My 2 Cents.....From an Admin/Mod point of view.
Timing is everything!! I have noticed over the past 10 years on various forums that the time of year is very important on deciding what types of things to do on a public forum.
Most forums hit a lul in activity during the spring and summer months then start to pick up again in the fall and are normally back in full swing by late fall. It's the weather!! ;)
To try to keep up the activity on the forum it (contest/games/hot topic whatever) pretty much needs to start when the forum is picking back up and then run one thing into the next, those interested in participating in the activities tend to get back to check on things every day or two. To start something up when the forum is already dying down for the lul, you don't normally get as great a response as you would have while the forum was hot hot hot!!
but anyway thats just my 2 cents!! ;)
btw Yes Chrono I'll post pic's once I get some good ones!! ~S~
