And I want to ask some other members what they gained from this contest.
They killed the spirit of the contest.

First see the result.

I don't want to say anything about the winners 1st - 3rd, I think they know very well what they gained.
I sent 22,333 hits and I got 20 signup, 1 signup per 1,116.65 hits (not bad).

I highlighted the results of some members, and want to ask them "what did you gain from this contest ??"
I think you need to reconsider about your strategy of traffic contest.
As our Admin said here
One thing is for sure: it was the last traffic contest. The amount of work/time compared to the outcome is totally not worth it.
I can't write even one good thing about the last traffic contest so I will just stop here before I am going to offend anybody.
He is going to stop traffic contest.

We (the participants of last traffic contest) are responsible for this bad news. And the members who were getting benefits from the traffic contests are going to lose this advantage.
Don't want to say anymore, else, some members will get offended.
