So the exclamation mark is used to designate excitment or strong feeling. Now if you go to the front page and have a look at the list of contest you will notice that there is only one contest with a exclamtion mark behind it. I take that to mean there is only one contest with any excitement to it!:biggrin:

The exclamation is also used to designate desperation. For example:
Please, Please, Please notice me!
Come to my contest, I need to feel wanted!
You get the idea? :rotfl:

Excellent point, Mike. :wink:
However, it is also used to caution against unfavorable conditions such as:
Danger! This contest may consume inordinate amounts of time and prevent you from completing a more worthwhile pursuit such as the Limited Modification Kit Pen contest!
OR
Warning!! Repetitive exposure to shameless contest promotion may result in bleeding eyes and possible vision loss! Save yourself the possible health risks by completing a 7mm kit pen and leave the IAP searching to trained professionals!!!
This has been a public service announcement...:biggrin:
