At the beggining of V3, there was a contest to create a signature appealing to the new version of SSD. This was probabely the most active thread in terms of response and popularity.
Why? Because it was easy to complete. Create your image. Post it on the board for all to see. And a poll came out to vote for the best winner. Winner got a custom title.
Here is what i suggest, at the beggining of Version 6 release a similar contest. Follow all the rules. Including the section in the bold. And then get to the voting part. The poll is flawed becuase someone can continousely register new accounts and vote. So people post there votes and give reasons. It's hands-on it's fun and it will be popular w/ the activity version 6 will bring. Possibely put it in the Cohesion Battles Board. Make it official and if you don't have someone to run it i'll do it.
One of the main things that gave SSD the soul in V3 was this contest. It's time that SSD gets it back. I understand that you say that we've tried contests. But those all were tournaments or matches which you could not see your opponents entry with only one judge and not letting the community on a community based forum to post the results.
I know it might be early thinking about this now but if you decide to do it please save it for Version 6's release. And please don't tell me to start it on my own, for if it's not official people won't be interested. If there are sign ups it will take too much waiting.
This way you can check up on it and this won't cause blame towards the staff. Simply put a deadline for the entries to be turned in, and a deadline for the voting. Also you may say this is like sotw, well i personally believe that SSD has moved beyond signatures, possibely create 800x600 art pieve, and the fact that this is not an every day thing might help that out.
Also beyond that I would just like to say that the prize could use some thought, rather than a custom title's which are given out for winning sotw.
I hope you take my suggestion, and if you don't it's all smooooooooooth sailing![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
