    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

It's just a matter of time before something similar to the Photobucket debacle
happens again. Just one of the multiple free picture hosting services stops,
or charges a fee, and we lose a lot of valuable info again.

I managed a website for GS enthousiasts before, and there are a
huge number of useless threads there now without the
pictures that helpful answers rely on.

just my 2 cents ..
 
I am going to vote for NUGGETDAD. I'd love to have a framed 12"X36" print of all them Kats in a row. That is wall art! 👍
 
Let me know if I missed anyone...
I did not see Mrs. Steve's picture. :-k


EDIT: Looking back through the posts, I don't see it there, either.
I know it got posted, I helped her post it.

Oh, well, it probably would not have gathered any interest, let alone votes, anyway.
dunno.gif


SECOND EDIT: Found the problem. PhotoBucket is down. :oops:

My vote is for Rich. I like the composition, the framing, the coloring and the sharp focus as well as its creativity with the "tank" theme. The lightest and heaviest of powered vehicles, the one in front of the other. And the operators of both wear a helmet.

If vote was for most stunning it would be NuggetsDad's Katorama for sure.
...
 
Saturday! Here is my count:

One vote each, Sandy, Mr. G, Burque73, and Baatfam
Three votes for Rich and his tanks...

And with 7 total votes, nuggetsdad for the clear win...
What will be our holiday theme, mr. dad?

And a reminder to all....
Friday is voting day. Vote for the picture you like the most. You can vote even if you didn't participate with a pic during the week. (voting closes at midnight, Pacific time zone).

And I just wanted to say sorry to Trevor and Mrs. Steve.
Neither of you got a fair shot this week.

(Grrrgrumble...Photo*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$et..got us again...ffs):mad:
 
Would my observation be correct?
THe previous week Mr Nuggestdad posted a couple pictures (seemily not matching the theme) andhe said something like he was just practicing/learning how to post pictures. And this week he post a pic, and is the winner by a vast amount.
Is this the first occassion of of a relative newcommer, posting first picture of the game, and is the winner?

I think so.

Congratulations Mr Nuggestsdad.
What do you have for us this comming week....?
Note: IT is important to state the theme-category, not just provide a sample picture.

Killramsey won the April 20 2019 contest with his first entry. The theme was "Spring" and his photo was apple tree blossoms.
It was not a landslide, though -- he was either neck-and-neck or maybe even tied with a Mr. Redman, whose entry was daffodils.
His join date to GSR was April 3, 2019.
So there is precedent :)

Thanks for the specifics Kerry. Looking back, now I see, .... Dooaahh... (Man, that is all the better my memory is)....yah, now I see, we were tied at 5 each, but I deferred (*) to him, now I remember, I deferred to him, mostly as a "welcome" since he was a new member and first time participant in the POW.
And, now I see, his last post was about two weeks later.


*(I think the spreadsheet format doesn't allow for recording such)

Note: I have PMed Mr Nuggatsdad to inform him of his win, and prompt him for naming the next category-theme.

>> Later Note: and now, about 8 hours later, I have emailed also.

Agreed. That was unfortunate. I did like both of those pics while they were visible.

The winning pic reminded me of an infinity mirror type image. I hope Nuggetsdad is just enjoying an afternoon ride, maybe looking for a new theme. It's after 4pm there now, but already Sunday. If we dont get a new theme tomorrow, Sunday in the western hemisphere, I say the runner up should choose a new theme.

I can't remember the last time we had a no show winner. Jedz was off gettin hitched and had a slow response, but still within the weekend I think. Maybe another time the winner was away from a computer, but still checked in and the runner up set the theme.

Any Aussies nearby who can knock on his door?

I'll try and highlight the bullet point in the first post that says if you submitted a pic to check back on Saturday.

I say if the winner does not provide another "pic of the week" by Saturday night we just go to the second place winner. Btw it's tough crowd when apic of super bike legend Wes Cooley signing a tank in a "best tank pic" doesn't even get a sniff on a GS forum no less......lol...you guys do know who he is...right?? Not one vote....lol :p But yes a bunch of Kat tanks are nice...I guess. :rolleyes:
 
Agreed. Rich should post up a new theme this AM, if we don't hear from ND....

Nah...

It's a photo contest, not a celebrity contest....LOL...:)

Light, subject, composition...
 
I’ll have to wait till I get back from church then choir practice, might be around 1pm Eastern, if nuggetsdad doesn’t show up til then.
