Althought the guidance notes at the start of the section say "NOTE: this is not a place to ask Quiz and Puzzles question, or to give complete sets of answers to crosswords or quizzes" it seems most of those posting questions in this topic are not spotting that bit- perhaps because it comes after the question box.
Some questions then remain not completeley answered as they are overlooked by regular Q&P followers and may give new users the wrong idea about how good the responses are in Q&P etc.
Maybe the topic should be removed.

Nobody ever seems interested in the competitions that I post. I post the ones with unusual prizes.

I've entered a couple from your links, wolfy :-)
Question Author
Yes, wolf- I did notice the only post in recent weeks that was providing adetails of a competition was from you.
I think 'Special offer' may be a better name for the section to hopefully stop all those questions asking for 7 down where's the @@@@@@@cat, etc so people can see posts like yours
Alerting people to special offers and bargains would be a good topic. But do these posts appear on the home page?

Anyhow I am off to my competition site to get caught up with my entries.

Yes, Offers & Comps post appear on the home page whereas Q&P and Crosswords posts don't.
I'm not sure many people know how to find the 'home page' though

If you mean 'Home Page' when you click on AB Logo (with leaves)
I get all 3 Topics on mine.
Question Author
I did mean that 'home page, yes, Baldric- but the list of the 20 most recent threads doesn't include Crosswords or Q&P posts

Ok, you didn't specify 'recent threads' list, I referred to 'Topics' so I agree with you.
As always, I'm considering a category cull - I think this one is still a good idea though? It's just a bit unloved :)
category cull ?
Get rid of the news section .

Then they can all migrate to religion and spirituality
