[Wynex]

how do u become a Bike Mechanic
?

[AaronBMX]

the AOTM still isn't there?

[asd]

When will AOTM be given? and will all of them be taken into consideration? Or only the ones written that month, because theirs only a few written each month.

Or are you talking about [news] and [reviews] and [how-to] also?

[Charles]

if a person writes some good articles to where they could be given the article of the month award then they probably qualify for the member of the month award also so really aotm probably fits right in with motm.

i haven't seen either of these since the old forum :S they seem to be coming obselete (sorry for spelling) in my opinion

[Wynex]

Yes it sucks that there aren't many new articles since we switched to vBulletin. I don't blame you guys for not writing something because I think for most of the users it's not clear how to publish articles on BMX-Zone. It was more obvious when the upload form was also on bmx-zone. That's something I want to improve next summer but in the meanwhile we have the News section which is great.

[AaronBMX]

maybe have a award news article of the month? like the million dollar sprocket shoud be that month:P

[zacaroo]

i think the article should be for a how to or part/bike review

[Wynex]

Article of the month is for articles and trick-howtos

[ZDN]

how come the article of the month still hasn't come into affect what happened?

[Butter_Nutts]

too many OTM's?

I don't think there's enough well published articles. I mean there's good ones, but the format, punctuation, spelling, pictures....that all needs to be there for it to be worth my read. For example dig up my Profile Mini review. Pleasing to the eye. Nobody puts effort into them.

[PhoenixBMX]

haha, now that you mention that i might go clean up my wallride one...its in lowercase

You're telling me!

The ones that get published usually take ages to correct spelling and punctuation.

Microsoft Word?

[ZDN]

thats what I do just import my important articles into microsoft word and bam! :D

[PhoenixBMX]

I get the hint. Ill go clean mine up, then resubmit it. :lol:

[nutsgeezer]

Microsoft Word?

Nah, firefox has the spell check thing, not much point putting it in word. A lot of the editing is putting capital letters in, and breaking up stupidly long sentences with commas or full stops.
