Do you think ROTM should be started back up? Vote :-)
- Thread starter 086head
- Start date
It has been tried and tried.
Its a great idea in theory except there is a lack of high quality builds and it ends up being like 5 stock ish civics and one nice car and thats y it dies out so fast.
If we had more members that posted regularly that had "nice" cars then it would work better...

Exactly, there are hardly any build threads on this site anymore.
Noone looks at mine. So I stooped posting every update

To throw in a moderator's 2 cents...
This is a topic that fairly frequently comes up in the mod lounge. We've tried to revive it over and over again, but we always end up with situations like Chris described (Mymmeryloss). We just don't get enough entries.
That said, we HAVE done featured ride in the past with moderate success (no longer monthly), and we are considering bringing that back.

So my question is why do the cars being submitted have to be "show quality"? If we're the ones voting, why shouldn't the best one's of the bunch be good enough for that month? So this forum doesn't have magazine cover cars being posted daily like some other do. So what? That might inspire more to keep up with builds or stop jumping ship to show off their rides else where 
My take, do it and F*@& the haters 
... BTW, none of my rides are worthy so I wouldn't be posting them. However, I do plan on having a "worthy" ride this summer and this is the ONLY forum I post photos in just so everyone knows how I roll.
EDIT: Maybe instead of ROTM, it could be your best Honda photo of the month? Then people could submit photos of anything Honda that they personally took. Cool motor shots, garage shots, bay shots, or your personal ride?? That makes it a little more fun for everyone. Then even I can join in

I like the idea of it being quarterly. monthly is too much until the amount of builds here pick up.
I vote for quaterly! And if your ride already won one year, you'll have to wait until next year.
Its worth a shot

Joe hit it on the head. Ride of the month won't happen again unless things change around here. Featured ride will be back. It's been discussed.
It is easy to say "we want ride of the month". It's another thing to execute it. Easier said than done.
I looked back through the old featured ride archives. It's always the same thing. Push and push to get people to submit rides, then push and push to get them to vote. The last 3 haven't showed much interest and there was more active "contributing" members during that time.

The ratio to guys that helped compared to those that just ask the same old questions and then leave was a lot higher.
The mods had to pull teeth to get people to vote. The vote tally was pretty small. So was the amount of cars submitted and we had more activity back then...
Tits or GTFO!
This policy will definitely increase activity!

I wouldn't enter. My civic has many things it needs before I'm happy with it.
