are missing my point. I never, anywhere, in any response said the model should be chosen by an Admin. I merely suggested that as members submitted photos you could post em up in the order you get em. You guys asked for opinions and I gave one. You guys asked for and talk about participation so I did so. I just ask that you get what I say correct. I am sure that you guys will work this out in a way you see fit I will go along with what ever decision you make.

My apologies GBK, I didn't mean to misinterpret you. I also greatly appreciate your participation. You are one of my favorite people on these boards here. Your idea about posting the pics as they come in is a good one too. Perhaps a combination of this idea with the MOM could be done somehow. I leave it to others to hash that out.
