What are these 20points going to do?

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By slip (slip) on 27th Jul 08 at 3:11pm
Since we are just starting out, these points would only be a score earned from the design thingies. There may eventually be uses.

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By Alex Bailey (system) on 27th Jul 08 at 3:27pm
Are staff included in this like the design team?

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By blanka (blanka) on 27th Jul 08 at 3:27pm
Sweet. Would it be best if it fit the current color scheme? (website color scheme) Or we can do whatever we want?

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 27th Jul 08 at 4:02pm
Honestly I'd like to see something that can not only fit the template of this site, but others as well.

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By slip (slip) on 27th Jul 08 at 8:33pm
No set colors. Go wild.

@system: I didn't understand your question.

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By blanka (blanka) on 27th Jul 08 at 10:10pm
How many entries can we submit?

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By slip (slip) on 28th Jul 08 at 6:12am
There's no limit to anything really.

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By tricky.cb (crazyblue) on 28th Jul 08 at 5:12pm
Am I aloud to enter? {Tongue Out}

I'd like to enter these things if I'm not running them {Grin}

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By Graham (amusedtodeath) on 28th Jul 08 at 5:35pm
I don't see a reason why staff can't enter - it's down to the skill of the designer, not their position {Smile}

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By tricky.cb (crazyblue) on 28th Jul 08 at 6:20pm

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 4th Aug 08 at 4:24am

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By slip (slip) on 7th Aug 08 at 8:43pm
Brilliant {Smile}

Yes like that.

People I am extending the date to August 15th. Ross will announce some extra prizes for the winner. {Smile}

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By slip (slip) on 7th Aug 08 at 8:43pm
You can post ur sigs in this thread.

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By Ross (admin) on 7th Aug 08 at 10:15pm
OK, as promised here are the prizes the winner will be able to choose from:

- 3 ad-free credits (3 months/30,000 ad-free page views)
- 10,000 banner impressions for your forum/website
- A custom title of your choosing

Depending how successfully this goes we may use a points system (as slip originally mentioned) so that you can build up points from multiple competitions to exchange for other prizes or rewards. But that will depend on how many entries this generates {Smile}

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By blanka (blanka) on 7th Aug 08 at 10:58pm

I was way too busy to do this but now that you have mention those prizes, I'm not busy anymore. {Cheesy}

An advert of your choice, up to 728px wide and 90px high can be shown in place of the Google ads across the vForums network {Smile}

Re: GOTW Round 1: Discussion - Posted By slip (slip) on 22nd Aug 08 at 6:01pm
The GOTW has been canceled due to a lack of entries. 2 entries doesn't really give much to go on. We'll have another trial GOTW in a while.
