Would it be hard to create a contest board? Sometimes a contest is in News, or General and it can get confusing.

I plan to always have contest announcements in the "News" board. Sometimes there will be a link in the announcement to a more detailed post in "General", but generally you can find all the contests from "News".

That sounds fine, but then all the traffic for the contest ends up on the news board as well. I usually don't care much about contests I'm not participating in, but every time that "news" folder turns red, I have to make sure I'm not missing anything.

It would be nice if a post could be made in the news section to announce the contest, but the contest entries and comments and followups could be on a thread in the "contests" board. Anyway, I'd kinda like it that way.

Yeah, I agree. Especially with contests like this one that generate a lot of replies, it's really annoying that they are in the news board.

I never thought of that before. Okay, next contest, I will start announcing on "news" and linking to a "general" topic.
