Veteran's Contest?

[Mao]

Hello...so I've been reading about this veteran's contest that seems to have ended. Congrats to the winners, but is there any possible way I can get a look at some of the questions? What were they about? etc.

[Nubclear]

No.

Go away n00b.

[Gramphos]

I think it has been taken offline. Ask DC

[Theben]

There was still an active link to it from the veteran's contest thread last month.

Oh, and hi Mao. Long time no see.

[DarkCloud]
