IronChefShark Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 CC and myself have been discussing behind the scenes about a seperate forum for just the concept challenges. Sort of would be our "competitve arena" for us concept makers.as someone who hosts one of the more high profile challenges in this community, I am all for it. I think it would be great for the community and will greatly benifit our linchpin forum, the sports logos forum. but lets get everyones thoughts before we follow through on it. In favor of it? Against it? dont give a rats you know what about it? Lets vote on it an discuss it here! US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 wouldn't mind it, also being host of a high profile challenge. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I suppose I'm for it. While I'm somewhat hesitant to support any kind of "segregation" of the main board (as we've now generated new forums for both random talk and for requests), I suppose that it's all a part of growth and change, and change can be good. Perhaps putting the contests in a forum where they don't have to compete with sports news and concepts will make them more visible and stimulate more competition. I think it would be a nice experiment anyways, so I vote yes to a new contests forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 It would make it easier to view & vote...and maybe once again to participate (I've done 2 so far that way)--and I have some ideas for challenges--but I'm hanging on to them for now.

winters in buffalo Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I agree. It'll be better to have current challenges all on one page. I just hope it doesn't lead to an explosion. I'd hate to see 15 challenges happening at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Id like to see a separte forum from concepts and logo news this way all the challenges are togetehr and dont get lost in the shuffle. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Maybe include a pinned thread where a record of winners could be posted. Kinda like a hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Excellent I like the idea of a champs hall of fame. Maybe we can all look it up and have all the past winners too.Also we shoudl include the winning logo in such a hall of fame. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Also we shoudl include the winning logo in such a hall of fame. I think that will only work if we can get those winning logos to one central location, maybe a designated Photobucket account. That way, you're not relying on 200 users to keep that file where they originally linked it from.Ever look back through old threads? Half the images past page 3 are gone already.(I exaggerate, but you get my point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I like the idea of having the challenges in a place where they can't get lost, but i do think that it could lead to a concepts page and detract attention away from the sports logo thread.What about setting it up much like the fantasy leagues are, you have BASEBALL on the main forum, then when you open that, you get the two league, UL and CL.what about if the Sports Logo thread was like that as well, you click there, and have the main forum, and then a forum reserved for challenges. All other concepts and such would stay in the Sports Logos threadie Baseball---------------><sub catagories>Continetal LeagueUnited League and as suchie Sports Logos ------><sub catagories>Sports Logos / News, Concepts and Opinions Challenge Only Thread -The idea of having a pinned thread for contest winners is a good idea IMO, perhaps establishing a small webpage for the winners and a short history of each challenge could grow out of this as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosox Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yea, I like that idea. It would be easier to find the challenge that you participate in, since some of them just get pushed back a couple of pages on the main board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a nice experiment anyways, so I vote yes to a new contests forum. Bah! Down with unanimous.I feel the exact oposite. I think that challenges are seen and participated in because people are on the logo board, and stumble across them. I think challenge threads will get much fewer hits, and will get fewer concepts created.I vote(d) NO and think many should reconsider their votes.

STL FANATIC Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I was in favor of requests because, they cluttered the board and had a lot of people upset with "newbies". I'm strongly against this however. Challenges, concepts, logo news, uni news, it's all one in the same to me. Let it stay as is.

IronChefShark Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 well apparently it is a vast majority in favor of this endeavor. I say we do it. US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 If we do this more contest will open because people won't feel like they are cluttering. This will result in the competitors spreading out. Plus, a lot of people won't check this new board as much whcih will result in less people per contest as well. I don't see why we shouldn't just leave it as is.
