Participation has indeed fallen off quite a bit. For example, Sue Anne Rush used to participate a lot but I've not seen anything from her in months.

In a larger sense that's normal. I was once a member of a Yahoo group called Digital Rebels (before YGs went belly up). In the late 2000s we had weekly challenges, our own year's four best images, etc. But there was no judging involved, just peer critique and commentary. It was a lot of fun while it lasted.

I agree the key to survival here will be simplicity. I have to say the current situation is a bit unexpected but I guess through a consensus we can do what we want. I don't know if the MCs have (had) an 'owner' in any sense, who should be involved in the decision making. I'm not pushing anything, just wondering.

From a participation standpoint, my challenge is to just shoot...

Well said Len!

My main thought is that we'll all be too polite; nothing may happen for quite a while. In a way it would be better to have a bossy owner who takes charge...

Things are even worse for MCs over on the Powershot forum. I agree it's probably time for a change.

If we change the MCs to something a bit too general and easy it may overlap with the weekly sharing threads run by Digramme, and that would be a real shame.
