This part of the contest section is still growing -- fairly soon you'll see better formatting of the various RPGC threads, applicable stickies, guided discussions, and the like. But I wanted to quickly clarify, before it gets all regimented-looking and pretty, that the discussion tab is not a staff-only section -- this is an area where you guys can do pretty much anything vaguely contest-related that you like. The shared vision between me and Mahz and at least several of the old WOTM managers is that "Forum Contests" isn't just about one specific staff running its own show -- this is a place where you can talk about what you'd like to see, what you'd like to do, and heck, maybe even start organizing your own totally independent contests (maybe we can give you pointers for how to organize things, or maybe you can give US pointers, it's all cool).

The discussion tab is, more or less, a special off-topic section. All the same off-topic rules apply (keep the spam in spam, be Fonz cool, etc), but you're totally free to make threads, pitch ideas, start a dedicated thread to talk about that one entry in that one contest that you really liked -- this whole area is for you guys. Maybe you've got a theme or a special twist on the rules that you think would be really cool, but you don't have time to join a contest crew -- if you post about it, and get lots of thumbs-ups or replies about people liking it, maybe we can roll it into the next contest. Maybe you've got a cool method for writing helpful reviews that you can share? All sorts of cool things that you could use this section for, and you're not just limited to stuff I said here.....

anyway even though I'm not completely finished making "OFFICIALIZED" rules, I wanted to state our intent that yes, you're totally free to use this area as you like, within reasonable reasonableness. Enjoy!
