It's super cool and all, but also kind of ominous? I feel like something more inviting might be a better fit.

Oh awesome! I didn't know that was a thing.

Maybe I will do that

Hey I’m the moderator and yes that’s exactly what happened. It was an “autumn theme” woodworking contest. I was just thinking that it would be great to do another contest. Would you like to pick a theme? Could be something like “make a tissue box” or “make something Christmas themed”.

Not that I'm against the seasonal theme or anything, but could the theme just be focused around what the new thumbnail picture should be?

Maybe 'build one of your favorite things that represents woodworking and the best one with the most votes gets to be the new thumbnail picture.' Or something like that 🤷‍♂️

I'll get to work on my coffin!

Well, it's summer.

So it'd be picket fence, decks and patios, planter boxes, Adirondack chairs...
