As it stands, the Photoshop Contest's has it's own sub-forum under the topic of Photoshop and Graphic Design Showroom so it's highly visible.

Within the Photoshop Contests sub-forum, with the exception of today and because of this thread we're in................the actual Challenge thread is always the second in line to the top of the sub-forum.

Now we could certainly make it a sticky, but so far, we've not seen a need to do so for the reason explained above.
I think part of the problem is that most members don't actually visit the forums by using the main topics page. Most use the Activity stream (new posts) or "Today's Posts" (a search function) to view current posts. So, any posts made to a Challenge thread are pushed down the queue and are not visible............out of sight, out of mind. This is where we would need to use an annoying "bump" process to keep the thread at the top of the queue.
So, as you stated, we are somewhat limited by the forum software.
For me, the biggest thing you stated was...........the challenges are a regular thing here in the forum. Any new members who spends more than a month or so on the forum (which most do) know about the challenges. Yet, they don't participate in the challenges or the voting process. They won't even respond to this thread. I'm at a loss here. All I would like to know is why?
I would like to add..................you can PM any of the staff members with your reasons if you don't want to state them publicly.
