^ I don't know... you could have extra PM storage space?

Maybe at a later date, we could actually combine this with the idea of having forums where the Official people can hang out. That would give value to the Contest Member Title idea, and fuel mroe Official Members to submit graphics like Mona suggested in her other thread.

But that's kind of off topic. Official Winner would have it's merits if that was implemented.

^I was so thinking the extra PM storage, I always enjoyed having more than normal members.

Official Winner status is quite neat.

Oooh okay, yeah more PM space would be good.
And a secret forum for Official people? that sounds good too.
I know a lot of XMB forums do that. happy.gif
It would definitely spark some activity, in posting and contributing.

Something else that was suggested was to have subforums within 'Contests': one to discuss ideas and one for voting threads. The main forum would be where the contest threads belong. I think perhaps it may bit too much and a single forum for contests and voting threads would suffice but what do you all think?

^ I think that a subforum should exist for "Ideas" and the rest of the topic be in the main part of the forum. We could designate a specific pinned topic on all of the contests and the deadlines, and the voting threads and the deadlines.

My previous idea involves too much XD.gif

Since, I'm assuming, the "best designer of ____" would be decided upon by the community and is not just subjective but constantly changing, I don't know if that would merit a new set of member status titles because it's not something permanent, right?

Wow, talk about run-on sentence.

But having such contests would certainly be interesting!

^ ... spam?

Anyway, I think there should be subforums within this "Contests" forum. It could be divided into different sections, so it won't be too confusing.

CONTESTS
-> Blogging, Design & Art (e.g. XOTM, LIMS, photography contest etc.)
-> Entertainment & Humour (e.g. cBNTM, cB Idol, Best Caption Contest etc.)
-> Miscellaneous

That's what I can think of now. Of course, the decision is entirely up to the mods. I'm not saying that my idea is good, because I can see problems of creating subforums within the Contests forum. There maybe not enough contests in each section to generate activity, and some members may not like having to go to another forum for voting in these contests.

Just my thought.

Yea, I like the idea of organization that was stated above.

Although I wouldn't choose those exact titles for them, something more catchy or more straight forward.

It has also been suggested that there should be one forum with pinned topics announcing and describing the contests and providing links to the respective subforums where each is located. Entry deadlines would be included as well. Also, a voting thread with links to all of the currently voting topics, and voting deadlines would be included too.

All of the unpinned, or regular topic threads could be contest ideas.

Like this:
[contest forum]
--(Contest Forum Rules) <--Pinned
--(Current Contests) <--Pinned
--(Current Voting) <--Pinned

I like this method of organization. I think this simple approach will work well.

I want this to be completed soon so if anyone disagrees, speak now or forever hold your peace. _smile.gif

I love it!

It's so much more convenient than searching through forums looking for contests. >_<

It would also....erm.."advertise" or display the contests better.

I definitely like the idea of a Contest forum with the above subforums, but for some reason, I always think of the Photography Contest as part of Entertainment, but I guess that's just me. shrug.gif

Yeah, it would be much easier without; there's way too much uneccessary clicking with the subforums.

Ha, I'm seriously wondering if this is going to happen? Do we need to figure it out on the weekend when people have time or something?

I think it would be fine either way, which ever is easier to manage for the staff.

Both would be fine in terms of staff being able to manage it. But having subforums where it isn't really needed is inconvenient. Perhaps we'll have it before the end of this weekend so that all the proper rules can be set up first.

Heh, I thought that I had already posted my thoughts.

Like Arjuna said, we don't really need very many subforums, so I think we should go with Rachael's.
