More TPU Contests
The "Design Your Own Graphics Card" contest was excellent.
I would like to see more contents, even if for smaller or less expensive item as I think it brings a lot of traffic to the site. Is it possible to contact some of the Manufacturer to get some items, even if they are not on the cutting edge, in exchange for some free promotion for them? Not so often that the contests become expected, but maybe one every 3 to 6 months or so? Just a thought. What do you all think?

Agreed.
Although I don't always get involved with them, it's interesting to watch user's participation. I think the traffic would be great overall, as well.

I know that there is a fair amount of work involved when presenting a contest (judging, moderating, etc.) it just seems to me that the activity it creates on the board may be worth the extra effort.

Simple items as a reward seem to work just as well and no one feels hard done by if they lose out.
I like how the Design your own card required the entrants to put in a bit of effort instead of just a question that some might google.
