What I want to know is why is it that the suggestions that many good people have given to this site, including the one's Ginger offered up, which cost the site NOTHING, like an avi contest, why is it that NONE of these suggestions are acted upon?

Hmmmm?

*Points at my post*

If you want a avatar contest, then make one yourself. Problem solved.
You want a monthly site run contest? Would you enter the 3rd, or 4th, or 5th, 6th, 7th consecutive contest in a row? That's my reasoning; if you overrun the site with the same thing over and over again it gets less exciting and more boring with each re-entry. Especially when the prizes aren't exciting; I remember there was talk to have avatar's on the homepage (and I believe Ginger once suggested before to have avatar contest winners feature on the site's homepage.) That would make an exciting monthly contest in my opinion if that was the reward, but you have to admit that a 12 month executive avatar contest will feel exhausting after a while. It's a good idea, we just need to work around it a little more to make the month after that more exciting for so and so reason.
But overall we do need SOMETHING. A monthly contest of any kind would be great; as long it's not the same thing over and over again.
