I know about the contest as my old friend @blanchy is posting about it regularly 😏
Based on what I've seen and what you've told me, here's my 2 cents.
70 weeks is a long time and it's still going. It's a nice initiative to attract new and old users too, as well as learn about new tunes, while connecting, making good friends. So if you can foresee a growth or at least maintain the current level, then it's a good idea.
However, please be aware of the responsibilities coming with managing a community. You're going to get some spammers, as that's inevitable and you're going to have to monitor the community on a daily bases, guide users, encourage them. This is what a good community leader does and it's the right thing to do.
Long term it is definitely a good idea as Hive is growing. You will need a couple of people, mods to help you, but I'm sure you can manage that. It's a lot more work then just running the contest in a community managed by others, but as I said, if you think you can grow it, give it a try.
Excellent advise @erikah - thanks a million. I might even have a potential mod in @blanchy to lend a hand. I'll stew it over for a few days and see how we go.
You're welcome and I'm glad you're going to give @blanchy work 😂 Two people are enough to split the work.
Sleep on it as there's no rush, then you'll see. Good luck and let me know if you need more help :)
