I agree it would have been nicer to run the contest on the old forums .. but what can you do? I've given up on complaining about the conditions of the new forums. It has been made clear repeatedly that the staff has no concerns whatsoever about the user base and will not listen to user input. So, if complaining about it will accomplish nothing, why waste the effort that could be channeled more positively. I have a couple of little projects stirring. One is my contest. Another is looking at building a web page for the site SVDL gave me to host my freebies. I have a larger project looming in the background, but i don't have the motivation for it yet and it looks like it's likely to be a rather major ordeal :)
