Not all discussions are in the public eye.
If you'd like a challenge for the time being, Baron, you can continue your previous system.

If I had time then I would happily do so. Perhaps Amber Leaf might take up that one though. When you come down from your pedestal you might realise that there is advantage in maintaining communication with your members.

I'm not on a pedestal, I'm trying to keep the challenge going despite my inability to administer it. I'll be away for most of this entire year.

I've spoken to Olly via PM and he suggested doing the Poetry challenge but said he needed to talk to Shawn.
I wouldn't have a clue about how to post the challanges.
What I could do is start a poetry challange in the poetry section. I will only do this though if a few people will message me to say that they will judge and if admin staff will close threads when the challange finishes.
Anybody up for it?

Perhaps give Olly time to do that ...

If I recall, Amber Leaf, you've participated in the challenges from the first?
You understand, then, that you are suggesting a return to Square 1 ...
and that asking for volunteer judges has not worked all that well in the past ...
and that admin had expressed concerns about challenge threads in Poetry, with added monitoring and duties, etc ...
which contributed to the Poetry Challenge section being set up here ...
so, again, perhaps give Olly time to discuss things with Shawn?

OK Whatever???
It looks like I've been given the go ahead.
Who wants to judge for the poetry competition then?
I'm going to post up the challange (besed on Mermaid's suggestion) today or tommorow (if all goes) well so if anyone wants to judge then feel free to PM me.
If it doesn't work and and not enough people are into it or have the time to cope with it then fair enough but it's worth a last try I suppose.

People will be in to it OK, we like a challenge. I'll be a judge if you are short of volunteers.

Sorry I've been away for so long. I've been doing stupid hours at work (I'm even there now) and uni as well so have been very lax at sorting this out.
If anyone would like to judge I'd really appreciate it if you Pm'd me and I will send you the details on how to judge.
