Another thing.
I think we might have to admit that the image challenges are becoming a little stale. There's a sudden burst of reposts and new pictures for the first three days and by Monday, it's tailed off to a dribble. At the same time, we have some excellent suggestions that come second in the vote that are then never heard of again. Why not have a major one on a Thursday and a secondary one on the Monday with the second choice? It'd even out the distribution a bit.

Things have got tougher.
I didn't have to remove any appendages to donate back in the day.

Ah, but then we get bigger spikes and still the same dead patches on Monday and Tuesday.
And you know what else? The winner should get a badge in the post. Like Blue Peter, but with less street cred. We put enough content this way (and therefore advertising revenue), so Rob can shell out for a pile of crappy "Rob fingered my pic for the win" pin badges, complete with a picture of him dressed as Jimmy Savile.
