Please can we have sub forum for advents

PLEASE can we have a sub forum for all advent comps this year so they are all in one place? It floods the normal comps and takes twice as long to do comping.

Thank you :A:T:D

Once again a big thank you to everyone posting in this section of the forum.

    I'm usually against the requests for sub-boards i.e. Facebook, Twitter etc, but I actually think this is a good idea to have one for Advents.

    I have a feeling it would all go [STRIKE]tits up[/STRIKE] horribly wrong very quickly. We would get competitions duped on the advent sub board and the main board; keeping track would be a pain. We always get the is this an advent or just a competition ending in December anyway.

    We could have sub board just for pringles comps so I can never go there...
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    The advents are only for a month/two months .... I doubt the people in MSE towers would bother making a sub-board for that length of time

    Agree with WeAreGhosts. Only for a month or two so not much point.

    They all should have 'ADVENT' in the header to easy enough to red cross them or scroll past.

    I think I would rather have everything on the main board.

    Oh yes please, then all those who feel compelled to enter for every piddling prize with the word advent attached to it can congregate there and leave the 'proper ' prizes to those who don't get sucked in.

    Every year people miss out on decent prizes as they desperately try to win a bit of tinsel losing sleep and making themselves ill in the process.
  • I currently book all the advents, this is actually a good idea if someone can get it working properly and make sure comps aren't duped (although with FB and Twitter which the majority are, if you're liking and RT-ing you can see what you've entered already).
