Moto Hell - The Motorola Modding Community

I got a good idea about how we can praise and eventually even boost the moto modding to further level.

We all know that there are few real modders in the forums and most of the members are actually users of their mods (like me too actually). How do we give "thanks" to those codders and modders? Currently that's only moral by increasing their karma and applauding them with good words in the forum threads.

My idea is to make a a regular quarter year event for collecting money for the good modders. During the four months the users who has the possibility will use a PayPal donations to the MotoHell forum (my account - I am safe and honest!). In mean time there will be a public thread with voting for some nominees. The modder who collects most votes in the quarter will get the money transferred from the MotoHell (mine) to his personal PayPal account. You can count that as a "modding contest" scenario. What the modder will do with his money is his own business :)

Additionally all people who "donate" the modding will be put on special page and will receive credits in their profile.

If you want to contribute please go to:




* If you donate please send me a PM with your username and donations amount.

How to nominate modders? You can introduce your mods or recommend somebody else by creating a "good looking" reply in this post. What does it mean? You need to write the username of the person who you recommend and complete details why you are doing that. That means links to his mods, descriptions, info how he helped you personally, etc. If you provide more details he will have a better chance, right? Go for it! All nominees will be put in a public poll, where all registered users can vote.

Current quarter donators:
1. Exploited: $24.00
2. JithinSK:   $4.50

2008-Q4 Donations Total: $28.50 - WINNER IS GAYOE

* PayPal is taking $0.50 transaction fee from every donation.

i will also join but let's give out to top 3 if we get donations

Yep, good idea... :)

Really good idea..Though not sure we can collect a good amount each time..  :-\

four months are enough I think...

The other variant is the "Buy me a beer" mod, where users can directly donate the modders they like. I am not sure if it will work good however

i'll just give you guys my morale support since i dont have too much money to give away......

Campaign 2008-Q4 started. I donate everything that I have in my paypal - €17.13 EUR. Whoever have the finances to donate - please do so. Everybody - please reply here with your nominees by the criterias in the first post.

5$ from me.. Do not have much now, want to buy an E8.. lol :)

Thank you very much... I forgot to mention that PayPal is getting $0.50 transaction fee :(

No money on internet, no money in real life, really out of any cash :-/

The idea is great, I support it and hope it goes on well!

i've no money on internet. not much money in real life :(

actually i dont 100% believe in internet banking since there is much carding crime in my country :(

People - please write your nominees :)

we can only write one??only one will get the $$ in the end??

depends on the amount... If they are a lot of money (which I doubt) we can split them on two or three... If not (like now - only two donations) - then only one.

You can nominate for more than one, but later you will be able to vote for only one.

The one we nominate should be registered and active member of MH?

yes, he must be a MotoHell member.

I personally vote for ilove3d. For all his works for E2 and recently for E8. Without his firmwares the E2 phones would not be the same...

Such a great idea..I don't have any money at the internet..So,I personally vote for ilove3D for his great development in E2 and E8.Currently,the both phones are used by me.Without him,maybe I would sell my phones.

And i vote for Arctu, i mean he might not have done a FW but he's improve so many thing like the Show* libs, created Qplayer (which i love) and and made ROKR E2 & E8 PHP-able, which is pretty cool

poll added

I would have voted for elektro if this was 1-2 years ago.. :)
Honestly I dont know about the modders of other phones.. So I'll pro'ly go with Phil for starting this idea..  :-[

more suggestions needed :)

added keaglez...

However I do not see a much enthusiasm here, so maybe the program will be canceled and we will use the money for something else :(

thanks to add me Phil... :) Hope i can help donate too, but unfortunately i can't do it now... :(

added JithinSK ;)

I`m also wondering why MotoHell members don`t give much enthusiasm about this program ???

Removed me.. :)

Thank you Agung.. But unfortunately, I do not deserve to be one among them as I haven't even modded my phone for 2-3 months.. And I do not even own a moto phone now.. :(

I`m sorry to hear that.
Hope you can get a new one ;)

is it possible to change our vote......?and can you guys add Exploited to the list.......

Hmm... I dont know if its stupid to vote for old phone modders...

I would like to vote for gayoe - always glad to help, share his findings, most advanced of us E398/ROKR modders... Has created/moded patches, MPs, skins... Been around for as long as I am, that means at least from 2006 and all the time he shared...

Right said.. gayoe is still a modder.. I'll add his name..

Uhh
i'll be pleased to donate for the winner, but i'm still saving money to get a ROKR E8, but i'll have to wait til it gets cheaper, and sell my E2 :(, so bad
BTW i really think that the money will be useful for Ilove3D cuz his E8, has "broken" and he acn't mod til he gets a new one, but he'll sell his E8 and buy another

votes cannot be changed... too bad :P

I'm E398 users, vote for masta gayoe :D

like u masta ritz i'm vote for surabaya modders
gayoe

gayoe too... 8)

Forgot to write here :-[
I voted for Herrick Tword a.k.a keaglez ;)

PM your MotoHell friends to vote.. :) It's important... The money are not much (as you can see), but at least somebody may buy some beer with them :)

Thaaaanks to vote me.... Sorry to not giving much help and not updating anything these day...... :( :)

Vote FOR ME! LOL. joking.

you forgot lasly didn't you? :P
he's the mastermind behind the E2 SDK. For which if it doesn't exist, we won't be able to create native apps. (:

lasly added

Hmm.. The voting should have started only after all the nominees were selected..

ok enabled the "change vote" option

actually i have found out that there are many modders and skinners on the motofan.ru forums. these russians surely know how all this can be mastered !!!
