Re: So no new Photo Contests?

Well, if you can only get reputation points through the photo contests, then it should work ok. I think the users giving reputation points to each other gets old pretty fast, so don't turn that on if you can avoid it...

just my 2c

I mentioned a theme thinking it would be in addition to a general category.

The theme could be something as general as the color green, or the shape of a circle. I am not a wedding/portrait photographer and always felt that category left out quite a few people.

Theme based contests tend to spark creativity and get people to actually go out and take new pictures, rather than rely on old stock.

Re: So no new Photo Contests?

Alright, Jerry, let's try that.

What is the shape for the month?

I'll also look into turning back on the reputation system but only allowing administrators the ability to add or remove reputation. I believe it can be done. I'll have to check.

Any suggestions for rep point levels and/ or titles?

Since I mentioned circle(s), let it be so!

Re: So no new Photo Contests?

So if I have read this correctly, we're looking to have a contest thread themed "Circles" and with a Color Parrot as the prize. Sounds great to me!
