    Ok Amcarrig suggested a contest for photos..I love this idea, can't wait to start. I think it would be really cool if we did a tank of the month. we submit photos of our tank, members vote, and the winners tank is displayed on the main page(or a specific page) until the next month when there is a new winner! No need for prizes as the prize would be your tank being the winner.

    i agree that would be a great idea possibly have a section also with people just starting and most progress sort of thing. On second thought lol that might not be good more single people would be poping up from their wives leaving them from spending so much money tryin to earn that title lol.

    I like the idea. Maybe after the upcoming photo contest, we can do a tank of the month contest for the remaining months of the year!

    While we are thinking out loud, another forum I'm highly involved in purposely chose NOT to have a tank of the month. Many (probably most) forums eventually have a tank of the month contest. But we didn't choose not to do one for a number of reasons and "being different" was not one of them.

    Here was our thought process and I would like to "Throw the spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks".

    • What if someone has an amazing tank but has poor photography skills?
    • What if someone has an awesome tank, has awesome photography skills, but they only post to "Toot their own horn" and wouldn't take 2 minutes to help someone else if you held a gun to their head.
    • What if the tank has amazing potential but needs some "maturing time" but they will help anyone with the drop of the button?
    • Yada, yada, yada......

    Based on the above, we chose to have a member of the month as opposed to a tank of the month.

    Like I said, I'm just throwin' spaghetti.....
