I couldn't care less if it is uncool to post in content threads, but the fact is I never look at them because so many are going to be won by people (or their bots) who have nothing else to do with their time, except to try to hit post # whatever.

Sure they are not all like that, but in the same way that sometimes the board "characters" may post something remotely intelligent or entertaining, it isn't worth sifting through the dreck for the occasional nugget.

Your competition and Python's have in common is that both required more than just posting inane remarks until the right number comes up. But that's all the audience for competitions here now are expccting and are apparently willing to do.

When the lowest common denominator is catered for too well and too long, that is all you end up with...
