    Unless you've been living under your tank for the past month and a half, you are aware that there is a contest going on right now for a DIY Video.

    My question to the community is:

    Why are there only 99 votes out of a community of 14,000+ registered members on this forum?

    Ok, I know the first thing you are saying, "Lots of those 14,000 members aren't around anymore."

    Fine, I'll throw out 12,000 members to be REALLY generous.

    The leaves 1,901 of you that haven't voted!

    Why not?!

    There are some awesome prizes for those of us bold and committed enough to take time out to shoot a video.

    And...these prizes only are up for grabs because:

    1. Matt asked real nice. (Thanks Matt)
    2. The sponsors saw enough interest in previous contests to decide to get involved in this one. In other words, there were enough eyeballs participating (i.e. the people who voted), to justify the expense of the giving away the prizes.

    If you've already voted, Thank You

    If you haven't, I'm asking you to go HERE and vote NOW. Give something to a community that has given something to you.

    Do it to say thanks to Matt for sticking his neck out and asking the sponsors for the prizes.

    Do it to say thanks to the sponsors for their support of 3reef.com.

    Do it to say thanks to the people who made the videos for making the great information available to everyone in an easy, entertaining form!

    Do it so that the next video has even greater prizes that YOU could win!

    So what are you waiting for?! Go VOTE!

    agreed, more people need to vote!

    just for the fun of it, it really doesn't matter who wins it's all for fun.

    Yes, its all for fun, but the fun of winning prizes won't be there unless we get some serious turn out!

    C'mon people...! Its Memorial day weekend so after you are sun burned after being out in the sun on Saturday/Sunday/Monday, check out the vids at night if nothing else and vote!

    maybe next time you could have a smaller drawing for those that voted that should get more intrest. even if it's a bucket of salt.

    All right!!! We've got 9 more votes than we had when I started this thread, so people are starting to come out and vote! Thanks to the new voters!

    Let's keep it going. Here's an idea...PM 3 of your 3reef.com friends and ask them to vote.

    I'll make it easy on you, just copy and paste the below text into a PM to them:

    ----

    Hey! Did you know about the DIY Video Contest that is going on right now? There are lots of great videos that are entered and in order to make sure this contest gets to happen again, we need hoards of people to come out and vote.

    Finally, please forward this message to 3 of your 3reef.com buddies so we can get the word around about the contest and the voting!

    - YOUR NAME

    -----

    How easy is that?! Let's see if we can hit 150 votes...we've got 32 hrs left!
