    I like the idea of someone posting a weekly challenge on a Monday and us reporting how we did on a Sunday :D

    I won’t be able to join in with next years as I don’t track how many I enter lol just how many I win.

    I don't either, but I will make a point of counting the ones I think I can manage and won't bother with the others.

    I was thinking any member of the forum (don't have to be taking part in the main challenge) can type up a small challenge at the start of the week (Sat/Mon) on a first come first served basis on the thread. Anyone can then decide whether or not to take part depending on how busy they are or how they feel that week. Anyone taking part can then post when they complete it or on the last day of the week (Fri/Sun). I think small weekly challenges as an extra will encourage people to jump back in or shake it up a bit; looking at the main challenge this year the majority have given up after a few months. Some examples of weekly challenges might be:
    • Enter a competition with the letters AIR, BAR or CAN in the title. The letters can be at the start, middle or end of the word.
    • Pick a date then go to game over and track it down - you might find sites that have been forgotten about that are still hosting competitions. Report back sites/members that have disappeared
    • Stop - don't switch on during your lunch hour/switch off at a certain time. Tell us what you did instead and whether it made you concentrate and less distracted when you do access the forum. Did it make any difference to the number of LWE, WEM, WTC received that week.

    I think this is a great idea.

    I know it is early to discuss the nitty gritty of next years challenge when it is only September, so apologies, but I was pondering. If we have a challenge to enter 1000 gleam competitions an say on Monday I get 6 entries made up of say 2 for tweeting, 2 for following on twitter, 2 for visiting facebook etc. Then on Tuesday, I visit the gleam again and can get another 6 entries for doing the same again, does this count as 12 towards the 1000, or is it only 1, because I have only entered one gleam competition, or is it 2 entries because I have visited the gleam on two days? I often wonder this when people say for example I have entered 1000 competitions today.

    I would say if you enter a gleam comp no matter what you have done to enter that competition it is only one comp.

    If you go back the following day and do the same again it is still a gleam comp so that would be 2 gleam comp entries.

    Did I explain that OK? :o

    I know one of the ladies has a clicker, myself I have an app on my phone that I just tap each time I enter a comp. ;)

    I did spend a whole year drawing 5 bar gates on a notebook :eek:
