I have been mulling this over and let me know what you think of my plan.

I still enjoy the competition and would like to see it continue. I also remember a comment that went by that the weekly competition killed the other threads as everyone drops their best photos into the competition rather than "Best of" photo threads.

My thought is that we move the competition to be Quarterly. I open the thread in the last 2 weeks of the quarter and people can submit their best photo (we are limited to 10 spots, so I am worried about having too many). Then we vote. That way we can populate the "Best of" or other image threads as much as we like and at the end, we pick our favorite and enter it in the competition.

Thoughts? Would you prefer to stick with the existing format?



As Bryan owns TDP and incurs whatever expense it is to operate, I have tried to be respectful and not ask too much (anything at all, really). But I am also thinking of making the following requests to see if we can increase participation:
  1. The Forum be moved back up to the front page.
  2. An easier mechanism for photos >198 KB to be uploaded.


Any other requests?
