What happened to FOTM and ROTM?

[JarrydA]

Where did they go? I enjoyed the challenge of going for the FOTM and i also think that the ROTM made more people actually report.

A case of a few too many looking gift horses in the mouth I believe, Jarryd.

Even admin need to consider reward for effort on occasion.

No doubt something will replace the monthly forum comps eventually.

[JarrydA]

No worries Brian.

Cheers.

What about a member of the month recognising those who not only post good reports but also helpful replies and suggestions/tips?

I dont quite understand what you are meaning by this?

A bunch of people wingeing about what they get for free is not rewarding. The effort required to gain sponsors and provide the platform is time consuming.

At the end -

Effort - Reward = < 0

Time - whingers = no ROTM or FOTM comps

Serious???????? You post up the report cause you want to boast and show off your pics. If you get a packet of plastics or a hardbody as a result, its a bonus!

Not that I ever fish, or report ;-)

Generally speaking the number of entries had diminished right to the point where several months saw 0 made on quite common species.

If there is serious interest (I might do a poll) I might try to kick it back off this year.

It may not seem like it but a fair bit of effort goes on behind the scenes to get the posts up, articles up, prizes sorted etc and when the participation is reduced to at most a half dozen people, well it's academic.

The same principle goes for tangible events as well.

We are quick to get hit up for more events, and to quick to get criticized if we decide not to run one. However events are subject to attendance and support. As much as we would love to run the full quota of events, this will not happen if the numbers are not there.

Lets make the Summer Classic a big one
