I've pretty much given up hope on this since it's been three years since we got a contest.

What we need is a regular ol' 64-entrant bracketed tourney with one 24-hour match a day. It takes two months (there are 63 losers and a third-place match), sure, but it sure is fun! That kind of buildup gets more people to come back to the site.

I don't know why people think tagging SBAllen about the contest accomplishes anything.

Wait. Wasn't that one only like a week? And I was in Seattle for half of it?

Not helping me remember it. It's not even preserved on the Wiki.

As far as I'm concerned, it didn't happen. Nobody here talks about it. Did anyone even talk about it during it?

Well JDTAY isn't around right now, so he's getting fewer pings and PMs these days.

I'm pretty sure it's Andy's gimmick at this point to pretend BYIG never happened

Literally every time someone talks about a contest he makes a post where he 'forgets' it happened. I find it hard to believe he forgets that easily considering I've seen this same situation like 10 times

I never understand why people on the contests board hate contests so much. It's like they're scared that their dying board might see actual traffic.

The last few contests have tended to either invite a flood of toxicity to the board or have just been bad contests.

That's why, I imagine.

I mean, on the day of the finals of the second-to-last contest, there were five topics about Julianne Marguilies on the top of the topic list. "Flood" seems like a bit of an overreaction since none of those topics were related to the contest that was in its most important round.

I would be okay if SBAllen instigated a usermap axe for people who tag him about the contest.

I mean, Allen literally said the merger with gamespot would lead directly to more contests in general, and a summer contest specifically.

Technically speaking, it could start two months from now and still be a "summer" contest.
