Actually, all 3 of our anniversaries are coming up:
- Graduation: 2011/08/02
- Private beta: 2010/08/25
- Public beta: 2010/09/01
So, let's do a contest to celebrate our anniversary!
- A contest based around improving the site in some way? (answering or closing old questions; tag wiki fixes; flagging chatty or obsolete comments; etc)
- go silly and have a contest for best avatar or ...?
- something that's not contest-format at all?
Throw out some ideas for a contest format!
We'll have to figure out prizes, but I'm pretty sure we can get Stack Exchange to do something... Probably multiple smaller prizes of stack exchange swag (SE t-shirt, bicycles.SE water bottles, etc) and a larger prize or two of something bicycle-related from Amazon or a large internet bicycle retailer.
If there needs to be judges, us moderators can do it...
Here's a couple examples of similar contests:
- Unix & Linux Birthday Contest (focused on cleaning up old abandoned questions)
- Super User's 2nd Birthday Super Contest
