    What ever happened to that? Those were great!

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I figured more people would see it here...

    You just wanted to nominate something I said so you had an opportunity to win something,
    Admit it.

    I liked it too.
    I imagine it will be something brought back in time.

    We enjoyed it, but were a little surprised at the lack of participation. In one contest, we sent out two prize packages worth over $3,000 combined and had just a handful of entries. On POTW, we were sending the prizes to a rotating group of 6 or 7 people.

    We'd love to do more contests.

    I'm thinking since the site traffic really seems to be starting to climb recently you ought to consider revisiting it this fall/winter after boating season calms down.

    Would making it a monthly contest generate more fodder and involvement?

    With any event, only a percentage of the masses are going to participate. I think as the member list grows, you're going to see more participation. I don't know if a month would work. If it takes too long to see results, people may lose interest. Maybe bi-weekly.

    The Bi-weekly thing sounds like a good idea to me. I enjoyed POTW, even know I never won any thing. (not bitter at all)

    We ran the last one as a monthly contest (actually held it open for 6 weeks because there were only 5 nominations at the end of the month), and had a total of 11 nominations and only 30 voters.

    We are discussing a tech forum contest, or maybe something when the classifieds come up, or something with our Icons, or ?????


    Any ideas are welcome.
