This week Ive already seen 2 contest running........maybe we need a way of picking who get to run the contest like a random memos sent to like 10 people and the first peoson to reply gets to run the contest.....or somthing because there are going to be contest running all over the boards...which may or may not be a good thing......

Well, unofficial contests, IE contest that aren't endorsed by a moderator, don't really count. I mean, you can enter them if you want, but don't feel obligated.
The real-true contests will be posted or linked on news.

From what I've seen so far, most people can't come up with ideas for contests, at all. So randomly sending memos is probably a really bad idea.

well for right now, the contests seems to be running pretty rampant, but i think that's ok. the official contests are still good... random memos would kinda suck to keep track of, plus how are you going to decide which 10 people get them?

people have been pretty good about running them separately, and even if there were 2 contests going on, people should remember to post a link to their entry so that people can see the contest entries together.

but i don't much care either way.
