Announcing BMW MOA 2021 Grand Coddiwomple!

Coddiwomple has me in trouble with Annie. We did all our rides together and I submitted all our photos. Somehow I ended up with 50 more points than Annie. Now I’m suspected of putting my thumb on the scales just so I could outdo her in the contest. I just know it couldn’t be my error; couldn’t be… could it? Nope, I’m a victim of a vast Coddiwomple conspiracy. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
 
Forum overlooked………again? :brow

oops!

Actually, I do go there. :)

With 18 or so pages of interest in this MOA promoted event, as far as I’m concerned, any news of this event should be posted through all areas of MOA media.
If there was some reason the “guests” were not expected to be able to see the prize drawing, it could have been linked to the Clubhouse section.

Fairly disappointed again, FB shouldn’t be the go to and overlooking a Forum announcement once again.

There is an embed code for the event, which would allow viewing from the forum (I think, haven't tried this)... but it appears only to be applicable while the event is live.

FB is a much more effective tool for creating live, ad-hoc video events, but even if one could just post a link here, it would be worth letting forum peeps know that the event planned and/or about to happen. If you're not Omega Man :ha you probably have a FB account and could tune in there.

I am going to stfu now.
 
Comparing Facebook and this Forum is like comparing a library to a homecoming parade. Facebook is all exciting and energetic for moments and then that topic goes away. And while probably not impossible, the discussion is very had to locate even just days later, if not hours later. The Forum on the other hand can be searched and even old stuff can be found. The two venues just are not similar, let alone the same.

The BMW MOA Facebook page has orders of magnitude more active users as this Forum. And for maximum attention the BMW MOA would be remiss in not using the Facebook reach.

That does not excuse the BMW MOA from ignoring their own forum when announcing news worthy things, however. Unfortunately, almost from the Forum inception some Board members and some staff viewed the Forum and its users as the enemy.
