This shouldn't be a competition. Shit topics shouldn't exist. If good topics don't exist either then we have a dead board, no big deal but at least we know there is no interest. Now it's not clear if there is no interest, or if good posters are discouraged to step into the pile of shit.

Keep in mind that producing shit is much easier than producing non-shit so you can't really win against shit on any kind of pseudo-level playing ground.
