    Is anyone interested in another contest or should we wait until summer or something?

    Well... As I am into social media, let`s utilise the contest to spread the word about Frog Forum. For example, CONTEST: post a story of your first frog here on the board to enter. FOR EXTRA ENTRIES: Post something about this contest as your Facebook status (linking back to the Frog Forum FB page) - good for one ballot.
    Tweet about this contest on Twitter and post the link to your tweet here - good for one ballot.

    Uhhh....I'm not on face book and I don't even know what twitter is.
    I think you would have to explain the process to a few of us.

    I like it! It would be a great way to expand the frog & toad care articles as well as meet the frog. Jenna and I have several articles on aquatic frogs.

    I know I'm sorry I couldn't help it. I love your new avatar by the way, was that Mickey or Mallory's reaction to my comment? >> XD

    As for the contest, I really like Eric's idea about the stories about our frogs, but then again a contest like that would be hard to judge and even if the result was picked out of a hat it would probably end up being personal. How would you pick your favorite frog story anyway...? Which one just called out to you? It might end up looking like playing favorites, but I do really like the idea. Maybe we can work on it and make it less personal?

    I still like the "Write a care article for your favorite frog" idea, the only thing is, again, the newbies might be out-shadowed by the more professional and experienced members...

    What if...to make it more fair. We had two tiers to the contest? One for newbies only and one for more experienced members only? We'd end up with two winners, but it would be much easier for us n00bs out there to get noticed, and this way we could compete against people who share our talent level, the same with the experienced members. Of course that would require two prizes...

    I don't know...just some brainstorming from me, I'd really like to work on this though so give me some feed back please!

    I say axe the FB and Twitter ideas, sorry Eric, but this is all about Frog Forum! Don't bring your other websites into this or I will strike thee down with the mighty hammer of my fist! D<

    ...Nah, just kidding. Kind of...>>
