SMD System of the Month - Cancelled until further notice.

[meade916]

due to low turn out on the SOTM contests, with regret, i am cancelling it for the time being.

Thanks for all that participate whether it is voting or nominations. I wish this wasn't the case but with only 14 entries for a $450 prize this month (for example), it is a monumental waste of time and money to keep doing this. It isn't ALL bad, at least i had the opportunity to give away THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars in prizes over the last 8 years

Maybe ill do it again another time if people start showing interest again.

in the meantime, you can place your vote for the last SOTM here: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194350-december-2014-sotm-vote-sponsored-by-mechman-alternators-enter-to-win-449-towards-any-mechman-alternator/

thanks!

SOTM needed to be promoted yet people cried about it when people would post on FB..

Sad day

The little banner under my name will be the ONLY reward I'll EVER need when I finally decide to enter(assuming it ever comes back).

nobody "cried" because it was posted on FB. They probably cried when people who didn't give two shit's about that person in particular voted for said person. I encourage you guys to post on FB but i almost NEVER saw any true support for SOTM from anyone outside of here. If you do it strictly to get random votes from random people than yes, people will bitch. But if you genuinely are trying to get new faces that love car audio to come in, stay a while and participate then that is ok. If someone from FB comes in and votes for a build he really likes instead of "helping you win" i see no problem with that.

i feel like i better close this now before i get the "this is the reason" or "this would make it better" posts. Maybe someday i will come up with something that will make some of you happy but most certainly people will still complain regardless. It is 1000% impossible to have any contest without a portion of the people still unhappy and "think" they have a better way.

only the future will tell.

but i HIGHLY thank the people who actively participated, those who did so month after month and never won, and never complained........those who did win and eventually put winnings to good use.....and also those who won but donated their winnings to someone else. It's been fun!

Sucks that the turn out went to shit. I enjoyed doing SOTM. Maybe we can have something in the future but the lack of interest has been a demise that I have for seen for a bit.

Congrats to all the winners through out the years. Steve, we will keep in contact, hopefully coming up with a new idea later on down the road.
