Hidden contests forum?

I made it there when going through new posts, but I don't see any way to navigate to it.

If you guys are trying to advertise premium membership this way, you aren't going to get much traffic.

Here's the link list, but I cannot see a way to get there (other than happening upon a post - there is only 1 from a user in the 2 existing threads). It's not in the navigation drop down at the bottom of the pages either.

Hmmm... Looks like the avenue which the admins use to announce the contests. It is very obscure.

Re: Hidden contests forum?

It's actually a strange work-around the we came up with. When we do premium contests, I have to send a link to the studio rep so they know that we actually ran one and promoted their product. They can't access the premium part of the site, and it would be a royal pain creating a log for each rep we work with so the stealth forum was created. We put the contests up there (though you can't enter through that post... there's a link to the premium forum contest page) and I send those links to the studios.

Thanks for letting us know, John. That actually makes a great deal of sense!

Stuff like that fascinates me (I'm weird). Interesting workaround.
