We made due with pictures we had of everyone on the site except Tim's. He had a giant turbo graphic watermark on every pic and that would have looked too tacky.
Keeping a running total as to how many people have signed up. Let me know if you don't see your name on this list. I'll update it once a day.
I'm trying to use usernames, but if I can't, then I used another identifying name.

Uhm, you took his pics out because of his watermark? Dude, that's not cool at all. Stickers on the car advertize, let his watermark do some. Dayum, is it too late to fix that? Ican call Tim.

^^ Don't worry about the price update. I said if you were on it before the price update, then that is that.

No. His pictures were taken out because there was not a single decent picture of his car on the site. They're all low resolution and bad pictures, and the good ones all have large watermarks on them, which again makes them bad pictures. If I were to try using the backup plan on them we'd have 4 large watermarks on 1 calendar pinup. 1 large watermark is too much for a calendar pinup. I was able to remove ALL watermarks such as cardomain.com, license plates and camera dates from all final calendar pictures.
January of last year was when rule #9 came out. It was a big deal last year because of the calendar problems. If I remember correctly, the rule was posted at the top of the COTM entry thread.
We tried contacting him for pictures and it was not possible. I'm not saying every other member had the best pictures available. I'm saying that they were actually decent pictures for a calendar. We made numerous attempts in every method we had to contact him. It was mentioned on the first page that if he did not send in some pictures, we would have to substitute the collage for January. Were you monitoring the preparation thread in premier members area? At this point, I think it might change the price to do a 13month/extra page. It would have been nice to have the offer to contact him last month.
I didn't like having to do it, but it makes logical sense. It's the first car in the calendar. He hasn't been here since he won COTM. We could not obtain pictures for the calendar and he knew full well that the rules changed and he was to supply high res pictures. he did not supply pictures, respond to PMs, e-mails, registration e-mail, or other personal contacts attempted. A picture was available so I used it. The solution I went with was posted a month ago, and required action. I had to make a decision after a month of probing for pictures or a solution and there was no other answer suggested after a month.
