The amount of entries we have been getting in the competitions has been dropping lately same with the voting
so i was just wondering if it was worth carrying on with them are you getting board with them should i end them ?
with the amount of members on the site i would expect a lot more to enter and vote
it only takes minutes to upload and seconds to vote.

I thought teh last one had a decent number of votes? Lisa had 6 to win it and IIRC there were 19 in total?

Katex is now on the case so thats another 4 entries

Mick · 14-01-2008, 09:55

Sorry but i dont think 19 votes out of over 11,000 members good

entwisi · 14-01-2008, 10:28

11K active users? Don't think so

How many distinct users over a week, thats a more realistic number.

Take from that all the Stanley boys and I reckon your talking more like maybe 100 users tops?

I really enjoy the photo competition and would be sad to see it go. Although I agree that it would be nice to have more entries and voters, the ones who do use it seem happy enough.

After all, not everyone is interested in photograpy.

I always vote and I always participate...please don't abandon this comp. I enjoy it and wish more people would take an interest in it.

did i say active users NO, even so there are a lot more that could enter and vote
19 votes and uploads is perthetic.

Maybe you could add some Mick

We never see you entering, and don't give me the "I run it bit" I used to run it and entered my pics

Mick · 14-01-2008, 14:00

yes but you did not have access to the gallery so i will not enter then nobody can say i cheat.
i would like it to carry on and more members enter thats all i am saying one reason is i still have loads of prizes cluttering up the place

entwisi · 14-01-2008, 14:05

so start giving them out for each competition.

I think I speak for all that we know you wouldn't cheat. So start snapping and get posting. Likewise Len is into phtoography but never enters! COME ON LEN!!!!

K.S.H · 14-01-2008, 14:08

Len has entered them in the past

Hey you!!... Don’t go bringing me into this..

I will and do take part providing I have something to enter. Fortunately I have something for this comp but sad to say there not very good but at least it will get the numbers up…...
So you can put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Margaret Pilkington · 14-01-2008, 18:07

Len I have just had a look at your 'not very good' pictures in the gallery....what are you talking about???? They look pretty damn good to me.

This is the essence i think...people feel that their photo's are not good enough, when in actual fact what we, the members, are looking at is pleasant, aesthetic pictures rather than technical excellence.

I like looking at other peoples pictures....and I also like it when other people look at mine.
