How many of you have seen the new "name that toy" contest we've been running? What do you think of ... more
I think it's fun, but it's not doing what Gary hoped it would do.

There is a plan to have a program somewhat similar to the mentor program where new members of the community are paired up with a big brother/sister to show them the ropes of the community since it is overwhelming.

Its been a lot of fun. I am not sure that a lot of people know about it. Something added to the title may help there. Like "Weekly Round up and contest" may bring in more folks.

I think it is a neat idea, but I have not played since I don't know the toys that well.

I would have to agree with that. What would you do to make it work better, if anything?

Well, until it goes live, please feel free to ask pretty much anyone in the community if you have questions. Everyone is very helpful.

Maybe change up the way it's done? Maybe every few days Gary could release another portion of the picture so it bumps the thread and more people may then guess. To be honest, so far they've been fairly easy so there aren't multiple guesses from people.

Is there a way to have the Review Rumble and Round up permanently locked to the forums? That may keep it upfront in every body's mind.

I so wish that all forum posts from Gary like this would stay at the top of the forum until the next one went up. they get buried so fast

Honestly, I wish EF would take away the points associated with polls/posting. While it may keep the forums more active, its almost useless activity.

Well the problem is that the Weekly Roundup is meant to be sort of a recap of everything that's happened that week, not just another chance for a gift card.
