    Sleep! Who needs Sleep!

    I am working the night shift on a Rig up in ND right now. I generally sleep from around 6am to 12 noon or so each day. Working, getting ready for work, etc. the rest of the time.

    Wow! Now I am really tired!

    Good Luck to all the Nominees we have a great group of cars again this month!

    I'm all for helping the helpless, but I don't give a rat's ass about the clueless anymore.

    Lots of people looking but not many voting this month. Kind of makes me think this ROTM thing is getting old. Just saying not trying to start any issues on here.

    I'm not complaining about it either, but it does seem like a low number of votes. I noticed the same thing.... 478 views.... 59 votes. It could be non members viewing the thread on the net, but not able to vote (I know Tapatalk has it listed in their live feeds, anyone can view it). It is also a bit buried in the show and tell Forum. Perhaps a forum heading dedicated to the ROM stickied to the top would help generate votes from casual FEP viewers.

    Stickies are not always helpful either, how many times have we had to point someone to read a sticky lol, they get glanced over.
    I had set in the control board so that any vote would still bump the thread and mark it new/unread so that it stays up on the list, providing people are voting.....dunno...I thought that "might" be the best way to keep it active.

    Jeff, I did notice it reclimbing the unread posts with every vote, good thinking!

    Quality cars of various stripes, I can't explain the low vote count!

    With over 500 views, it should be higher?

    Maybe try a monthly PM blast to all FEP members about the ROM contest?

    So when they sign on, they get a heads up message / link.

    I always click on the 'new posts' after checking out my subscribed threads. Still I sometimes miss this thread. Bumping it up after each vote seems like a good idea.

    That is the way I have had it set since we rolled out ROTM again.

    Congratulations to 1986Saleen as the winner of this month's Ride of the Month.

    I am closing this thread and hope to have the new ROTM feature up as soon as possible.

    Thanks again to all the nominees, all the members nominating, and all voting members.
