With that being said, you have your right to say what you want but please respect the nature of this contest, the forum and it's members.

We can sit here and debate the effect of this contest on the forum but if you are really that upset then consider moving to another forum.

The Toyark staff works VERY hard to make this forum a very enjoyable experience and to create a community for a group of collectors that may not have a lot of connections in their area to work with. And I think accosting their programs, offerings and it's members is disrespecting their effort to bring us this experience.

Hey Tarq,

I respect what you have to say. I'm by no means trying to kiss ass here (not my style), I've just been the guy who was there at the beginning only to have some people who were just in it to win it come along and win it. It can be very frustrating. For example, at work, we had some annual poker tournaments and almost every year, a guest who didn't even work there would win. Or the Christmas prize raffle, when someone who didn't work at our company would win, we'd be pretty pissed.
