What's going on with that? Why isn't Pipes on there (Or why not updated since then)? I was just thinking about if anyone came a long say since the last and Pipes came to mind.

Hey Random_Stranger
I have wondered about updated rides also...
So I just dismissed it for a few reasons ( which I know you can claer up ).

IDK what it takes to be a feature so I thought:
What has been done that is unique?
Who has a 6GC that is 100% factory and still looks " New "?
Who has a 6GC with the most mods?
Is this one of the items that is beyond current Moderator Controll?
How would 1 be featured with no " sibbling rivalry " over another?

These are the kind of things that cross my mind from time to time.
With so many quality 6GCs, I too would like to see some sort of up date.

Sorry for blah blah blah

Thanks

Uh, good luck getting the featured ride thing to even happen. That's Coomer's domain.

once chris allows me to manage things, the featured ride will change. (somthing i have been asking him to change for a LONNNNGGG time.)
i've actually been thinking about how we want to do that.

im thinking that we will change the featured ride once every 3 months.
4 cars a year.
keeps it a privlage to be there, but not so few that noone has a chance.
once a month is too often, and not long enough to feature a car, IMO.

what are your thoughts?

I agree that once a month is too much.


Perhaps we can do a quarterly featured ride, and maybe a "Celica Of The Month" sort of thing in the Multimedia forum. People submit pics and a little background info on their Celica, then the mods make a poll, and we all vote. Much like the Top Scoob on nasioc. It can be stickied at the top of the forum and have links back to all previous winners.

I think it would be tight if its once a month.. and people can vote who should be there.. but you cant vote for yourself.. maybe the person with the most featured ride awards a year can get more pics to add or something.. just a little suggestion

While I like the once a month idea, I dont think that there are that many "rides" that would qualify to do it that often. I kind of like once every three months, or every other month. I do like the idea of the end of year winner getting something extra (more pics is a great idea, cover of the calender...although im not sure whats involved in that other than voting). Not that I'd ever make it either way, that's just my opinion.

Yes, I like this (WTF, I'm agreeing with you?). There are many, many good pictures posted in the 'Post a pic of your 6GC thread' and some don't get recognition. The Featured Ride will remain a pretty exclusive honor if done four times a year, and those that might not make the cut for that can get some recognition with CotM.

I think quarterly is perfect.

If we wanted to do a monthly "voted car of the month" in the multimedia section, that would be cool too, because it would be the "car of the month" but not take away from a quarterly Featured Ride which IMHO is higher recognition.

And yeah, Pipes' car should DEFINITELY be the next Featured Ride biggrin.gif

quarterly is what it will be.
featured ride will continue to be the mods decision.
if someone wants to set up a celica of the month thread in the multimedia forum, that'd be great as well.
i can sticky it and what not.

also, i think we should appoint someone to create the thread each month so that everyone can submit theyre pics, then have that person create the poll for everyone to vote on.
once the 6gc of the month is chosen, i will edit theyre pics and whatever into the sticky.

So do you want a thread each month? I thought this would be ongoing in one thread, with all the submissions posted and then one final post by you or Luke stating the winner, with the winning picture(s) and car specifications. The poll can be wiped each month, and then the selection will start again after each post by you or Luke. Know what I mean?

I like the idea of a new thread each month, then lock and archive/save the old for reference
