What happened here guys? We no longer use the battles system?

I see all of this activity prior in this thread, but it appears to have had no recent activity. What's the deal?

It took me some time to get into the Battles, but now I quite enjoy the challenge. However, just lately the Battles System seems to have suffered the same sort of rot that the rest of the site is experiencing - I think in the last couple of battles there were only two entrants and very few voters. Winning a battle by one vote is all well and good, but not when it's the only vote that has been cast. "Winning" a battle when yours is the only entry is even more disheartening.

I've set up a few battles in the past, so I'll see what I can come up with. In the meantime, the system is there for anyone else to contribute. If you're totally stuck for ideas, you could always have a look at Worth1000 or DP Challenge for inspiration.

@Tamlin: First of all, thank you for taking the initiative to set up some new battles. I'm sure I'll suck at them, but will gladly participate. Hopefully we can get some activity rolling.

Furthermore, in response to the links you posted.. I didn't know those pages existed or I would probably have gone ahead and created some. With that said, I think you should make a sticky thread or something in this forum in which those links are provided. This would help give users the tools they need to start a battle.

I see you beat me to it, so I've stuck your thread (and added a couple more links to it).

Sounds good.
