Competitions Discussion sub board?

I am wondering if we should ask for a sub board to discuss comping matters. There has been quite a lot of discussion raised recently and it either ends of in here or on the winners board. Neither are really quite the right place.

What does everyone else think?

    Yeah that sounds like a good idea to me! As you say there is no place for comping discussions at the moment!

    It is a good idea but when I've seen requests for more general discussion raised on other forums it's a no-go because the mods say discussion should be taken to the Money-Savers Arms.

    How about starting a daily thread titled the same everyday with the date, or maybe even weekly, then when a new thread's posted just let the old one drop? We'd have to make it sound important. lol.

    Good idea. It's nice to discuss comps, and it would be good to have somewhere to discuss them without feeling naughty:)

    I agree - would love a discussion thread, as a fairly newbie it would be nice to ask questions without feeling I was on wrong thread.

    Best thing is to pm the board guide/s for the Comp board and ask them what they think and if they are happy to have a discussion thread on the Comps board as they will be the person who has to "keep order" :D

    A discussion area may even help to keep the competitions tidy.

    What a great idea. Competitions are one of the main points of discussion in life with me so it would be great to have a proper area for it on here.

    Sorry I haven't been back to this sooner. I have had visitors staying. Just going out for the afternoon, will pm the mods later and ask.
