Actually, all Storm had to do was ask...He asked me to see if I could help recruit Sponsors and I personally sent an e-mail out to our Authorized Vendors including Vendors applying for AV Status at that time. I even asked if I should send another e-mail to further help recruit sponsors.
I don't recall receiving any contact from Storm via PM or E-mail after asking if he needed further assistance.
Despite the lack of a "front page post", the OCC meet threads (of which there are several throughout Mazda Forums) certainly didn't receive a lack of attention...I even posted in this thread several times to (bump) it and spread the word via FaceBook & Twitter.
So it's only natural for me to feel concern when the Mazda Forums Community doesn't even get a mention in Storm's "THANK YOU" post ON MAZDAS247.COM! :wtf:
