I am just a member though. I am sure the people in charge will have a better explanation.
True,

But Where do people go when they have a photography question? To the photo section.. Why not have the photo section completely free to use and discus and for the photo contest have a locked forum for the members? Which I kinda don't understand with this being an aquarium forum and not a photography forum. Not to put anyone down, but the winning photo for the year is not that great as far as a photographer is concerned. I think a more appropriate contest for the forum would be judging on how the aquarium looks and the health of the corals and fish, not the photo. I mean this IS an aquarium forum.
