Is there any way for us users to see what is planned, and try to influence the design?
And whats wrong with having a huge donation drive and then hiring a team to make the site?

Do the M@d. Crossover. or just the general Big Contest. that way we can promote MORE amv uploads, a REASON to LEARN to upload and get good at it. and MORE "active" members from other amv communities to join in ours. why do you think russian sites like akross and news has so much activity compared to us? because they have better reasons to attract other communities members and to KEEP them there.

PLUS i cant see people putting the logo in their amvs for very long b4 deciding that their too lazy or their not just an org user.

We can't hold most of those - mainly because it's bad to rip off other's contests, and ripping off ALL of them would be just... ewww.
...
We have something planned - it's a secret so far, though, mainly because it's not really sure it'll be done.

Not really - taking part in a contest can't guarantee you that the AMV itself will be good. There're a lot of bad AKROSS vids with AKROSS logo in them - nobody knows them, though.
