Hmmm... I think breaking up the "General" forum into smaller ones has had the unwanted side effect of reducing participation in entering contests and voting. Do many people still go into the "Other" forum ? Perhaps contests and stuff like that should be moved to Canon EOS digital cameras which sometimes has over 100 people viewing (as opposed to 2 or 3 in this one!)

Just an idea...

I agree with JK as well...

In order..

Hi JK,

You seem to like the contest, and when you ran it you ran it smoothly. So how about (drum roll please)....you become the admin to the contest

I bet if you volunteer many people will join, because many people are afraid to host it if they win.

Give it a thought

Thanks for the compliment aam1234, but I think Karina also ran the contest very smoothly, yet the response to it has been very low. The theme of "Bad Habits" was a good and interesting one, so I don't think we can put the low participation numbers down to that. I think it's simply due to the fact that the contest thread is almost "hidden" away in a sub forum that's not visited very frequently.

The Canon EOS digital cameras thread is by far the most active and visited one, so perhaps the moderators may want to consider moving the contest thread there. It would be a bit off-topic, but at least people will notice it.

As for me volunteering to run contests, well I don't have a problem with that but I'm sure other people would also like to give it a go. Is anyone out there really not entering contests just because they have to host the next one ? Let us know and I'm sure we can sort something out!
