I really like to Member of the Month idea on 9thGen.
The members ride section we have is great, but we got some really nice rides on TOCAU that we can show off that are often buried deep within the section.

9thGen votes for their MOTM, but here are some ideas.

1. Mods can pick amongst themselfs (from self-nominations).

2. The beginning of each month the Mods can pick ~5 candidates (or by self-nominations). Those who are picked have 2 weeks to post up 5 best pics of their cars, and everyone has 2 more weeks to vote on them!

Think this is good for the club socially too. What do you guys think?

i think this is a great idea. and maybe we can have a MOTM for the person who has the most contributions to the club.

Careful MOTM for forum contribution doesn't turn into WOTM.... The people this applies to know who they are...

9th gen did this? That I did not know. Sounds like a good idea though yesh.



Exactly. I'd continually win WOTM. It wouldn't be fair.

sif I wouldn't win it every month Rob...

Wtf??? No way. I fap off more on this site than anyone.

On another note, my parents are fine now (refers to a pm from a galaxy far far away)

just spoken to steve and we are going to try and get this happening with more intergration into the forums as apposed to just a thread/post.

so if you see anything else you like keep the ideas coming.

YAY

I got an awesome idea.
How about when you hit the 'new topic' button it goes to the search page instead and you can only post the new topic once you have done a search.

But realisticly, members with say less than 10 posts or 1 month membership have to have their topic verified by a mod before it actually goes up onto the board?

Another 9thgen idea. I liked the medals thing they had going, or the Ozhonda system of rep points.....

And the winner of the F1 mini league can get a Cup!

well I know of only 1 person here who has been to Wakefield Park this month....

... therefore I win

member of month sounds like a great idea....like the idea of selecting 5 members (at random maybe ......???) then they have time to post pics then voting.....great idea.....good socially too as mentioned earlier

Another thing we could try once we get going is have a theme say every 3rd month.
Bit like what you would have in a show'n'shine

Eg. Best exterior (kits,wheels), best interior (seats, console, lights, sound/entertainment), best engine bay (layout, color scheme), best auto , best tracked car (track pics only!), etc...

And during State of Origin QLD and NSW members can pick 1 representative from each state and let the two duel it out Or even a team of cars of 3-5 (team with most points win )

but yeah.. just some ideas to make it bit a more interesting, and hopefully inspire and motivate members to keep modding

Looks like I won MotM for August (refer to signature for more information)

Any more news on when this will happen?? 2007 ,2008,2009......


Winners i think could be picked from nominations submitted to mods with a few criteria that should be met.

EG - been a member for a certain length of time

contribute to forum positively

Have a post count over a certain number perhaps.



So then they would submit pics of their car and we would have a bio sheet for them to fill out with a bit of a background about the member(name, birthdate, marriage, whether they are male/female, occupation etc etc. how they come to buy a toyota as well.

We should start Jan 2008. A nice way for the forum to kick off the new year.

Member of the Month is now happening. Vote now for your pick.......

Woohooo its finally happening I think i should get automatic nomination since I bought the idea to TOCAU

But that was MONTHS ago

I have indigestion just thinking about it!

Exactly, its taken the mods that long to get it setup and therefore I should be compensated

Well the idea was thrown around quite a while ago after I saw in on 9thgen corolla but admin were a bit slloooww in making it happen so i decided to get the ball rolling...

Congrats to MR22ZZ for being voted Member of the month for March 2008

congrats MR22ZZ

Good stuff MR22ZZ!

Member of the Year?

12 finalists?

Swimsuit competition? (Tayles and Superdave...gigiddy)

Free silver membership and sticker / shirts or something? Dinner with Nelson?

We can organise dinner with Nelson and the swinsuit competition on the same night

Oh yes, I was being serious about this by the way.



Melodysky Equation? You have any leads for me?

Good idea.

With regards to the current method of picking MOTM, i think it needs to be tweaked a little.

Heres my indea:
The mods pick three members up for running each month, and let the member vote for them for a week or two. Of course everyone can still PM their nominations of who they would like see in the running each month, and the mods can take that into consideration. I personally believe this will be a more exciting way to do it rather than keep people in dark til when its finalised, and therefore get more members involved.

Yeah just have a nice big poll thread with the top 3 nominated members. I think that will attract more votes too, because I'm thinking a lot of ppl CBF PMing a moderator, it's so much easier to just tick a box.

We should be directing this at Micky T 'cos I think he's in charge of MOTM... I'll poke him with a stick *poke poke*

(Rob, I don't even have facebook and I've never met her, and I haven't talked to Chris for ages cos of exams, you gotta approach her yourself or wait til next week )

Yup exactly.

Is MOTM allowed in the subscribed members lounge or is that a glitch? I seem to have access to subscribed members lounge...

shhh just make good use of it haha
