Yaxay - don't bother

After reading several peoples posts about yaXay and their contests I figured I'd go take a look.

There was a photography contest/event being run by one of the admins and backed by who I assume to be the forum owner. This seemed to be a good place to start I thought so I took several photographs and submitted the best as my entry.

When the contest came to an end I was the only entrant - shame for the event but good for me as I'd won the $30 first prize by default. Or so you'd think...

The admin that had organized this first tried to escape their responsibility to pay the prize by saying that I'd missed the deadline for the contest - I hadn't. I pointed this out to them which they accepted but rather than accept their obligation to pay me the prize money they decided to end the event without a winner, even though it had already finished.

So if you are thinking of entering a contest at yaXay, don't bother.
