Sorry guys. Andy is on leave this week so it won't be happening.

If you want Malik start a contest here. I'd throw in a $25 prize to the winner. Can send money to the winner via paypal.

So bummed about this.

Is Andy the only one who can set up and authorize contests now? Any way to delegate this and give Opti or another mod some leadership role on contests? Thanks

As a contractor I can't be made responsible for company employee type responsibilities, due to labor laws across the many jurisdictions the company works in and employs people from.

And right now Andy is the only one who can arrange, handle and approve forum spending. He's had a happy personal issue that has seen him need some extra leave lately, so I think he was just so busy in between times off he just did not get to it.

I like they care enough about the contests to miss this one so much. To try and be positive about them.
