not a lot of activity in the contests

Maybe we can blame El Nino for the lack of chopperz. I chop for fun, and its nice having sites of similar minded people but I can't quite understand what has changed in the last 12 months when chopperz were everywhere and now they are a rarity. We all know the sites for the pro's which is why we come here and similar sites to relax and have a laugh, Pro sites are too stiff and serious leaning. I actually thought sites like this would be growing as more people have photoshop but it seems to be the opposite. Cash over street cred? I prefer the bragging rights/rites myself....introduction of cash to this game changes the rules and lowers the fun barrier. Cash = butt plugg.
