Yes Im also wondering this. Did he back out?

[OCDP]

Sorry, had to comment.. beautiful Blasto's. Great picture!

[superduperwesman]

Yes Im also wondering this. Did he back out?

I think some people had problems with a vendor running the contest??

Now it'll prob just die off and then people will complain when their is no contest

[rstar]

geesh, i dont get why people get so uptight about a vendor running the contest, its just mean great prizes to be had... that a real bummer that a few complaints can ruin something good...

[Jason McK]

Steve did a great job with running the POTM but at this time we thought it best to have the contest run by Canreef staff rather than a vendor

Thank you for your understanding
