I completely forgot to submit my entry. I'll let it live here to remember it by:
-
Good entries! Now, go vote!
-
Voting is now up!
-
So far so good, guys! Keep up the good entries!
-
Don't PM Rick with moderation inquiries. Instead, Report the thread and the first available mod will help out
-
Just post them with your entry and make note that you did not create them.
-
I'm in favor of Mod Host Lounge over mailing lists. But that is just my personal opinion...
-
I don't really see the point of that beyond following existing rules.
Private discussion of general rulings, better overall organization, and to ask other hosts to take over for you on leave of absence. Some of this can be done over PM, but I think it'd be a bit more professional to do it over a board.
Edit: @Possum: Yes, that is a perfect example.
-
Can competition hosts have our own subforum? I think it'd be good for us, plus I think we should work on making a nice set of universal competition rules and formats.
Mike, I realy don't know much about a skinning comp, do you have any info about it? Would this also include things like media players?
You don't actually skin anything, but you create mockups in Paint.NET. Check some of the older competitions Simon linked to in the Archives for an example of what I mean
-
Hey contest hosters! We've got mod powers over each other's threads. I don't want this feature removed, but hosters shouldn't abuse this, either!
-
...and vice versa. Thanks for reminding me.
-
Thanks a ton for this, Simon!

Weekly Skinning Competition
CONGRATULATIONS TO PABLO FOR HIS VICTORY!
Hosted by Mike Ryan
Pablo wins the very first WSC!
To the victor goes the spoils.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pablo won the very first Weekly Skinning Competition, and as such he gets to choose the theme for the next WSC! I'm not going to spoil his decision just yet, but check back tomorrow when the next WSC thread is up. Until then, skinners, jump in and give Pablo and a pat on the back.

THIS WEEKS THEME: YOUR TASK BAR | DEADLINE: 04/16/10
Hosted by Mike Ryan
Your Taskbar
As chosen by mike ryan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This week's theme, as chosen by Mike Ryan (What!?) is your task bar. The task bar you are often dealing with is the thing at the bottom of your screen where you manage settings, launch programs, manage active windows, run tasks, and connect to networks. However, the abundance of options regarding your task bar ands the variations found across operating system releases shows that users have their preferences, and most importantly: their imagination. This week's theme challenges you to create your own task bar that suits your most common actions.

I would like to run a modified version of the Monthly Skinning Competition. Instead of doing something as big as an entire operating system, chat client, or email client, I'd like to make it weekly and focus on certain elements of those programs. For instance, Weekly Skinning Competition: Task Bar, or Inbox.
Additionally, I'd like to revive Large Art of the Week.
And Lastly, does this deserve its own subforum? Why not place it under The Pictorium or the Grand Theory of Everything?
-
@Lance McKnight: This is a result of how the mod staff have setup permissions. This way, all subforums that deserve to be hidden are hidden while they have special permissions for subforums that should be open.
-
Polls aren't allowed in General Discussion.
Then I think a relocation of certain forum games is necessary. These games rely on a poll system, and from experience it is difficult to manage it over PMs.
-
I can attest to Jackpelter, this morning neither of them were working. Hence why I went through the work of pushing out another.
-
Is there a mod we can install that will allow us to re-add the "Mark All Forums Read" link on the main forum page?
Or, you can just click on each Subforum icon to mark the entire subforum read.

I lost all of my plugins in the forum move. (What? You expect me to use subpar plugins?)
However! It's really easy to build. Here is a brand new one, just for you:
