Hi Joe,

Thanks for the support and pointers.

We are constantly looking for ways to interest new members and old to participate in the POTW as voters and to nominate their friends in the new polls.

I too prefer the weekly poll for many reasons and one of them certainly is John Partingtons JP award.

I've been considering this poll for a while now but this week when there were no new nominations I decided this was the right time to do it.

One would think that past POtWs would be amongst the weekly voters and supporters of this forum.

MANY of them are BUT more aren't. That in itself is quite disappointing but many might have had an agenda in receiving the award and then just went to greener pastures. Very sad in my humble opinion.

We will continue to do all we can to get more people involved and in this way build up the forum to what it once was.

Thanks & Shalom,

Peter

Hi Jim,

It will be interesting to see what the outcome will be. Needless to say that the poll is just an indicator of what people think and the final decision will be ours to make when we see and read all that our supporters have to say.

Shalom,

Peter

Hi Peter, Jim and Ana,

Peter, thank you! 

I agree with Joe and Heidi - I need to resend my vote which was to make it a monthly event and keep it weekly - It's been a weekly recognition forever and should remain so - I don't know what I was thinking except for the hard work that you guys put into it.  Adland is usually a bit slower over the summer months.  If we make a plan, as Joe suggested to rekindle interest, then as the activity on ALP increases as it always does over the winter months the activity in the forum will increase too.

I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep it alive and well - so let me know.

Now, Peter, I am a friend of the POTW - is the Featured Person of the week a whole other forum?  Maybe we are spreading this award and recogniton thing too thin?  I don't know.  I fell into the forum with Gabby as the FPOTW by accident the other day.  I did not receive a notification of it.  So - send the links and I will join up.

Peace !

Judy

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your loyal support. I can appreciate your frustration at not receiving notifications and I went through the same thing over the past few weeks.

Once the issues were resolved I started getting emails again and I get yours all the time. I don't think being a free member has anything to do with it. I am a member of your forum and therefor I get the emails.

Thanks again for your support & Shalom,

Peter

Hi Heidi,

I understand your point and it is a valid one. As you know one of the rules is that a person can be POTW only once. It is a thought and can be brought to the table again. Thanks for bringing it up.

When Adland was experiencing its "problems" Bogdan told me it was a yahoo issue. So I change to a gmail email BUT i never got the verification email. I changed it back to yahoo and got the verification email. So the problems were more then just issues with yahoo. As of this moment I'm getting emails on a steady basis (with yahoo) until the next time. :)

Shalom,

Peter
