So I signed up to YoYoExpert so my friend could have an account. (David) And I was reading the welcoming PM with him. I found that it says this: > [@admin](#): > > Hello gm user, > Welcome to [YoYoExpert Forums](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php)!!! > > We are very excited to have you here and look forward to working with you in your journey through the wonderful hobby and sport of yo-yoing. > > First come introduce yourself here: > [Introduce Yourself! - General Yo-Yo - YoYoExpert](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php?topic=16.0) > > If you have any questions at all never hesitate to send us an email, private message, or visit our contact link above.  Remember to find out when chat night happens and have fun!!! > > -YoYoExpert > “Make the Simple Amazing!” I bolded that part; Remember to find out when chat night happens and have fun!!! We don’t really have the chat night anymore, so I just thought I would bring this to notice. If you could change it that would be great! Thanks ---

Oh yeah, that should probably be changed. Or maybe one of the eXperts could try to do chat night? ---

Chat night is still there, its just not a contest anymore. Its just the time that most people get onto chat. ---

> [@SR1](#): > > I wish there were still contests though. :-\ According to Andre, he is working on a new approach to them. Too many people to use the chat room. (Not according to Andre anymore) That “Post to Win” contest was probably a temporary replacement for the Chat contest, because we didn’t have any contests for a while. ---

samad held the contest once i think he did great and it was fun so i think that andre should have the prize be like a 100 pack of string or some thing and have the xperts host it in turn every week ---
