Sorry to bring this up again, I see the comp ending thread as been put on early again :rolleyes: .

I have really thought about all the points made here over the last few days & I think personally we should let them go til the end of August then say that's it. I know a lot of people will miss them but like others said if you go to other comps websites you'll find it in a better format like the comp ending threads if you prefer.

Kipper, or another BG, can you perhaps pass my comments onto wherever they are needed to go & see what they say please?

Anyone got any MAJOR objections?

Perhaps we could have a list of other websites which offer comps for people to take a look at? I know of Loquax, but which others?

I will bring the subject up with divadee when she comes back from holiday as I am holiday next week too and that will pretty much bring us to the end of August.


I can't say anything will be done, but I'll see if it can go "under review"

I completely agree with whats been said, if I miss a competition I miss a competition, noones fault but mine. If I dont have time to enter comps I dont and I only enter ones for things that I want or would make use of

The site just doesnt seem as friendly as what it used to be and thats one of the reasons I am spending less and less time on here


PS, another competition site is prizefinder but dont think it has a forum

I DO wish someone would explain why there are such strict rules about posting a comps ending list.

This is obviously a big deal but why?

Thanks to anyone who feels like explaining :cool:

Ps as a newbie I LOVe this site and people have been very freindly to me...

I agree, I was for them at first, but it's got very competitive lately, and caused a lot of fallouts from people taking things far too seriously.

I do find them useful to double check but like everyone else has said - if it's missed, it's missed! If I didn't know about it, I won't be annoyed I missed it (if that makes sense!)

It might also make our wins go up again, if people can't be bothered to go through the competitions themselves.

After all - it is only a small section of fab site, and it's only a bit of fun - not a matter of life or death

There are strict rules because a few months ago some people decided to take it upon themselves to do 'unofficial' comps ending lists, which caused a lot of fuss and arguements as some people found them useful, others didn;t like them and they ended up clogging the front page of the boards.

The rules were a compromise, but (and I'm guilty of this! ) they have been pushed to the limits lately and again they have caused fallings out on what used to be a very friendly, laid back place to be.

That's my opinion anyhoo!
