Contest Size and Boards

[jeffry390]

My opinion to the following:

Northvision probably getting its' own board after just 1 edition.

Some of us worked hard to just put a contest on, and we do reasonably well.

For some contests which I know and participate in, like WMSC and IWSC, they have been working hard as well, to host a contest with fun and interest, while some others just do it like: Meh...
(and have lost interest) in what they do.

So I think other contests, like us, should also get a shot, not only because of we show interest, but our contest has grown, and is stable now.

That's why it is kinda unfair to give Northvision its' own board straight away, even with that much interest. It's gotten almost all of its' competitors from its' predecessors, while we had to start from scratch.

No hate to the respective contests, nor to the ones who said that it should get its' own board.

I think you could group them as well.
You could make a section for Europe-based, Asia-based and World contests, or per country of the host (Dutch,American contests).

It's not all about getting your own board! And remember North Vision is going to have a lot of national selections and it will fill up the other contests board and it would be really hard (especially for James) to keep track of everything. And I know you all work hard for your contests, but you don't need your own board to keep your contests going...

Lol, felt like i was writing a persuasive essay

It isn't about getting a board, this isn't Runescape or WoW to get objectives.

It also is so that other contests are running full, and soon NVSC will be one too, I think.

That's why I gave the idea of possibly grouping contests.

We want a shot at having a good, fun contest with many people, not a shot at getting a board.

And indeed, give NVSC a board, right now. It will clog the section and unbearable for James to follow.
The sooner the better. Way handier for James and other contests. ^^

Northvision didn't just get it's board just because of it's popularity, Northvision got a board because of the fact that there are going to be a number of national selections and as Nick said, it's easier for James' to handle. Not only that but it also means that the "Other Contest" section wont be filled with Northvision threads.

Everyone who's started a contest knows how hard and time consuming it is to run and manage, not just the 3 contests listed above. But the aim isn't to receive your own board on the forums, you should really just be doing it if you're enjoying it.

All we have worked very hard and we work until now.Other contests will have a forum board and others won't have.

[George]

Also,why our contests must haven't a forum board?NVSC and other contests who haven't a board are also very good contests,but if you want to say this won't open a thread.Just talk to Dimitri,Chris or Jessica

Another Solution:

Open A Poll to say what the users say
