I have growing stacks of books I'd love to use as give aways for forum contests, but I'm having a hard time coming up with contests that would be for the forums only, and wouldn't take too much time to judge.

Any thoughts?

How about giving away a book a week (for a month, say) to the person who:

1. Brings in the most new members (cannot be old members returning)
2. Starts a topic on something that has never been discussed and CAN be discussed (no ugly stuff, you know?)
3. The people who post something, anything, even replies, EVERY DAY for one solid week. They must have a SHOWING on here for one week, every day. (In this case you could be giving away a lot of books)
4. To the person who does the BEST and GOODEST (I know, it's not a word) DEED to someone this week.


Okay, that's four....anybody else?

HOw about if you ask members for a quote (of their own) and then the rest of us have to figure out who said it? The one who gets the most of them right wins...?

* is some type of a lottery legal, instead of numbers - boomer terms?
* how 'bout boomer riddles
* a boomer who done it, with boomer clues
* passwords - boomer terms
* post an image with hidden boomer items and whoever finds them all, wins - remember the "find the items" page in the kids magazine, "Highlights"

Just a reminder, it has to be semething that is easily decided, something that won't take time to track. Know what I mean?
