Well, here's my little story:
Since I became active on Fansub TV, there were only 4 GFX competitions (and the voting for the fifth is about to end). That is counting since late October. Alternatively, most other forums I have been at have had over 10 (at least!) similar competitions during the same time. What I noticed is that, eventually, people lose interest in Fansub comps because they are so slow. They take some time to make a sig for Fansub, and then move elswhere until the current Tokyo Artist Dome competition ends.
Conclusion: I think slow GFX competitions lower people's interest in Tokyo Art dome and Fansub TV Boards in general.
My suggestion: We should speed the competitions up a bit. I have heard other people say it, and I repeat here: two weeks is more than enough for competition entries (as opposed to a month), as well as 3-5 days for voting (most of the votes are given in the first couple of days and then the poll stands open for another few days while we waste time; then, it takes about another week to announce results and make a new comp).
Please let me know what you think, especially the forum moderators, since you have the opportunity to implement such changes. If anything, getting an extra modetator to take care of this small stuff while DoR is busy would not hurt Fansub.
