What???

Instead of throwing this one into the marketplace, how about someone takes the bull by the horns and makes this an amazing place!!!

Contests are huge in other communities, and you are removing them from here?

All you need is one or two members of staff to work solely on this forum. Get them to develop it and advertise/market it through the rest of the site. Get them to work out some rock solid ground rules and make sure all members adhere to the strictly. Make it fun.

Build that front page portal I keep talking about again and again, and have a special section in it for current contests. Get that newsletter running and advertise contests.

Just do something about it, don't just bury it, that's what losers would do.
