[ANSWERED] style contest?
 

now why would you hav e a style contest forum that we can't access?
I see there are two threads in there...what good is it if it says "no peeking"?

You can only see the contents of your own threads. The forum is there for members to upload styles to us, not let other members see it. :)

But we can see threads >:) :D

It's designed so that you can't be "inspired" from other submissions, among other reasons.

Haven't you read my announcementthread?

i think i clearly stated that the forum is just for submitting styles, not for peeking styles

And you call that Competition? :huh:

We use similiar methods for contests at one of the boards I work at. It works great! I hope vB.org gets lots of entries. :D

@nuno: You never have Played cards, poker for example, did you?
Since when do you need to know what cards the other player has before you play with him???

You'll see the winning cards after the contest.

Also it's for copyright questions, as everyone would be able to download those files...

That's a rather strange analogy...

It was just an example.

there are a lot of competitions where you don't see what the others do...

seems kinda odd...no? Why do you need to win a license if you have to already have one just to participate?

that is not much of a contest.....I say if you choose a winner you should use the style as is or do not choose it as the winner.
what copyright? Just because somebody makes something doesn't make it copyrighted.....you have to actually copyright it.

The way I see it....this is a joke. You want others to submit lots of styles and you are going to pick at them like a chicken wing and use what you want. Why not make your own style? The prizes are lacking incintive.

I would like to see styles that paople make because I lack the imagination to create one from scratch myself but seeing others makes my ideas start working.

Good luck with your "contest". You should make out real well as a result of it.
