Looking Forward #2

OK...we are over half way there...

I'd like to know your thoughts on this....how about we approach Eyal and get him to sign off on letting any and all vendors that want to participate join us in being able to do a massive and monstrous giveaway during the week of our anniversary? We can still give Invicta the predominant place, but I really think we can have an anniversary "celebration" like no forum has ever done if he would allow us to slightly bend the agreement we have with him.

Besides Invicta, we know that Android, NFW, Renato and probably Croton would participate.

I think SO would jump on board since Larry is here and WatchDaddy might be able to get in on it as well.

What do you guys think?

I'd really like to do the 1 year anniversary up right.... __________________ Michael

If it's brought up, I need to stay out of it.

Not a bad idea at all, but I would wait a while before bringing it up.

I think the Renato forum section ended up a bit bigger than he expected, and he did make a comment about it. He wasn't pissy, and he says we're all totally good... but I could tell that he probably felt a little slighted, so I wouldn't push for more until it becomes more of a memory to him. __________________

What was his expectation in regards to the Renato section? I thought he was good with us breaking them out into what we did? __________________ Michael

Like I said, I think he was expecting something smaller, that's all.

We had discussed a loose structure including a renato section and a multimedia section... it grew to 5 or 6 sections. So he was caught off guard is all.

Like I said, no biggie, he's cool. __________________

OK guys....

As of right now, we are +129 new registered members for the month and will quickly be hitting 5,000. I personally think that 5,000 is a HUGE milestone for us. I'd like to put forward that we contact Eyal and see if we can put together a big "prize package" for lucky member number 5,000. I am talking like a nice watch, a hat or two, maybe some shirts, a backpack

anything and everything that Eyal would be willing to throw together and then make a really big deal about giving it away. And if we don't want to do it for number 5,000 then we do another random drawing open to all active members.

I know that not everyone is active that registers and that is fine. But, I still thing that 5,000 is a huge milestone for us in well less than a year of being up and running and I'd sure like to play it to the hilt.

What do you guys think?

BTW...we are 40 people or less right now in catching BDWF as far as total registered members go....just thought I would add that. __________________ Michael

I wouldn't ask for any "additional" prizes right now.

Let's keep it to the WGOM for a little while. __________________

OK...can I ask why? Is it because of the check that he wrote or something else? __________________ Michael
