It really isn't that hard to run the contests once the software works with the web pages. I'm sure some day they'll break my software by changing something in a way I can't figure out how to fix but so far I've been able to brute force fixes that get it running.
I wouldn't mind if the CatsIllustrated programmers gave a cookie or something that told me when a post has been deleted. I could make the SUP contest run much better.
I am glad that people enjoy the contests even if the prize is simply the bragging rights over other posters.
