Contest Sub-forum

[Dom]

As much as a I love the SLP monthly contests, I think with how many threads are being made for each one, they are kind of blocking out the other writing from appearing on the front page.

Would it be worth it to make a sub forum for contest entries?

Thoughts?

I think that is an excellent idea - perhaps the sub-forum for the month could be pinned for that month (or a post linking to it). Would make it easy to archive them as collections then

 

[Sideways]

This could be a good idea. Could we open that forum for other little collab projects/contests?

I agree entirely, and have been anxious of exactly the same issue. Didn't expect this level of turnout in all honesty.

I don't think a subforum for EACH month would be necessary though. A single pinned thread will work for the purposes of archiving/indexing (am planning to do this once month 2 closes).

Yeah I was thinking that too, but thought I'd dip my toe in the waters of opinion to test it out first.

My thoughts exactly. One forum per month would be unweildy.

Also what Sideways said.

I'd feel less egocentric requesting it then.

I'm thrilled that contests are taking off like this, so sure, yes, I'll create this.

Awesome, thank you for doing the leg work of moving all the past threads over too.

No problem.
