New Guidelines for Weekly Fun Question

[cobra3073]

Good Day All!

After some reflections and coordination, it has been decided to revamp the Weekly Fun Question (WFQ) process to try and make it more entertaining and to encourage more participation.

Effective immediately, a member who correctly respond to the WFQ on three (3) different occasions will have his/her entry fee paid to become a VIP member. The "count" is retroactive so if you were a previous winner, your previous correct response(s) will also be considered toward the "three" correct responses.

While VIP members may also respond to the question (for bragging rights), they are NOT in competition with regular members for the WFQ award. The Periodic Fun Question (PFQ), where monetary and other awards will be given for the correct response, will henceforth ONLY be posted on the VIP Forum which means ONLY VIP members will be eligible for that award.

To ensure fairness, the responses to the WFQ and the PFQ are to be sent via PM to Barry (rocketfoot) and myself (cobra3073). The first member whose received response is deemed correct will be declared the "winner."

For the near term, I will continue to post the questions at approximately 7:00 PM (CST) on Saturday with the posting of the "winner" the following Monday at the same time (7:00 PM {CST}). I will make every effort to ensure the questions are relevant and will also provide source documentation when responses are contested. In some cases, the questions will come from information discussed and/or otherwise posted on the site.

Please keep in mind that this is an evolving situation as Staff and some VIP members are looking at a number of other initiatives to enhance member's positive experiences on the Site. We are open to additional suggestions and/or comments.

Thanks!

Great idea, BT.

If you guys keep this up, I may have to get rid of the TV for lack of use!

Good Day All:

In line with the first post, below is amplification on the procedures to be utilized in the "Periodic Fun Question" (PFQ) exercise. We are implementing these procedures as a reward to the VIP members whose 25$ paid membership has been instrumental in our ability to maintain and administer the Site.

As previously noted, the PFQ differ from the WFQ (Weekly Fun Question) in that participation is limited to the Non-Moderator members with access to the VIP Forum. It has been decided that the PFQ will be in play at least three (3) times this year - - in the months of February, June and October and will be co-sponsored by our three Vendors (OMS, Motor City Mustang and CJ Pony Parts).

The first VIP Forum access member who responds correctly to the question will be awarded a Site-donated 50$ store credit at OMS or CJ Pony Parts, dependent upon which Vendor is co-sponsoring the PFQ for that month. Mike at Motor City Mustang has agreed to have his 50$ store credit donated to one of the other two Vendors (PFQ Winner's choice) as he only deals in used parts.

OMS is co-sponsoring the first (February) PFQ of 2011, and Don (at OMS) has signed up to add an additional 50$ store credit to the Site-donated 50$ for a 100$ store credit with OMS to the "winner."

To ensure the fairness and competitiveness of the exercise, I will post the date and approximate time for the generation of the PFQ at least a week prior to the exercise.

Thank You!

Sounds great, BT. Can't wait to see how the first PFQ turns out.

I think most of us are somewhere between Jeapordy and Wheel of Fortune. On Jeapordy, it's like Mr. Inoit from the town of Brainiac saying I'll take stuff only I know for $100 Alex. While on Wheel it's... let me think if I know the letters of the alphabet.

I'm hoping for the goldie locks question. Not too hard, not too easy. Just right....

Consider this a "HEADS UP" for everyone!

The first Periodic Fun Question (PFQ) under the NEW procedures is tentatively scheduled to be posted at approximately 7:00 P.M. (CST) on Saturday, February 12, 2011. To recap, the PFQ is open ONLY to VIP members.

As a reward to the "winner" of the PFQ for February, the Site has donated a $50.00 in-store credit with Ohio Mustang Supply (OMS). Don at OMS has stated he will match that for a total in-store credit of $100.00.

Anyone considering VIP membership might want to consider making a subscription prior to that time. VIP members should mark their calendars!

I highly recommend becoming a VIP member and giving it a shot, especially since Tnfastbk isn't allowed to compete any more. Nice prizes in these
