You know, I was just looking through the galleries of the challenges so far that we have had and something struck me. I wonder why these challenges don’t attract more participation from all those new folks that have joined the forum within the last several months. For me these challenges have provided an opportunity to try a whole lot of new techniques and in some cases forced me to tackle something that I wouldn’t have otherwise done. I have found my participation to not only be enjoyable, but a wonderful learning opportunity and a chance to challenge myself and share my results with others who are doing the same.
The other thing I was wondering about, is that there seemed to be a lot more comments and interaction between the participants then there is lately. And I wonder what that means. Any one got any ideas???
I agree with you NorthStarr,
the activity in the challenges has dropped noticable. I have learned a lot when I participated but I haven’t taken on a challange since the ‘bug’ challenge as I usually run out of time and finish the task 2 weeks too late 
. There is surely the lack of time but also my lack of skill that prevents me from finishing.
I think, I might be wrong, many of the new users of ZB are working in the game industry and are not necessarily interested in the art side of ZB and see therefor little point in participating in a challenge.
I’ll certainly come back to a chanllenge once Z2 is available for the Mac. October appear to become a interesting month 
It’s going to be awesome when our MAC friends finally get their upgrade. They must have so much pent up frustration, I hope they blow this board away. We need it, this place is not what it used to be…sorry to say.
Yep I know what you mean sirQ. If it weren’t for the challenges I don’t know if I would be posting at all anymore. We used to be able to carry a thread for a long time with comments and stuff. The last time I posted something that wasn’t for a challenge, I don’t think anyone saw it at all. Maybe our Mac users will help pick up the spirit or something when they get their new ZB.
