You need someone to run the challenges who doesn't have regular long term, life altering, job interfering, medical, family relating, driving, drinking, political, drug-related problems that are going to stop him/her dealing with running, collating, counting, arranging and generally co-ordinating the monthly challenges.

Look, you and Zhann have issues and problems. I've seen this kinda thing before. Well-meaning people who are willing to take on anything to help out but finaly succumb to real-life and have to take a back-seat.

Now I sure respect you guys and I'm gratefull that you take your valuable time and stake a whole chunk of it on this forum. But you (AS) have health and job problems and Jan has her just as serious 'for gods sake give me a break' problems. Start deputising, guys! We won't think any less of you.

As for the monthly challenges themselves.........we need prizes! Real ones! Maybe a DAZ Gift Voucher or a CP Voucher. And once a year, something big, like a copy of the latest Poser (or anything that won't be construed as heretical by the Cardinals) but restricted to those who have entered several times to the monthlys.
