    I like the old post idea, because the hints could be like "garaa vs sasuke" and a mod would find an obscure post about it and edit in the next clue. it would be spiffy.

    I noticed this thread has been sitting here for a while now. Has there been any diliberation within the mod community as to if we are going to have an upcomming contest. Or has the great Idea we are all looking for not manifested itself yet?

    I am just wondering becuase I have been waiting to Compete and enjoy a forum contest.

    no and no.

    remember deadfire != rest of the mod squad. I stayed clear of this thread for awhile because i've been pretty busy and couldn't do a whole lot towards a big contest. and after i stopped helping out in the Survivor contest, it just sorta died...

    but it would be nice to have a contest here. I was really thinking that jadugar's idea from the old survivor contest, people competing to make a frontpage post, would be pretty cool. It could be an anime review or a bio on a gotwoot user or anything. i like this idea because it would require just about zero work on my part

    The scavenger hunt or anime crossword would be fun too; but that's also quite a bit of work, so unless we get some eager volunteers to facilitate...

    and, of course, a sig/photoshop/paint contest is always good too.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I'd be willing to help out with an art contest, or even any of the other ones. It just so happens I have quite a bit of free time for the next month.

    Sig contests are always fun, and don't take too much organization. Granted, they only encompass a small portion of the forum, but they're the easiest to set up. Maybe I'll get one going sometime soon, since there isn't much else on the horizon.

    In terms of a broader contest though, I was thinking that with the return of Naruto to manga storyline and the subsequent flocking of new people to the forum, it would be neat to have a newbies-only contest. So for instance, you'd only be able to participate in the contest if you had less than 50 posts or had been a member for less than 3 months or something like that. I've already sketched out some wicked Naruto-themed knitting patterns that I could make as contest prizes. I think it would be a neat way to involve more new people in the community, without them feeling intimidated by competing against older members.
