Ok people here's your very own thread where you can post your own ideas on what's going on in BOTM.
This is an attempt to clean up the board to make it easier for me to run it without having people having to PM me asking WTF is going on.
As most of you know, I was involved in a serious accident 6 moths ago which left me with a little brain damage and I really can do without the hassle that the job has put me through this past few weeks.
Please consider me before cracking any jokes that I may take in bad taste, thanks guys.

Sam.

Would you like chips with that, Sam? Must be the withdrawal from the Boddington's has got you in a state. I know you've said the doctor has forbid you to partake, and you've even mentioned the possibility of giving it all up anyway, but where will we ever find a suitable replacement for your local ambrosia?

I hope you're well, and it's great to know you'll be celebrating another Christmas with all of us, even if remotely.

Peace and health to you, dear man!
Cal

Thanks Cal, it would have been easier to say find someone else for the job but I'm not a quitter, it's either do it my way OR find someone else, I'd rather it be the former.

Sam.

Seems like your way has worked really well for quite a while. Look at all the beautiful bikes that get represented each month, and throughout the year. If not for this thread, many might get missed.

You get my vote of confidence to keep it as you have enter mined it works well (and easy for you).

Come back soon, Bill is getting out of hand with the Apple Pie

The Chef has been holding out on us on what could be a BOTM candidate!

He just presented a beautiful CL360 to his girlfriend for Christmas. No build thread, as I presume he was keeping this as a "Black Project" to hide it from her. Great project bike, Chef -- now let's see a build thread!!

Nice uh bike

Sam, tis a shame it has to be explained but I understand your frustration. What about posting the rules at the top of every month's nomination??

It used to be at meetings everyone understood Robert's Rules of Order too.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #8 on:** December 28, 2014, 03:28:02 PM »

Time for me to have a rest guys, I can't see the point of posting them at the top of the Nomination Thread each month Brent if people can't read them in the stickies at the head of this forum.
I'll start the January Nomination thread again with SohRons 550 which was nominated, seconded and accepted and then you can add to it. Perhaps Justin will take over running it for a while but I know he has been busy for some time, anyway, I'm out of it for now, my health is more important. Thanks for having me.

Sam.

OK guys, don't hassle Sam the Man

keep it clean.

Sam if you haven't posted posting rules then maybe you should. If ANYTHING falls outside your rules delete them and keep it clean and easy.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #10 on:** December 29, 2014, 05:19:22 AM »

Sam, do what's best for you! We got your back, Bill Happy New Year.

I don't really understand.
The format has worked for a very long time.
Seems uber simple, fair and easy to work with, why change anything?

If there is something I can do to help keep the BOTM going please let me know

BPellerine · « **Reply #12 on:** December 29, 2014, 02:18:02 PM »

we should thank sam and hope he gets rested up!bill

Jag, it's what you don't see, It's what goes on behind the scenes in PMs.

Thanks for the offer.

That sucks!

Sam has done a fantastic job moderating the BOTM board. I hope everyone supports Sam in doing what is best for his health and well-being.

jaguar · « **Reply #15 on:** December 30, 2014, 11:02:47 AM »

I don't really get PMs either. ITs a forum, if you have something to say post it!

I hope you are feeling better.

Blackfin5 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 06, 2015, 10:54:36 AM »

Also posted in the BOTM thread after seeing this one. I nominate Don (750CafeRacerFan) as the 2015 BOTM chairman to take over from Sam, who has earned a well-deserved rest. What do you say, Don?

calj737 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 06, 2015, 11:15:42 AM »

I second that Nomination (in keeping with rules). Hopefully that will keep Don from gathering and building any more bikes!

Blackfin5 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 06, 2015, 11:47:37 AM »

Cal, you blew my cover. My intent is to keep him busy so he doesn't buy any more of the best foundation bikes in SoCal. He's cornered the market here. Isn't that an anti-trust violation?

calj737 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 06, 2015, 12:48:08 PM »

I'd certainly agree with your preliminary findings. Let me get my hanging rope out of the closet and pay him a visit....

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #20 on:** January 07, 2015, 04:37:44 PM »

Haha. I just checked back in on this board. You guys are comedians!

If you need me to do it, I will be happy to help. That said, I have no clue on how to do a voting thread!

Sam.

I've been through and enjoyed the spirit of BOTM and BOTY.
It's a great way to recognize and celebrate your favorite bikes and builders.
It's supposed to be fun, friendly and non-political.
I have no idea why the BOTM admin should be receiving ANY PM's on the topic.
Pretty simple rules and easy member involvement.
Add another rule.
PM's will be deleted and go unanswered so don't waste your time or Sam's

See how easy that is?

Have a great 2015 Sam.

SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan · « **Reply #23 on:** January 08, 2015, 08:10:24 AM »

Just to make sure that February BOTM doesn't fall through the cracks, I started a February nomination thread. I also PM'd and emailed existing moderator Chef Justin about substituting in for Sam. Now let's h.get some bikes in the running.
