Why not a WOTM?

[Syntax]

Just a suggestion. Wallpaper of the month's rule.

[Josh]

I like this idea. Would give more attention to the members and take it away from the staff some more.

[Admin]

Would this be as a board or do you mean something for our magazine?

[Me]

I think he is talking about a board. I don't know if it would work though. Seeing as a wallpapers take a lot more to make than a siggy and people make sigs for the forum anyways, I don't think SSD would be active enough yet in this type of thing.

Mmhm, I agree with C3. What could happen though, is that we simply add one to the Herald, with SOTM and AvOTM and simply have the person presiding over it look out for an eye-catcher in Show Off.

Besides, I hardly see wallpapers posted on SSD. Do you think just having a board for it will get tons of people to line up to make one? I think we should get some competition in SOTW and more participation in AvOTM and SOTM before starting something new. Quality over Quantity.

[Luke]

Well maybe not a board. But maybe do something new for Sotw.

Just a thought.

Basically every to do with SSD comes down to that. People have asked for Code Battle board, Music board, Debate board, Politics board, and none of them ever came because there simply isn't enough activity.

Doing it with the Herald sounds good but to make it easier on the person have everyone put [wall] infront of posts with wallpapers so that they can just search for [wall].

Bad idea. I don't see enough wallpapers being posted in SSD. You can open a "Work of the Month" or "Graphic of the Month". But a wallpaper of the month seems like a bad idea to me.

There is already a featured image!

In the Herald ? Sorry, never knew that

[Syntax]

Yeah, it was just a suggestion because where I used to go always had one going. But yes, I agree. There is not enough activity.

[Admin]

The featured image runs in show off, however I don't feature signatures or anything of the sort, it is larger works such as wallpapers, but it's often difficult to find. Our community practices also give more of an oppertunity to make larger work.

I would suggest a Contest board, That way all the graphic contest, Coding competition and stuff will go there that way there will be not too much of stickies.

+ Oliver what he is trying to say that people compete with each other I think so they can have battles and stuff as in a big tourney competition.

I agree with this. Although don't make contests that involve just coding or graphics, other members. who do not code/do graphics, should be able to participate in them too.

[Happy!]

yea general stuff too.

Great idea. Where do you go to set up collabs around here?

[Smurfy]

Maybe not of the month then? Run competitions every few months where people post their best wallpapers they made

Then maybe SSD could progress and people would be encouraged to make wallpapers more

We've had contests, the hex games. Huge build up and lots of excitment, and when it comes to it people can't be arsed and only a few enter. Overall it was a tie between about 5 people who had won each different catagory and the judges had to choose the best out of them.

*points to duels board* You can do one with me if you like, you have to do it against another person though so 2 teams of 2.

But I hate it how people say there isn't enough activity for a WOTM, why not? Because where should we do it? We only do activities set up by you we don't go and make our own. I make quite a few wallpapers I just generally don't post them.
