It feels so long ago now. Or maybe it wasn't that long ago, and I'm simply not remembering? Oh well.

Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one.

Huh, for some reason I thought it was late 2020.

So yeah, almost 3.

It's for the best that we don't see all of 2002's fodder again.

I don't get what the issue is tbh

If WE were to be like "Hey Allen, we'll handle the contest for you. We can take care of the nomination form, the stats, the leaderboard, the art for each match, the metadata, etc. - all you need to do is input the matches as the polls." it could feasibly happen. He's extremely busy, what with being made to do the work of four people, so I think it's the least we could do to show him some gratitude for busting his butt and selling his soul for us.

There's gotta be a way to make it so we can get access to a "Contest Portal" of sorts that we can then run twice a year or something. I mean, if we put our heads together, maybe we could get it to happen without Allen having to do much work.

The issue is the people who own the site now don't see the need to fund one

Does a contest need money to be run, though? Rewards can be things like private boards on the site or 500 karma.

Maybe we should write them an essay explaining how a contest drives up site traffic. Unless it doesn't any longer. CBS at least would've given it a chance, but AFAIK Red Ventures is cheap. Not sure why they bought this site if all they were going to do was leave it for dead.

Yes we've said for years we'd do contests for free but that's not the way Allen wants to do things

And this site is actually decently profitable because it costs so little to maintain

A contest isn't going to move the needle, so why bother spending the time and money.

There's just a couple thousand of us old timers riding this site to its grave (however long that may be). All we have left is to amuse ourselves.

If nothing else it uses up a lot of SBAllen's work time and time is money
