I agree that a sig/wallpaper contest is old hat. It both caters to a particular audience and has been done many different times under many different guises. I second the idea of some sort of trivia contest. I do like the idea of a contest that speaks to many more members of GW and not just a few...

What kind of contest will fit this bill? Triva...maybe. Sig/Wallpaper...hardly. I will have to think about this for a while and see if I/we can come up with something new. I do like the idea of a holiday theme; though I think that it may be rushed seeing how Christmas is being shoved down our necks with all the holiday commercials telling us NOT TO WAIT ONLY 'X' MORE DAYS OF SHOPPING LEFT!!! <--tangent.
Anyhoot, I hope this happens and look forward to seeing the 'new' ideas.
