Well, Ahui, I wasn't going to say anything here. But definitely glad I have a
loyal convert to back me up ;-)
I hope the wording I am using on the site, combined with the occasional polite
assertion here make a difference over time. But, its people who are going to
have to embrace the preferred terminology, and that'll take time. Just like
.DAT and .LDR.
This is fodder for the BricksWest LDraw Community Roundtable ;-)

I'm thinking that dividing the contest this way would be the only appropriate
way to handle the multiple winner situation. Jacob and Fredrik made valid
points against limiting past winners.

Didn't you know LDraw.org is by nature space-biased? We have me, a Space nut,
Steve, a Space nut, Terry, a Space nut, and Jacob, well, he does all themes, but
still does some space. :-)
All in good fun, but...
Actually, its a good thing to embrace a variety of themes on the site - but,
unless we break up the contests into theme categories, it will be balanced
towards what theme gets the most entries. And we don't have the volume of
monthy entries (yet, I hope) to warrant themed divisions.
I love Cale Leiphart's Castle submissions too. Excellent lighting effects and
framing on the latest 'Fight' scene he sent in.
