Excellent Competion again Peter. It would be nice to see more members voting though

 

[woodhacker]

As Vic said an excellent competition with some gorgeous turned pens. Alas like most elections there was a poor turnout.

Excellent Competion again Peter. It would be nice to see more members voting though

I am surprised that more members don't even look at the competition thread, there seems to be a hard core who never look at it, never mind don't enter it or vote, you can lead a horse to water etc

I for one wouldn't be bothered if I received an email telling me about upcoming competitions and also about voting.
I think its an important part of the forum, it's pushed me into trying new techniques and new ideas....

 

[Penpal]

Aristotle had the answer when you want you will do anything possible to acheive that end. I try to support the end result is sharing. Thanks Peter.

Peter.

Thanks for the organization Peter.
When running something as open as a forum, one has to be prepared to see numerous people just passing by, taking without participating, that's life. But I understand it can be frustrating.

 

[Buckeye]

If it was just people passing by it wouldn't be an issue, it's the one's who have been members for a while, who actually post their pens, they want and receive praise for what they have made, but don't support the very same people who have supported their efforts. They tend to post on various Forums seeking an ego stroke, but I can't be bothered reading the same post for the 2nd. or 3rd. time.
