Mods/Admins,
I just wanted to congradulate you with the way you've run things here. I don't know if many people do that, but with the limited forces you have for such a crowded forum, you've managed to keep everything in line.
Good idea on keeping this forum alive while Tool is elsewhere for the moment with contests like TTU questions and such, but here's an idea for other contests:
-Have people make up their own mind expanding TTU questions. There would truly be some good brain exercising there.
-You must have noticed by now that debating is a popular past time at TDN, so why not have some kind of debate tournament with a topic of the mod/admin's choice. Have people sign up for this in a special sticky. Have a few judges sign up, too. Then, create a tournament with a different topic for every round with a common underlying theme. Allow people to make, say, 3 arguments and rebuttles each. Whoever gets the most victory arguments (the stronger arguments will be discussed by the panel of judges) moves on to the next round until the remaining two reach the end and face each other. The winner gets a prize naturally, as what would happen with any of these suggestions.
-Have a poetry contest. Do it in the same fashion you had your visual arts contest. I would be a great panelist for that contest, although I think I would rather enter it.
-Perhaps have an avatar contest? let people send in what they believe is a great avatar and have it choosen by the TDN gods.
Just a few ideas.
