Because it wasn't a competiton par se, I think it may have been doomed from the start particularly once you attached the equipment value to the activity? I imagine many would find this a little confronting and very subjective. If someone posts an image most people can tell what sort of equipment was used and keep that in mind when they assess the quality, it wasn't a competition after all. Plus what has cost got to do with it in the end anyway? Plenty of mediocre RC + PME et al images out there and plenty of high quality ED80 on EQ6's too. I have some expensive gear but I move heaven and Earth in order to use it

.. should we also take this into account in some way..? ie most difficult setups graded 1 to 10? (not that I think we should, I'm just flapping

)
The main speed hump to this venture was that there was already an active forum to which everyone already posts the same images, what was the point of posting it twice? All the same helpful info can be easily gathered in the replies to each image post

, I just didn't really get it

..?
I know you had the best intentions and it was only some fun, I mean no ill will at all, nor am I making fun here, (perhaps I am missing the intended point though

) just some honest thoughts
