Serious consideration is being taken as to if we will hold anymore contest. I don't know if its the the fact the contest are too hard, or people dont have the time, or the deadlines are too soon, but it seems to me that some just can't be bothered. *sighs*...Alot of work is taken into running these contest and to have 300 members and no one particiapting in them is disconcerning. I really think the EE has the potential to be something special, but a forum is only as good as its members. I know we have a good member list....I just don't know what you are wanting. Am I holding the contest wrong, or is there something you would rather see? Please tell me and I will try and be accommidating...otherwise, my fustration is going to get the best of me and I will close them all down.
You the members need to tell me what you want..... :/

hmmm well the writting does interest me and has in a while. I will admit though that it takes a while for me to actually come up with something. The idea that I posted for a long time has actually started taking shape but needs a LOT of work and so I'v been tied up with that ideas as well. Know too tryiing to help out and improve the writting area with the board idea that I did come up with and the awards. Don't know. Don't know what people want. I'm definetly not the person you want to ask that too.
Although with fan fic I don't know what realm I really want to put a story into though. That is the thing. As I kinda like creating things from whole cloth.

Well, many of the contests I want to compete in. But I always find myself getting busy with something else; whether it be school work, family/friends, or just something in general, it makes it hard to do the contests due to time constraints.
During the school year I don't usually have much time. I may find time for one contest here or there, but that's it. And especially this time of year, I am really busy. May is my busiest year. Between Wonderfest, OA, and all the end of the school year work, I don't have much time to be online.
And I think that's the case with many people. A lot of the members are in school. And then outside of that, they could have jobs, or family obligations all on top of keeping a social life. Plus many could have a limited amount of computer time.
So, I think that many people want to do the contests, but they don't have the time. I say keep them open for now. See how they go during the summer. That's when people have the most time. If they don't pick up then, then you might as well get rid of them. Because otherwise, they usually only get two entries at most.

I don't think we should get rid of them. Just maybe start thinking about school. Look very few members here are out of high school. Can only think of three or four. I and Enchant and think one or two other's. Around this time of the year states have a state test..if your' not in high school....and in other's it's Final week. Or Hell Week. So everyone's gearing up with it and trying to pass. The summer I think will even out and do much better.
But also too lets see what people think and what types of games or things they'd like to see.

See how the summer goes, and if still no one is participating, then consider getting rid of them.
