b)If you don't spend time on the above organization, you end up with a whole heap of low content, low value competitions and posts, such as one I saw on polycount which was pretty much "Make a melee weapon for a game lol" which then devolved into people posting pictures of dildos and going haha guys wouldnt it be funny if we made this as a melee weapon amirite?

Looking forward to the new competition guys, I haven't had the chance to participate in one of the new GAMC's yet.
I guess you haven't been around then. (I know that's not true, but it's for emphasis) The old staff held regular competitions all the time, and even when they switched to the GMAC they were holding one each month. The last competition was way back last year in November. The GMAC is already established so it's not like there needs a lot of thought to start a new competition, it doesn't take 3 months to think up of a new theme.

That sounds harsh for the new staff, but anyone that has been here knows that the competitions are the main dynamic of these forums.

lol of course I am just annoyed that there wasn't a competition during the holiday break in December. I was swamped and was unable to to participate in a lot of the GMAC's, but during the break I finally had the time and there wasn't one.
