@Kyrbi0 well i suggested it before, heinvers picked it up, and here we are.. or am i not understanding your question..?
I think you are, in the negative. So basically, there was no public Poll, a "Theme Poll", to help determine what this Contest's Theme should be?
Now, please understand, what I say next I say fully realizing that
I myself have done the exact opposite (i.e. the same thing you did here). In fact, I did so for a Hero Contest, and I believe
@HappyCockroach did so for a (Mini?) Modeling Contest. But in 99% of all Hive Contests, there is a public "Theme" Poll beforehand to find out what the
community wants to do, and it's an important part of the process, lest we end up... well, where we are right here/now (i.e. few if any interested parties).
Again, I get the potential hypocrisy: all I can say is, sometimes one is lucky and picks something that everyone else truly
is interested in (both of the aforementioned non-Poll Contests were reasonably successful, I'd say). But if you ram-rod an idea through straight to a Contest (as we did), you may or may not find success with it.
Even though you were responding to Arowanna, this quote is quite telling in this regard:

... silliness aside tho, i really don't know what you people find fun to do.. the whole theme seemed interesting to me
Yeah... That's because you didn't run a Poll asking them what they found fun to do. ; )
Now, I wish this Contest all the best, and am still considering taking up the mantle if only to see if finished rather than discarded (though you would definitely be a better candidate). But if few are interested... Perhaps we can just let this pass on.
