And the winner is ...... JIMMY!!!!!


The prizes are so awesome that to prevent ANY mischief, even though I'd like all the prizes myself - and make things as honest and open as possible, no one who joined the forum after the closing date will now be able to vote on the entries. Not entirely fair to genuine new users, but this will curb any temptation to create multiple accounts and vote for yourself - which is a bit naughty really.

Can I start an election campaign and get all my friends to vote for me???
Oh, right, I'm not a member long enough for anyone to know me

Just to say; I'm not getting much of a warm fuzzy 'welcome' feeling from these new-poster comments

Ed, I'm talking about people registering multiple accounts to vote for themselves - someone pointed out some information to me yesterday so I 'took some action' to make things fair. Nothing of course to do with genuine new members, since they are very welcome. I'm very happy if someone wants to join oOple to enter the competition - that's fantastic.

Thanks Jimmy, the name is erik btw.
I knew what you referred to and was talking more about the general protectionist tone of others. The response you made on the situation was perfectly 'gentleman'.
I'm not out to make ennemies here, just pointing out we're all guests on Jimmy's site and should be respectfull to eachother, especially to new members we have no real knowledge on.

A bit off-topic, but since this thread has many readers it's a good place to call out: besides Jimmy , were any of you guys at the 2007 Ifmar WC'S in Japan? Maybe we have met?

Send me a PM with the name of the poster who submitted your favourite photo, and I'll add all the votes together then submit the favourites forward for a public poll.

Don't forget to get your votes into me this weekend, today is the deadline so tomorrow I should be creating the poll.

Thanks to everyone who has voted so far!

On the other hand would it be fair to exclude new members? There are plenty of people who join oOple but never post anything as well.
Though it's not hard to find out who's photo is who's - I didn't use any names on the polls to try avoid any bias.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll have a new competition at some point in the near future! Signed sticker from Masami anyone? - signed tshirt by masami, hayato, cragg, cavalieri, maifield, tebo etc.... ? signed yellow wheels from pinisch!? we've got loads of junk to give away!
