Tho with the lack of membership it became obvious that I would have to fork out all the cash to pull it off, with little expectation of getting enough funds to pay me back... Something I can't exactly afford... Tanks are rather harder to pull off little prizes. Unlike winning a set of say tires on RCC or Scale4x4, which anyone can use or sell. Whats a Blizzard track set going to help a HL guy? or Tamiya? The same heads the other way as well... A Mato tank is easier to pull off then a Blizzard (roughly 1/2 the cost) But is there enough people actually willing to fork out some cash for tickets? You almost need to run 3 separate groups. Blizzards / HL / Tamiya. That would be the only way to make everyone happy. Now I am not suggesting this happen just I think its the only way to make it work. In the begining picture contests would be cool as it would help get things moving. Maybe we should get a ride of the month (or three) going. Even without a prize it would help get things going. I can even rebuild the banner to incorporate the picture like Scale4x4 does. Tho I won't say I am even close to Riks skills. A Hilight on the main page is easy as well. Maybe a small article about the vehicle / person / mods with a few pics would take off. We can very easily make up a few questions for the winner to answer that could be turned into a small article. Another idea that may work is to do what RCC does and have a monthly giveaway. Say Blizzard brake kits, maybe Spoon could whip up a couple Blizzard braces or something. Then start a thread and members can reply to win. It does get people to become members at least over there. If you chose not to become a member then theres no reason to complain about not being able to enter. Once the money was there then maybe we could start doing a HL raffle or whatever. I don't care if the site makes money but I would prefer not to have to have the site constantly hitting me in the pocketbook.
