Parker Of The Month – Potential Site Contest?

[John D.]

On one of my other firearm collecting sites, I do a “Gun of the Month” – which appears on the opening page of the main website. In short – I’m trying to see if there is any interest in doing it for this site?

Here are the details as I envision them for this site… Each month, folks post pictures of their Parkers (yes, including repros) into a thread I’d start in one of the Forums (I’d start the thread, and folks post into it).

Next – I’d close the thread a couple of days BEFORE the month end – and create an “album” with all the submissions.. For those few days – folks can “vote” or add comments to their favorite picture in that album. On the first day of that voted month – that winning “picture” would appear as the “Parker of the Month” on the opening page at http://parkerguns.org – and whoever “wins” e-mail’s me a high-res copy of their picture (see below as to why).

Finally – here was the neat idea from my other site – all the 12 pictures are then compiled into a calendar available to anyone for the next year and their own “separate” album for the year…

Anyway – like I did on page 2 in this thread:
http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=511

I’d really like to see the PGCA site have dynamic content and allow folks the opportunity to showcase some wonderful firearms and pictures.

If there is interest in doing this – let me know, OK?

What a grand idea! It will perhaps bring some unbeforeseen Parkers out of the fog and into the light and make for a great calendar to boot!

Sounds like a lot of fun to me John.

Thanks guys!!!

As well - I'm actually trying to program in a software "hack" to allow a "click to vote for this picture" on a per picture basis in the album itself.. Of course - I could still make the "voting" a poll in a thread (which is how I do it on my other sites)..

Like you two - I think it would be neat for a lot of reasons - and since hunting season is "right around the corner" for me (I have twitches at night in anticipation!!!!) can only imagine some of the great photos that folks might submit...

My thanks again!!!

John- I think a Parker of the Month with photos and details is a great idea-with the meeting and auction coming up at Pintail this week-end I am sure you will get major league support for this- Go For It!! And if I come across some Pistolen 08 in my search for older SA Colts, I'll give you a shout. Luger pistols have a cachet, just as our beloved Parkers do, and they are fun to shoot as well!!

This is a great idea. Looking forward to seeing some nice guns.

I like it John. Go for it.
