great turn out, especially considering this was not very publicized. In the future, we may have to try it again... with a little more exposure and maybe some real prizes.

I agree, I completely forgot about the contest until the polls were put on the top of the main forums page. Also if I remember correctly, the announcement was made on Page 2... thought it was quite odd.
