To bad it was yesterday as this is exactly the kind of event we could do well in.
DirtBike did something similar with a couple popular off roading online forums; they contacted a handful of big sites and basically said to build a bike that best represents your online community (with all decisions being discussed by the members) and submit it to DirtBike in a month. They then did a shootout with all the bikes and put it in an article.
It seems that it is becoming more popular to pit online forums against each other, and personally I think it is a great idea. Having CT go up against the likes of 2+2, FTR, etc. would be a pretty fun time I reckon.
