That's one of the first things I thought of when you announced the Rev share system. Took pressure of who got what monthly vote. I think stopping the monthly vote is great.
Voting did make me view some of the flashes I missed for the month, but I think in the long run this will be much better.
Maybe once the REVshare system has develpoed and is generating money on a regular basis, contests can become more frequent than just the holiday themed ones to draw new talent/flash.
