No. Primarily for the reason that dior29 posts below. A mega-thread of different sweeps is harder to follow than individual threads re: particular sweeps, and having separate threads makes it easy for FTers to skim through to determine which one(s) they want to enter.

Since this forum is specifically for contest sweeps, I'm a bit perplexed why having individual threads is considered spammy.

It also keeps things separated, in case there's further discussion about a particular sweeps.

And not to be all "We've always done it this way," but we've always done it this way.
What dior29 said, except I'm the opposite. Since I'm single I don't enter the sweeps that are for family/4 people.

Generic comments:

I don't post sweeps in the forum as frequently as I used to in the past, but I do post a lot of them when I post - anywhere from 50 to 150 sweeps.

I still have more to post & will get to it yet this weekend. What some don't realize is that it takes a few hours of my time to post them all when I post sweeps - anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. That's time I've giving up to give back to my fellow FTers.

The method we've used for the last 10 years re: individual sweeps threads is the one we'll (or at least I) will stick with when posting sweeps in the future.

Cheers.
