Hadn't checked total group number in awhile. Up to 79 members now. It's really interesting to see the variety of music people listen to. I get stuck for ideas on what new cds to get so scanning play lists of others helps me find new stuff.
If you don't mind pms, you could have people nominate who they think deserves it and why. Set a cut off date for nominations, then from those nominations you choose 5 - 10 or however many you wish, to compete in a skills test or race of your choosing. The winner gets the gift of a license.
If you do mind pms, you can have them nominate people in a thread. You have the power to remove the rambling, flaming posts to keep things friendly and tidy.
Keep it simple and fun so you don't create more work for yourself.

edit: You could even include S1 racers and just give them the gift of an upgrade voucher.
The intentions of this thread were good... they just kinda got derailed by the insulting and negativeness.
I don't see the problem with just being nice and giving someone a license for no other reason than it's a nice thing to do. I don't see a problem in having some sort of competition where people can win a license. I only had a problem with people insulting faster 111 and casting a negative image on what started out as a positive thing.
If people want to help buy him one... that's fine. If they don't that's fine too. It's also fine if he and others are given chances to earn them. If you disagree with me then 'that's fine too'. I just don't see the need to keep making digs at eachother over something like this.
If you don't like how he writes or what he says... then you'll be in the group not opening up wallets. What's the problem?
psst darlin don't get defensive. I didn't single anyone out. I just said some people. No, don't shut up. Forums would get boring if nobody talked. It's just people keep saying the forums have gone downhill with all the negative stuff, so why not take things uphill for once.
Just because he may or may not be desperate for a license, doesn't make it okay to be so rude. What's going on in this thread with some people is not helpful or encouraging at all. It's purely insulting digs being taken at faster 111's expense.
I'm all for helping promote goodwill in the LFS community... but how is insulting someone doing that?
Some of you have clearly gone over the top with things. You totally insult faster 111 and want him to jump through hoops like a monkey, purely for your own amusement in order to get a license as a gift from you.
What makes you think he'd even accept it after the way you're treating him.
okay lovely one, you won, you wound them up. Now it's time to let it go and move on.
I've watched you grow and mature a lot over the last year or so, don't start back pedaling now.
You knew you'd probably get banned from uploading any more hotlaps so when it happened I'm sure it wasn't too much of a shock. Whatever your reason for doing it in the first place was, it's null now.
I hope you're only joking about the momo wheel, but if you aren't... you now have funky wall art to hang up in your room.
I'm sure you'll still catch some flack from people for what you did, but it's not the end of the world. You'll just have to try a little harder to show them you aren't really a bad kid, you just have occasional brat spurts. Take it from me, I know. I have them myself. Maybe it's a result of not having enough cookies?
Pssst hey KiDCoDEa, can we maybe have a 'happy holiday' thread to go along with the birthday one? It would be interesting to see what holidays are celebrated around the world.
I must say I half expected the forum to explode into confetti today when I opened it since it is _the_ big day a certain someone has been building up to.
:balloons:HAPPY BIRTHDAY XCNUSE:balloons:
:rock_band :birthday: :cake: resent:
I hope it was worth the wait and that you have a fantastic day. :static:
