New Features, May 23

[Bix Team]

Well, we finished up all our behind the scenes projects to allow Bix to take on a lot more traffic from our friends across the Yahoo! network so it is time for some site changes.

• The faceoff page looks a little different. We've tried to make the enter contest flow more obvious for everyone and regrouped some of the information on the right side of the page. Newly created contests will use our new platform, which is much faster but mostly you won't see anything different. For new contests we've change the points system to just tally votes and we've removed reviews from new contests since our comment board enhancements seem to be doing the trick.
  
• Ads on the site. Yes, yes, we've added ads to the site, we are evil. But wait... does this mean that there are even more opportunities for advertisers to set up paid contests?!? Ahhhh....
  
• Text contests are going into the shop. We've temporarily removed the ability to create these until we find a better way to do this.
  
• Clubs are dead for now. Not enough people using it so we'll keep thinking through this one.
  

Look forwards to lots of changes in the future.

Best,
Leonard
