RE: A Contest Section
Not a bad idea. But for now, we're trying to have contest be for traffic to the site, or by contributing somehow. In the future, it would be nice to have contest section for all sorts of reasons. Of course, feel free to make a contest for anything you desire in the general section, but contests in the announcements and feedback will be for site contributions.
An actual contest section, would probably be best for when there are a very large amount of members.
