Hello all...
I have been pondering something...
how about if we did some sort of a "Member of the month" type of incentive?
We could all come up with a prize to give away each month. something reasonable. obviously not a 1 watt blue laser or anything. mirror mounts, PBS cubes, Dichros, dinner gift cards...anything. just some sort of an incentive to keep this community and its users active and keep the focus of the posts and substance here more educational and more "Professional."
just an example...
-Nov 30 we all here decide as to what the prize will be. (for this example...lets say (2) 25mm dichros)
-i, or adam, or DZ or ANYONE here we all trust set up a paypal account for each member to donate or "pay" for the cost of the prize. it would be what, maybe $1 each?? or $1.50?? JUST enough to pay for the prize and shipping.
-we purchase the item(s) either from me, dave, bridge, LSP, ANYONE. (This ISNT for me to sell LaserWave items!!) it can be a prize from any company. i dont care.
-at the end of the months we *ALL* decide who the most helpful, suppportive or helping, member is. and they win the prize!?!?
we ALL decide before hand as to the specifics. obviously this is just in my head right now. but i have seen MANY members (DZ, Adam, Mecheng, mixedgas...etc...etc...) who have gone WELLLLLLLLL above and beyond what this forum is all about.
I have seen many new members come along and be a VERY positive additojn here. i just think something like this will relly spark some good things.
any thoughts??
