    TrainBoard drama. I was booted from a forum once. Was never notified I was or why I was just got a "banned" message when I would try to log in. The folks at TB seem to be very reasonable so im sure their reasons are sound.

    Looks like I'm going to have to make a x2 and x3 icon to supplement the Photowinner for you guys who've won multiple times. [​IMG]

    Congratulations. This is one of my favorite photos ever. As for multiple winner icons. Although I have more than one win, I don't think I want to see this modeling contest go that direction. In fact I would like to have the winner sit out for two weeks. This lets others take their shot at wild fame and fortune! Cheers, Jim CCRR

    Thanks to everyone who voted for mine, and congratulations to all other entrants who have some fine work! If two excellent Z scalers hadn't withdrawn it probably would have been a different story.

    I'm with you Jim, let's keep the Contest fun for everyone and let folks from all levels feel like they can join in on the fun. We have a Radio Station here that on Friday's the folks that call in on contests early can't have ever won before. If folks don't feel like they have a chance to win they won't even try and that's not what TB is all about.

    Congratulations, mikelhh! :thumbs_up: Heck, I thought I was walking away with this contest. Maybe that was in my dreams or something. I didn't have any good track like the others, so I just took an artsy picture. :D

    I have responded to the new post about the rules, and I respectfully ask all who read here to have a good hard think on what I have posted there. Please.

    Mike, I would hate to have to go through the most insipid of competitions and to have to vote for a single entry that wasn't the last minute submission and decision change that yours appears to have been. I think it was an outstanding photo, even if you may still be a bit perplexed over how it all went 'down'. (I don't for a minute think you are.)

    Please, Admin Staff and honchos of particular themes, don't water down the strength of our group. Don't prohibit those who can submit outstanding images from doing so simply because they are good. At the risk of offending anyone here, that is what socialism is all about. It holds back the truly able by arbitrary means such as those proposed, and tries to impose an unatural regression to the mean. If any of you would like me to explain that last sentence, just holler. :pbaffled:
