Full Version: hall of fame awards
Is the website/cb/xanga/myspace/etc of the month/year based on content or design? From the guidelines, I assumed it was based on design. If it is based on design, I'm suggesting that a link to a screenshot of the winning design be put up by their name because it's really annoying trying to go through the different website and coming across one dead link after another.
Essentially, the the winner is based off popular vote by the members that participate in the voting.
Most will vote based 90% on the overall design of the layout. There are not set areas to which a site has to be defined in order to compete and/or win the title of ___ of the month.
Having a screenshot of the winning layout would be a very good idea, because a lot of times, people change their layouts very regularly.

exactly. i'm always curious as to what the layout looks like when they've won and the link is always dead or the layout's always changed. i think it's a GENIUS idea. GENIUS, i tell you.
Thats a good idea Melissa, I agree that I do hate it when I go back to see what the winning design looked like and they have either changed or it or they quit myspace/xanga/etc.
I'll get on it, and make screen shots and leave links beside the winners name of links to a screen shot
(I'll do it later tonight, once I get on my laptop)

This is what I have said backstage, regarding your topic:
Now we wait.
I hope I understood your proposal correctly.

Presented by Melissa, (hearquasm) in feedback, it'd be a great idea to post a screenshot of that user's site, even if they don't ever change it, because technical difficulties happen, and sometimes, people would like to see the winning layout, months after it happend.
If everyone is behind this, I suggest that starting this month, with all winning contests, a full image of the layout (it requires some patience with paint or photoshop) be also included in the post that announces the winner. That way, the person can see what they did (design wise) to win.
Also, with this being said, if we are going to go through with it, we will need to change the rules to grant permission to ourselves, based off the person's choice to compete, to allow ourselves to make visual duplications of the members winning layout.

Yeah, I think the winners should have some choice as to whether or not their designs are posted. Also, it might be hard to get ALL of them.
I really wouldn't expect to get all of them to be honest. Easpecially since they got back to 06 and a lot of those members aren't even here anymore, and probably don't remember or have the design.
I will try to use archive.org to see if anything was saved, the night before they were actually announced as the winner. If nothing shows up, there's really nothing we can do.
I have included screenshots for the current months contests, of last months winners. (I hope I didn't miss anything)
Is there is anything else you would like to suggest?
genius idea

Yep, Thomas has definitely taken (took? lol it's early xD) your suggestion and ran with it (in a good way). =)
This is an excellent idea.
