I liked PTOW and was really chuffed the one and only time I won and would like to see it back - but its got to be easy.
I've been here since the begining and use the forum mostly to look at other peoples work, gain inspiration from it and to show off some of my own efforts. I comment on what I like and for the most part they are "good shot" comments because unless I "know" someone well I am cautious of critique that may not be taken the way its meant and I wouldn't wish to offend. Thats one of the good things about this site - its friendly and there is no bitching etc.
So how to raise PTOW from the dead. Well for a start 6400 members is irrelevant because no-one ever un-joins a site so that is how many there have been since Dec 2005 - not how many there are now. Reallistically if you look at posters in the forum we might be around 100 or so.
I have sympathy with Postcard's view that the Mods can't do this themselves it has to come from us and as with any club I have ever been in there are a small number of people that do the work and plenty that think it could be done better.
One of the problems I have with selecting a PTOW/PTOM is that I haven't found an easy way to review the last 7/30 days worth of input. (If there is one someone tell me). Generally I would select from those I have commented on and if I could pull them up and run through them I could then allocate a choice. (Bit like the DPReview slideshow voting system) Alternatively a button to allocate a score out of 5/10 alongside the image which then acumulated to an automatic result would work for me as I could do it at the same time as I commented.
Alternatively very happy to join a team where one person is responsible for a given week as has been suggested earlier. Certainly as a non-tech solution this has to be worth a try whilst the site staff look a clever "options"
