No censorship. Outside the lounge I would like it to not happen(cusing, rudness and so on). I want to keep this an infomational site, but also having the lounge to be yourself. Not letting it get to wild. :Boo:

on another site I go to. If you post again, even with a quote, it just adds it to your orig post if nobody has posted and your with in 5 min. That saves clutter IMO, also keeps teh whoring down.

like you said in another thread a build section

I'm just wondering though, if a build section is added, will it actually be used?

I mean would one use it to post say, "Hey just installed a bull bar."

Rollin Thunder
04-30-2009, 09:36 PM
90% of our builds can just be put in to a build thread in the general duscussion, or if your building in a specific area (ie audio) just put it in that section. IMO.

I will be getting a skin soon, just want to make sure this forum takes off before I spend money on getting it skinned.

Give me some ideas on how to setup a ride of the month? Just add the pics to a post and do a poll?

Cartwright
04-30-2009, 11:03 PM
We could do a Poll or just have certian people vote for it or even jusy have the Admins pick it.

here are the rules that they have on another forum that i am on maybe we could make some version of these
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible to compete in the ROTM, you must meet the following requirements:

-Must be a member for a month prior to the ROTM. (example: joined July 21st, eligible for September ROTM)
-Must have made at least 4 posts per month over the past two months prior to the ROTM.
-Must have a post count of at least 13.
-Must have a photo gallery set up with at least one photos. How-to: Adding a Photo Gallery
-Vehicle does not have to be Chevrolet, but must share a platform with a Chevrolet vehicle. For instance, a Saturn Aura may compete because it shares the Malibu platform, but a Pontiac Solstice may not because it has no Chevrolet counterpart.


OTHER ELIGIBILITY REGULATIONS

-If you have won the ROTM, you will not be eligible to compete in the next 2 ROTMs. For instance, if you win April ROTM, you can't compete again until the July ROTM.
-You can win a maximum of 2 ROTM titles within one calendar year. After you have won two ROTMs, you are not eligible again until the next January. If your 2nd win comes in the Dec. ROTM, you are not eligible again until the February ROTM.



ROTM PROCESS

-A nominations thread will be opened on the first of every month.
-Any member can nominate an eligible member's vehicle. (you may NOT nominate yourself) -Nominate by saying "I nominate BigJoe123".
-A maximum of two nominations can be made by one member, if voting has not started by the 6th day, members who have made two nominations may make another to get things going.
-Please PM THE PERSON YOU ARE NOMINATING.
-Once nominated, the nominee must accept or decline.
-Up to 5, but no less than 3 candidates may compete.
-If 5 candidates are chosen before the 15th, voting begins immediately.
-A picture from the participants gallery will be used in the voting thread.
-Participants may send a PM to EvansBlue with the picture you want in the voting thread if you wish. (picture cannot be any larger than 640x480px). If the PM is not sent, then one will be selected from the competitor's gallery.
-Voting will stay open until the time posted on the last day of the month.
-Once the voting is over, the winner will write up a quick bio of his vehicle including all modifications, vehicle history, etc., and send it via e-mail to me.


IN THE EVENT OF A TIE

In the eventuality that a tie occurs in the voting the tie will be broken based on a vote by the staff. In the eventuality that a member of staff is one of the tied contestants, then there will be a 3-day-long tie-breaker vote held in the ROTM section.

I like the ride or the month idea alot. Just start a section under the lounge or something. Then you could have a locked thread with just the winners and new threads each month for nominated trucks.
