I'm with QTL here. I lurked this site and the grows form July, 2011. Became an active member in Oct, 2011. The first I ever heard from you or saw your avatar was mid Jan, 2012. In all the time of my problems with getting my mother plant healthy again, I never heard from you, and there were lots of posts to keep that journal in the top 10 - 15 of the help section. I've seen several debates ad varying opinions on this site, and again, never saw your input until last month.
If you want MOTM, become MOTM. You'll never get the votes even if you get a nomination if you're not. Help, support, advice, keep positive not just yourself, but help others keep the same, offer alternate views (TASTEFULLY) to bring new light to a conversation. Show a good grow, help others turn theirs around, or help make someone else's better, if they're looking for opinions.
In other words, you have to do something that I had a hard time doing... CRAWLING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE and risking ridicule to take part in the community. With great risk...... you know the rest. Even now, I stick my neck out, hoping not to lose my head here. It may seem harsh, but I only speak truth without bias or ill intent. Take it how you will.
