Excellent to hear, @MattyBear. Perhaps we will form an informal task force to promote voting in all active contests.
Maybe use the contest chat room to host a daily message with links to all open polls.

Popping by really quickly to thank those who voted for me. I may not have a big fancy grow, but I’ve got a cute doggo in my thread, and I’m sure he pulled in the votes!

I voted first time around. Been on Lows journal for socializing and such. Great scenic photos, food, and guy can grow too.
The other 2 nominees i havent yet. Sorry.
The guys/gals who answer random threads that have a note book of text book answers or options i tried to read.
Anything sir Newt mentions will be spot on, Beardless and a host of others. I gravitated to a bunch of those.
How do you judge a journal? Growing? Social butterfly? Knowledge imparted?
One thing this family isnt short on, sucessful growers and the variety in which they are grown.
I’m trying to clone from a Fieldofdreams. Picture of a homade cloning bucket i saw recently. Kap, insert laughter here.
Personally, voting on any journal is like eating Lays potatoe chips, cant just have one.
My .02 cents
@Fiz congrats,

@kaptain3d. Are you laughing because I’m trying to grow? Or copying off of Senor Dream? 
Love having you around, your part of the heartbeat around here.

Just like judging the BOM contest. Everyone thinks the bud pic they voted for is the best, yet other photos win. It’s all in the eye of the beholder and voter. That’s the beauty of having a vote IMO. It’s all subjective, so let’s just embrace it for what it is and have fun with it. No system is perfect but it’s a way for others who might be new to get to see what other journals people are enjoying and getting good information or value from so they might gain something too.
I’d be way more concerned if one thread got all the votes.
Also, each member can only win this contest one time. So each month will have a new winner.
Hope that helps clear things up

Am I the only one that is surprised and a bit disappointed with the voting turn out for the Journal Of the Month?
There are literally 100’s of folks that frequent the nominated journals. We barely get an average of two votes per nomination.
I for one think that the JOM is a great idea and had hoped that there would be a great many more folks interested in casting their vote.
Each and every entry is deserving of recognition which makes it a tough choice but we should still recognize the journals that have helped us, entertained us or just provided some distraction from the daily grind.
There are still a few days left before the poll closes.

Perhaps it’s too late for the current contest, maybe there might be more voter participation if the votes were private? I could easily be wrong.

What gets me is that a lot of people are bitching every now and then about the fact that ILGM were only giving back to growers using their seeds. This contest is the moderator’s way of giving back to anybody, regardless of what they grow…
If not enough people participate, the mods won’t get the budget to keep it going, imo…
Whatever happens, I want to thank all the @moderators for their efforts! Good job gang!
