I've noticed a difference between the respective Creation Centre sections of the TS and TSW forums. Any TSW screenshot contests that've passed and are no longer active are unpinned and they eventually "fade away", so to speak. Any TS screenshot contests that've passed and are no longer active remain pinned and stay on the first page of the TS forum Creation Centre taking up space, so to speak. Well moving right along with it, my suggestion is to unpin the TS screenshot contests that've passed, had a winner declared, and become inactive save for the usual rounds of congratulations, leaving the first page of the Creation Centre section open to more threads that're actually active.
The entire thread should be deleted once it has served its purpose. That sub-forum is a mess. Do we really need all the old threads kept stickied at the top like a pile of rotting carcasses?
I agree that they should be unpinned from the forum once that weeks winner has been announced and the new contest starts. However, they shouldn't be deleted as it is a way to track winners so they don't pick someone again a few weeks after they originally won.
Apologies for the potentially unnecessary bump and ping, but I thought it best to bring it directly to your attention DTG Jamie.
