Suggestion : Can't there be one mega omni promotions thread, reason being I have the latest activity thread bookmarked or the landing page and after a few drives the entire page is filled with these promotion threads ( some members I've never even seen a post from, not even in a thread about them ) and in all of this other threads get buried or pushed down making you miss them. Already there is a dearth of content here and this just makes one miss other threads. Or maybe even just one new thread mentioning all the promoted. Right now it just looks like the forum got spammed every couple of weeks.
Suggestion two : Why not have a promotion ceremony after the drive or the next drive, this I'm sure this will be more memorable to the person than a thread, you can take pictures and post them in the "mega promotion thread" or ONE new thread or gallery
*cue RD and Gaurav with a very serious post why I'm an A.hole for doing this and why promotions cannot be handled any other way than they are done currently!!!
