I disagree Rannek, and here's why;

Contests in forums are always known to bring in a huge influx of traffic initia;ly throughout the contest, but then it dies back down again right after, maybe gaining 10 or so new regular posting members offering fresh insights. I think a contest would be a massive waste of money.

TalkFreelance shows so much potential that goes unused. I would put more restrictions on the market place, more focus on quality articles and quality posts / ideas and if I was the owner, Big Zee, I would monetize the forums properly.

I can't imagine TF bringing in anywhere near the amount of revenue it should be.
