YotaTech 2008 Calendar voting thread/poll

[Corey]

The new year is fast approaching us, it is time to vote! One vote per person. Members will vote on the top 10, then staff will pick the last two entries. We have quite a few here, there were a ton of them to pick from. Some were not landscaped pictures as we requested, they were of portrait orientation, so those had to be turned down. Also please note that the name of the member will appear above the picture, not below it. We do not have a cutoff time yet when the poll will close, we will discuss that, then I will update this post here with that information at a later date. Also some have been confused about the number showing up next to the members name where you vote. That number is the post order in which the picture was pulled from Molly's thread where we submitted the pictures. Voting shall cease after I lock the poll Saturday morning the 17th. Get your votes in now. This year I would say we have some very nice entries. We thank you for your submissions. blown4runner96 waskillywabbit AxleIke Corey BT17R NoWorries GlowinToyota awesumdc crolision illtoy elvota marcP Tofer traben27 ziggy blowntaco uberyota jmazoso spindleshanks Tonkatoy cubuffrunner sean_at_tlt tc dibble9012 hhog4dc moontime shoua prodigy lysmachia KevinInSac chewey46 hanksyota JoKEpLaYeR Belize Off Road Team ADH8796 r854rnr WCorbett fillsrunner4 timstoy10 Okiyota Dublin wormhole nathan751 b82ta3 DeathCougar pennywize Crux westy44runner SteveO Jacket byron4 Fo_SheeZy 4x4runner97 97Limited Joe's Toy the_4runnin'_beast rowdy235 <96 Runner> geTBeNt2NIghT vwfastg60 ozziesironmanoffroad WillRunner05 Dare44 Elton TacoTime Shoes138 Yota Runner

[Corey]

for the morning crowd

Hey Molly and Corey:
Anyway to add the poll bullet next to the picture? 12 months and we only get one vote? Maybe 3 votes would be cool.....

[idanity]

are the names of the truck owners ABOVE the pix.?

and
can we re-vote in December (what if the ultimate/uber/omega yota posts a pic right after i Vote ?

[OFRD_GRL]

The software does not allow you to pick a number for the votes.
It only allows you to either:
Vote for one
Vote for as many as you want.
The latter would be bad, someone could vote for all 66 or however many we have, there is no way to regulate it to vote for 10 or 3.

Take a look at my very first post at the top in red text.

We would like the voting to be done within a few weeks so Molly can start Photoshopping the pictures with the members name, and also possibly the year of the rig.
Then we need to get the pictures to a printshop which we have not decided on yet.

Also no more pics will be added to the thread here, they are all in.

[Joe's Toy]

It's so hard for me to tell myself "Look at the overall picture, not just the truck in the picture" Haha, Sooo is anyone actualy going to vote for a picture other then their own? I'm trying to give a unbias apinion with my vote. lol I'll let you know how it goes

[spindleshanks]

Yeah, you've got a point. There are so many things to consider. Some of the stock rigs are so damn purdy, and some of the less badass trucks are photographed so well that they'd look great in the calendar. I'm looking for excellent, well captured scenery as much as I am looking for a good looking rig in these photos.

[881stGenRunner]

there are many great pics in here, but im a little dissapointed that a few got into the final voting when their pic didnt even meet the requirements.

there is at least one cell phone pic and i know a few other fairly blurry pics too.

anyways, like i said many great pics.

And a good looking mollywomping on a bumper too

[mudeater34]

Too many great choices. Seems like we should all vote for 12...the best 12 with awesome crawling and scenery....or what ever tickles the fancy.

Geez guys, I embarrased that my rig is in the garage when I see the great wheeling in many of the 66 above. Can't wait to order my calendar when these are ready.

[aviator]

So many to choose from do you pick best overall, best shot of your rig style, most fun shot, best season pic...
so hard to choose...
here's hopin' my choice makes it in...

[notanymore]

so when do you think you might start selling these calenders?

[Corey]

Well....
We will run this poll for a few weeks, then Molly will Photoshop the winners with their names on the pics, then we will find a publisher.

Still working on that.
Once that happens and we can score a sample, it should not take to long after that.

[Scofco]

Wow, I'm sorry I missed out on this year. It looks like it will the best one yet!

[ozziesironmanoffroad]

[Corey]

I appended the first post, voting shall cease early Saturday morning on the 17th.

Get your votes in.

[crolison]

vote me, I have never been in a calender before. The only other way for me to be in a calender is to be in a playgirl

looks like its going to be a very nice calender, good luck yall

[JoKEpLaYeR]

Bump for some awesome trucks!

Corey and team: Have you guys ever thought about getting sponsors to pay for a couple small ads on the back. I wouldn't want a calendar littered with ads, but a couple ont he very back (you really only look at it once) could really help bring down the cost or even make YT a little profit to help pay for the servers and bandwidth and such. Just a thought.

Will they be ready by new years?!?!?!?!

[Corey]

Maybe we will look into that next time.
The pics should be in Molly's hands this weekend so she can Photoshop the info in, and staff will pic three more pics for a 13 month calendar, and she has to make a cover.

We hope to have these ready in plenty of time.

There are a few who contacted me on getting them published, I will spend my Sunday taking care of trying to wind that up.

[JoKEpLaYeR]

As I've mentioned before, I work for a photography studio with access to a lab..... but because we're into weddings we've got a lab that is much more worried about quality over quantity so the prices would probably be too high for a bulk order like this. If you're interested, I could give them a call and get a quote though.
