Since I have become a member here I have noticed it to be an informative if not overly friendly forum.The subject has arisen among members here if a contest of some sort would be in order,I think its a fantastic idea and I would love to see this forum grow into a more active exciting experiance for vivarium hobbiests to hang out ,talk and share what makes us tick.Here is a poll,I do hope I havnt overstepped.

first of all with the number of actual "active members" 3 hours isnt long enough to judge the desire for the poll or the contest at hand the simple fact of the matter is that a contest with possible rewards will attract more active members. the poll is a great idea i wish i had have done it myself now looking back on it just give it a bit more time some good results will result in great results

I never noticed this thread before... I reopened the poll. Let's hear from some more people on this one.

What about alternating with the contests every month? Top person, top viv, top herp photo, and so on...... Might make it more interesting.

I personally really don't like the idea of "member of the month". I feel like it is going to be a popularity contest and should be avoided. The other one's sound good though, and I like the idea of alternating, rather than doing them simultaneously, that way we are only running one at a time until the forum grows more.

I think this is a good idea but I agree that I would not have a member of the month. One other thing I would suggest is redo the home page so that it is easier to see the actual activity such as new post, current post etc. I think having the same articles taking up most of the home page is not very useful. I have just recently gotten back to being involved here. This forum has tons of good information and I would like to see it grow.

IF we are going to have the " of the month " contests i think some time should be put into the criteria. Im all for tank of the month as long as we can say the tank has to be within a certian price range, I have no kids,no car, no morgage and make 2600 a month alone after tax, not counting my wife who makes more them me. basically i can go drop 3 grand on a tank now and most people cant so say a 200$ limit or what ever, same goes for pics lol. Top person / member is not so bad, i would not vote for somebody who gives shotty info or we can plainly see has no clue weather i like them or not, and i would assume by the posts ive read we all care about our pets more then each other. Top members would have the honor of knowing we admire them for there pains takeing reaserch and dedication to the care of their pets. Sound stupid?
