I am not going to send out a newsletter for this years contest at all. I say we just do it and see who joins. If we set it up without any newsletter then I would say that it would just be for the regular members

Just my two cents

I created a usergroup to join for this years pool. If you go to usercp > group memberships > 2007 NFL Picks Of The Week

It is public and can be joined by anyone but you have to join this to be able to participate. It is automatic, nothing to approve

Then what the hell did we waste time on the phone for, and why did I waste my time doing this thread? This would have been great to tell me 3 days ago.

So much for "I'll do whatever the members want to do".

EDIT - LMAO, and even Meik voted for active members only, but makes it open to everyone. DOH!

My opinion has always been that only active members are allowed to participate OR win the prize. The number of people who were involved last year that NEVER posted not even once was amazing...they don't contribute jack shit to the site yet they have the opportunity to win a prize? Active only...we know who they are screw the pansy ass non posters.

well let me clarify that. I made the joining of the user group to public, there is no approval for being a member of the 2007 picks of the week user group, does that make sense?

I got it the first time... we discussed this on friday. We were going to see what everyone wanted. But you just made it open to everyone, where people who do nothing here can win again. You could have just told me this and saved me time from starting this useless thread.

Okay i get your point and missed that part of our conversation Jay

Go ahead and make it so you have to be approved in that usergroup to participate

Sorry about that!
