No New Contest in HubPages?
- khmohsinposted 14 years ago
0I remember that there was few contest in hubpages, like 28 days contest daily Puzzle questions, but from long time i never see any kind of contest,
contest create more interest of users, I suggest to team of hubpages to start few contest for members, it will also help users to increase hubscore and participate more here, there should be some entertainment
People all have their different preferences, and that's fine; but, personally, I'm not a big fan of contests, competitions, or anything else that seems, to me, to be aimed at entertainment or anything that introduces competition. I know some people like them because sometimes it's another chance to get some money. I don't want compete for my money, or trust it to luck. Puzzles, to me, remind me of fifth grade (or something).
I ignore all contests and competitions and participate in spite of the fact that they're sometimes going on, as well as when they're not going on.
Anyway, just another viewpoint for the discussion on contests and puzzles.
In spite of my blunt candor, I don't want this post to come across like "reading the riot act" whatsoever. (It's just that I hate contests so much. 
I'd love to see them all disappear forever.

Confused. Hubmobs, Contests... always lost.
