		<description>Good write up Yan!

From Modoshi's LeaderBoard postings, it seems the incentive for people to post (earning prizes) can actually become a stumbling block, as people explicitly stated that they will stop posting as Modoshi has ceased to give out prizes.

Well, you know the site is on the way out when the developers have lost interested on it. You do need more than a community -- a "Benevolent Dictator" could be useful sometimes.</description>
