I don't know of any plan to close the site.

It is the last contest for a few reasons.

1. The participation is extremely low with the only games getting more than twenty people playing the ones that are about the game being gone - only so many of those I can do.

January 25
February 42
March 11
April 12
May 45
June 31
July 11
August 14
September 18
October 14
November 7


From January until the end of August we averaged 5 users per day. Since then we have averaged 40 per day - and yet the number of entries keep dropping.


2. The contest threads have had negative comments about the type of contest as well as negative entries

3. Since there is no game, it is very difficult to design contests that are fun and relevant. Based upon number 2 above - I am failing at that and it would be better to simply let this go.


It was fun and I will always be around to read PMs and might even sometimes talk on a thread.

If we get lots of VMKF to somehow participate in the next contest, can't we keep them going? I mean isn't there any other way to have some types of contests on here? Maybe get a poll to see what types of contests we should do each month or something, so that everyone gets a fair share in what type of contest we can have on here, without any complaints?

I agree with Stitchco. I like his idea.

I once had an idea, to do the uhm... oh I pmed Jezzi about VMKF 2010 awards that I wanted to do, but she said it would be favoritism + that it would sound official, and tepcat, you are the only one to do VMKF official contests. So, that idea went out the door. I've tried countless times to try and get this site running, but almost all of them have been against the rules (I've asked mods usually before posting them)

But anyways, I want this site active just as much as the next person, and I am dedicated to this site. I don't want these contests to stop, even though I'm not involved in every one, I love reading the entries. I don't want this site to stop . It just makes me so frustrated when one person has to be all negative about something that we're trying to keep alive. Just leave if all you have to do is insult these contests. Tepcat works so hard.

I myself did suggest a new type of contest to a admin./mod. (can't remember who-sorry ) . But I'm not sure if I ever PMed Tepcat about the idea I had. If you need any help with contests, I'd be glad to forgo my participation in order to keep the contests around tep.
