Competition Section

[Toon]

Just having a little think, the competition section was something that we used to run on the last forum to attract new members and we would run them every week, it's not something I have the time to do now and the section will end up just getting filled with people wanting free logos and there's enough of that going on at the moment.

I don't mind copying the posts into another section for future reference? Any thoughts?

I think Competitions such as "photo of the month" are good to have for members, introducing competitions such as "gdf t-shirt" comp, winner getting a free one, and the rest have the option to purchase the t-shirt.

Maybe a rework to friendly Members only comps or minimum posts comps for friendly / healthy competition.

Yup, sounds good enough to me!

maybe you could do a site of the month competition? and set it so that people have to have posted a number of times before they can enter?

i guess that could be pretty cool

Same for me, maybe 'for the month' things would do the trick, but don't overabuse that. It's cool for now :)

Now I've had a good think about this and you all make good points, what I've done is put a mod run on any new threads in the competition meaning all new threads will be read and approve before made visible to other users this way I can decide if I feel they're worth having or not.

You can test it for me by starting a thread in that section, (you won't see it as I'll deny them all) but you'll get to see what the competition thread starters will see.

Any thoughts?
