[Updates] Aha. :D

[Pinkylicious]

re: [January Updates] Oh yeah. ;]

Ah, I see, xD. Would be nice if people actually bother, but now that we got a mod, let's hope this section get a lot more lively than usual ^^

I do hope so too, but it will take a while. :]

Best would be to start it after it has been made known and everything has been organised to get the maximum amount of participants. But of course, the faster it starts the faster people will be informed about it, too. About the award, guess I'll ask Checkmate and co. first whether we will implement a standard vBulletin award system or whatever.

Which actually equals almost everything, lol. Raising interest is what needs to be done. Well, I guess we don't really have an open artistic community yet as of now, but once things like GFX and writings etc get cranked up let's hope people will be enticed to participate as well - which is one of the goals of having competitions themselves.

Hmm yeah, I guess this is very important... since we can develop one that gets the most attention. From what I've seen in various boards, commonly GFX is more appreciated than writing and the others, but it doesn't mean that it'll always be the same everywhere. To find out about it, I guess if we are to make competitions then we will have to make one for each field equally (like if there's a weekly competition for GFX, there has to be one for writing too or so) and see which catches the most attention?

Have you asked Checkmate and the rest? I think that first has to be established before we can start the competition... The award could be an additional attraction to the members. :]

Yup, I guess we should aim for the publicity too, we could start small, because atleast we’re heading somewhere already. ;] But like what I’ve said, better get the award system ready first.

Yeaa the usual then o.o sounds cool, might enter lols. anyways imo its best to stick with 1 for now, like sotw. and when it gets more entries like, idk 10-15?. you can expand it with even more compeitions for gfx. since starting many things competitions quickly doesnt exactly means you get more people. Well thats just a personal note i noticed anyways.
Just saying but this is like seen in soooo many places but wont a render section boost publicity to the site and this section too?

Since well i delete freaking lots of spam as a gfx mod in another forum lols. and well everyday people render new stuff to add into it too.

So its expanding and people will come in to take a look and people will notice the competitions more too.

Just an idea in expanding the section anyways

Oh and nice to see you pinky, i think i came across you in eXa long ago but didnt really chat much then >.>

Yey, it’s actually good to know that there are already members that are actually on-the-go to join the sotw. I think that’s a great news. ^^ Yup, it’s hard to get alot of people at first, but like what i’ve mentioned to Ignis, better start somewhere. ;]

About the render section, do you have rules about it or guidelines? That sounds interesting too. But if we'll open a render section, the publicity still has to be given attention. xD Maybe you can refer renderers in our forum. ;] Maybe they could be given “titles” like graphic renderers or somesort. :]

Nice to see you too, Fuyuiro, yup, I think I remember you too, but i’ve been gone for a looong time. :]]

re: [January Updates] Oh yeah. ;]

Yeah, I have, but we have yet to decide on what kind of award system to use. May try out a few things and let you know the results later on if we have decided.

On a second thought, I agree with Fuyuiro - getting focused is best, so maybe let's just start with SOTW unless anyone has anything else in mind (I mean SOTW is a very typical and simple competition, there's not much to make a fuss of).

Renders section? I have no idea how many would contribute, though~

Just notify me for updates, Ignis. ^^ Maybe i'll start a thread now, but not SOTW but SOTM so that members can have longer time for submission?

And the render section is quite hard to obtain because we're only beginning but if someone could refer us to them and then they would also render here, maybe we can start one. :]]

re: [January Updates] Oh yeah. ;]

You need not worry about the award system, Pinky. We'll take care of it. You may now commence the SOTM and let members know about it. We may not have enough entries in a week, so let's go with a monthly one first.

As about renders section, maybe not now. If anyone does want to post renders (of their own of course) though, feel free to post so in this section. If we get enough renders, I will reconsider about letting them have their own section.

re: [January Updates] Oh yeah. ;]

Hmm, I think I'll have the SOTM under a brand new section just in case we have more competitions later. Should be done in a bit.

Mmm leave that to me, planning to move the discussion posts to a new thread too and do some other tweaking that might require administrator privileges.

re: [January Updates] Oh yeah. ;]

That settled it I guess, let me know if you find anything wrong with the new section.
