Recent contests:
1.Number of posts : within target date ;

Posts such as "thank you" " " you are welcome"
"try gmt" and other one liners also counted .
Users /participants were glued to the
Forum to give a response !.

2. Article on any subject minimum 300 words.
( No copy/paste job allowed )
I won Rs 300/= for three articles and donated to Charity.

Say you announce the contest at 1300 PM and entries close
at 1400 PM or 2100PM. same day.

3. Or specify a subject for articles within a short time frame.

etc.

There was a highest poster contest. I think that will help people stick to the forum and respond immediately. Second is the article writing contest where only a few participated. It ended as there was a change in ownership.

that will lead to ultra spam and no new content. That IMO should be avoided.
