Better yet, why not just give top sponsors stickies at a better rate instead of having them be forced to run contest threads all month? The sponsor gets the exposure without having to track a contest, the board makes a few more bucks, and the actual adult webmasters on the site don't have to dig through 8 contest threads on the homepage at all times.

Lets face it, contest threads have very few adult webmasters in them these days.
