Because you see yourself as Spock?

Come, lay down on this couch. We'll talk about the complexities of that admission

It’s been awhile since ConstrucToys ran its last contest. I actually thought
that our contests we've run throughout the years, would continue without
the popsicle influence. That’s clearly not the case, it seems now. Don’t know
why, really. But the why doesn’t really matter, does it? What does matter, is
whether there any longer exists an appreciation for the contest in the
forum?

Let us know and we’ll consider sponsoring them again. It could be that today’s
forum no longer needs the dynamic excitement and distraction the forum contest
has offered members over the years.

i tried doing one this past week regarding the Ukraine war thread....

Bricklink deleted it for some reason

i don't think BL wants the Communities input on that subject.

i've pretty much given up on this Forum.
but feel free to hang out here for numerous hours everyday.

Read that... Bold, I thought. I admire bold.

As to "hang out here for numerous hours everyday" It's the only
online space I've ever been a part of, the BL forum. I don't have any
other online presence, due to past activities and somewhat by personal choice.

hence .....

when members who previously disagreed on a topic talk to each other civiliy &
BL cancels their conversation.
maybe we are suppossed to fight the entire time in this forum...

sad when helping someone who says they are not part of many online communities
and recommending a fun site where you could run contests & be part of another
online community gets blocked & erased...

no, no, no, Pop...

oh, that isn't allowed, you belong to BL

good luck with your contests if you run them.

Cory, I presumed that this was part of your marketing for your store.

  That’s clearly not the case, it seems now. Don’t know why, really.

This is the first I have heard/read of your expectations. We can not read your
mind or infer this from anything you have posted previously.

  But the why doesn’t really matter, does it? What does matter, is whether there any longer exists an appreciation for the contest in the forum?

That seems to be obvious, to me, by all of the "Thanks Popsicle" when
a contest is run.

  Let us know and we’ll consider sponsoring them again.

As a previous winner, I am and would be appreciative.

  It could be that today’s forum no longer needs the dynamic excitement and distraction the forum contest has offered members over the years.

I doubt that. My 2 cents, maybe you could leave posts up (in the contest sub
forum) and not cancel them so other could read them and be inspired.
