Will the EA Forum continue to have cash prizes?

Yes, for the next six months (as an extension of our original three-month test). We don't have any active plans to change the system, but it's possible that we might for some of those six months. Feedback has been highly positive so far, but we'd still like to collect more data on how the prize influences readership and authorship.

(The February prize will be announced around the end of this month; our process was a bit delayed from the usual timeline, since we spent the first two weeks of March collecting feedback and discussing our options.)
