    Quick one liner question really.

    Why are the competition winners on the various threads that get posted up never announced?

    Personally would like to know who won prizes to congratulate / have banter about etc

    Yeah, and do mods ever win? :(

    Actually, I saw it announced once who the winner was. Maybe it was decided best not to announce so they wouldn't get hassled by pm to sell the prize or something?

    Yeah that reasoning had crossed my mind alright, but still I would have thought that if this was an issue then it would be decided to not publish winners names.

    Though I always thought there was a law somewhere about having to publish winners name though I could be WAAAAAAAYYYY off

    The competitions remind me of razor blades. it started off with one at the top of the list, then it went to two and now there are three. Why not just skip out the intermediate steps and jsut go straight to ten blades in a razor and ten competitions at the top of the list? :D

    We never did set a max on it but I think we'll probably settle on two.

    I dont think anyone ever thought to post the winners to be absolutely honest. They all have been won but I wonder if people want it to be known that they won (or if the DPA might have something against it). Just thinking out loud.

    I'll link Darragh this thread and he will know.
