Looks good to me! But I have nothing to contribute, unfortunately ... (except my participation in the challenge, of course)

Is the 6 week challenge completely dead? Haven't been on the forum for a long time and am sad to see it gone :'(. Was looking forward to finally doing a run again.

I think Elon Musk killed it. Like the Super Challenge it used a Twitter bot for scoring and Elon changed the API to require payment above a certain level.

If the Super Challenge is done next year it will probably be run on Mastodon... But I don't know about the 6 week challenge maybe someone else knows more?

Has anyone had any thoughts about reviving the 6 Week Challenge some way? It was one of the main things that kept me coming back here, and kept me on track.

Anyone know Google Docs well enough to try there?

The original 6 Week Challenge is returning in February! Send your email address via private message (not tweet!) to https://twitter.com/6WCBot if you want your 6 Week Challenge account to include the data from your previous challenges. Otherwise you will be able to register a new blank account at https://6wc.learnlangs.com in February.

Registrations for the February 6 Week Challenge are now open and the site has an all-new look thanks to polyglot Adam Scott. This will be so much better than the Twitter bot, which was never accessible to everyone.

Let's go! https://6wc.learnlangs.com

If you want to reclaim a user name that you had in the past (on Twitter), write to the 6 Week Challenge bot on Twitter, tell it your email address, and it will send you a password.
