Moderation will eliminate pr0n and shit, and since it's not a contest (ie: no real winners), no popularity contests. Also, maybe if a pic gets too many 1 or 2 star rankings, it's automatically deleted from the mix. Only rule is, it's gotta be MC related. If nobody uses it, there will be one static pic on the front. If everyone uses it, we will have a randomly generated picture every time we log in.

Not sure if that's even possible, but I think it satisfies the want of a front page pic and frees up Marko's time. Hell, if he wants to take a week off, all the pics in queue just sit and wait. Fuck 'em.

More or less what I had in mind

I say how about submissions go to marko via PM... then he puts out the poll with no screen names attached to eliminate the "popularity contest"

also if you allow Any time pictures to be posted, yes you'll have a lot from a year ago... but eventually they'll run out... and new stuff will have to be taken...

I think if we made this into a slide show for the front page like "ADVrider" it may invite more participation.

I think some of you are missing the part that Marko/Trip doesn't want to Fuck with this anymore. Why don't you do it? In fact, I nominate Ebb to be in charge of potm.

The bike requirement makes most of the entries pretty contrived. I know very few people, myself included, that take pictures of their bike regularly. I bet if the poll was based on ANY picture, you'd see more participation and some amazing shots. Probably a few with bikes in them too.

I agree with Faster,

Open it up to Anything...Not just bikes, granted its a Bike forum but we all like awesome shots of whatever dont we?

I'll gladly take over POTM...I'd hate to see it die.
