September 2009 Photo Contest - Voting Thread

[Junior]

http://rwalshphoto.com/AEcarbon/BANNERLX.jpg

This month's theme was: "Back to School"
Voting Ends: Thursday, September 24 at 10:40PM (Pacific Time)

Please take your time to look over ALL the photos before making your choice(s)

The poll is Multiple Choice Cast as many or as few votes as you like, for the pictures you think stand out from the rest. But keep in mind that the more votes you cast, the less they're worth, relatively speaking. (If you vote for them all, they cancel each other out).

The winner will choose next month's theme, and wins a $50 credit towards any purchase at AE Carbon!

Yes, I can see the results.

[chuck-n-michelle]

[novawagonmaster]

Yeah, we can see the votes...and what's even more f'd up...I'm winning!:panic:

[Todd RT]

REALLY Nice shots everyone! I couldn't get a pic in this month. Lookin' forward to next month.

[Junior]

OK, not sure what I goofed on the poll, but I sent a PM to the admin team to see if they can be hidden after the fact...

Sorry about that gang!

[ChuckWagon]

Voted.

After seeing the submissions this month....there is no way that I would've stood a snowballs chance in you-know-where....

Great work everyone!!

[Higshemi]

This is one the best group of shots I've had the pleasure of looking through. Some great creativity.... Hmmm now which one takes the cake. GL to all.

[Junior]

Thanks to whomever hid the results! Hope you guys who were following the results got one last peek! ;)

And the portal announcement went up, but just before the LXOM nomination announcement... so let's shoot for an end to submissions by the 15th or so next month.

[Fondy]

15 days lol

well it is going to make us get out and take them sooner

Could always do middle of the month to middle of the month for the contest so we don't have any interference with the LXOM stuff. It would still give 3 weeks to get the photos and a week to vote/setup new contest.

That's where we were. Still a month-long contest, but it began and ended mid-month, not at the end. I have to tease Matt gently. And blame him entirely. :Na_Na_Na_Na:

It is really easy to let it creep further and further towards the end of the month if you're not careful, and I had let it creep too, before I realized it, and then I had to shorten one or two months to get it back on track - that was at least a year ago... But yeah, I can't pass up an opportunity for some good-natured ribbing since I passed the torch. :mrgreen:

[S L U G]

junior howcome you dont have a pic in here?? I know you run it but maybe then I would have a chance of beating someone! lol

[novawagonmaster]

junior howcome you dont have a pic in here?? I know you run it but maybe then I would have a chance of beating someone! lol

WOW Junior! Didn't take him long to get your number:)

[Junior]

What's that? Did I hear someone talking?

Yeah, yeah I did - nonstop. :mrgreen:

[Fondy]

In my defense the manual was not very long on "how to run the photo contest" LOL

and thanks again Junior for taking it back for now. I was and still am just overloaded. gotta love a Preg wife :)

OUCH! lol I just started to think about how many members we have on here(yes Im talking again you big jerks) lol and we had 10 submissions?? really? out of all the people on here? what do we have to do to get a little more exposure around here? its not like people are asked to have really lame WHAMMY avatars(zing-ah) lol just kidding, and I have no idea how i thought you putting a pic on here would change all that?? you know what I mean tho?

[Ella C SRT]

I was and still am just overloaded. gotta love a Preg wife :)
Heyy! Did I hear that baby number 2's on the way?
Congratulations to you and the Mrs.!

Go back through the threads. They're all there, and some of them are months with 30 submissions... some months are slower than others.

I think that when the pics were posted to the thread rather than through PM's there was a lot more exposure and a lot more excitement, but I like it this way too; and the reasons the change was made were good ones. That's all there too if you're interested in the history. Lots of great shots throughout.

[Junior]

I think it went something like... "HELP!!!" :mrgreen:


gotta love a Preg wife :)

My local Enterprise Rent-A-Car has a TorRed Charger on the lot.
