habsfannova Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Most definatly the right move. The random contests were just a pain to sift through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 This message board really seems to be turning into a harsh dictatorship. Perhaps if you had been here longer than a month you'd know why something like this is necessary. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grish Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Chris,Just a thought maybe you need a new area for just contests. "Try not to have a good time ... This is supposed to be educational."- Charles Schulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Okay, gang. I'm taking off the wisea$$ hat and am going to speak frankly here. As someone who is going on five years participation in this community's many incarnations, I can state with a fair degree of confidence that Chris is not trying to be a dictator, is not trying to impose an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and is simply not instituting this new system because he gets off on making rules or wants people to kiss his ring. He's doing it because the challenges and contests are getting out of hand - there needs to be some organization so as to ensure both quality and quantity of participation. As the community gains in popularity, there will continue to be a need to keep things from spinning out into a chaotic mass of cybergoo. This is simply a means of keeping things a little more organized and hopefully ensuring that all of the contests and challenges that take place on this board are true showcases for all of the existing and emerging talent that is clearly abundant here. I'm not asking for people to jump for joy at the new scheme but for crying out loud, please give it a chance to work. Thanks for your time and consideration of this simple request.

Yeah, like usual, he's right.The contests just started gettin' rediculous after awhile....I mean, Gamingboy had one that lasted 16 hours before gettin' pulled....There was one recently with 3 votes...I remember someone started a contest with their first post.

Alphabet Man Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 so to clarify things up.-No starting new contests, rightbut can we finish the current one running? my Fusion thing wasn't that popular and its just got a bit of voting to go on it twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The plan right now is to let all the current contests run their course until none are running, and start clean. I'll expand on this plan later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicfurth Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I suggest we have one contest for each of the concepts "genre". Example...Normal concept challengeCrossover (IronCrossover)Photo Fantasy (e.g., the former Fantasy Wars, headed by moi)InternationalHoliday (Discrimibattle)Hrivnak's Media ChallengeRetro (saintsfan challenge)That's really all we need, save Logolympiad and Webdave challenge, which are both few and far between. Those're really the only ones anybody ever entered. We don't need a constant flood of contests with a maximum of three entries each. Waste of space.

DarthMan Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 maybe we should have a set limit on contests run at one time "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Guys, I've got a plan for all of this already drawn out. I'm about to go out to dinner and go shop for groceries so as soon as I get back, I'll post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I think that for the time being, new contests should not have a limited amount of participants. Since the number of contests will be limited, they should be open to as many people as possible. Deadlines can still stick, but entries should be encouraged...creativity is the lifeblood of this community.I do agree there should be a limit to the number of contests at the same time. This forum was set up for sports logos, but there's hardly any news...mostly concepts and contests. Any news gets pushed down to page 2 (sounds like a weird version of ESPN).[rant mode]Anyone who thinks this is becoming a dictatorship has either not been here long enough to see what's been going on, or has their head up their ass. Chris does not have to have this message board. He offered it to everyone to enjoy. It can be run however he sees fit. He chooses to spread the management responsibilities to senior members of this board who, over the course of time, have proven to be the most helpful, creative, supportive, and influential in making this place the community it is. Any significant decision is not done on a whim; a lot of dicussion and input comes from the other "mods" and other members of the board.If anyone doesn't like the way this place is run, stop visiting the site. Go try to start your own board. If you do stay, you owe it to Chris and the others to respect the way things are run.[/end rant] Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
