IMO you would have to state that up front however. You can't change that right before week 17.

Sure that makes sense but F em, what do they bring to the site other than 5 minutes to submit their pics. Are they brining content, are they bringing new people, clicking on advertisers anything at all but looking at not even naked women? They'd be fired if this was their job. I doubt Mike will actually disinclude them, like he even knows who they are or how to pay them, but it just pisses me off that some members that are active and contribute could lose out to these people.

i like money but beers will win first place...me, 4th...

mike does this contest as a way to bring in new members and its a good thought but all they do is submit there picks and disappear...so unfortunately the plan isn't working....open it to only active members so if they really wanna play and win, they have to post..not spam post either

I don't disagree, and next year we can always set it up like that. Which i think Meik should do for sure. However, we have no idea how much advertising they are clicking on. But, yeah my guess would be very little.

its like christmas on the rant for ssigs lol.


Its simple the contest is and investment in the business, so you want the best ROI (return on investment)(that was for mike to understand ). Simply paying out that investment to someone who is not a factor in the business means negative ROI. Simply bad business and those people SUCK! Why can't he change his mind when he wants, its his business, he already had to reduce the amount of winnings since the ROI was already going to be negative in the first place.

Ssigs, nice try, but lets be honest, I don't see our pics differing much this week. Congrats!
