[Freestyle]:Competition

[Nightfire]

<_< that's just one day shorter than the SOTW :P. But sure, a few did comment that the due date was a little soon.

It's just I've noticed that the SOTW doesn't get really any submittions the last 3 days or so. So the one's who have submitted their work just wait for the voting to start.

You can do that by complaining. The process of it doesn't take as long as you think. AOTW was up and running a day after the idea was introduced. It wasn't done by discussing within the staff, it was done by a public poll. Something anyone could do.

Most forums that have Beginner, Intermediate, Pro SOTWs have many active members of all skill levels. Here it would be pretty unbalanced. The forum is already very sigcentric, I don't think the worry of limited competition is for sigs, but for those who do everything other than just sigs.

Yes that's whay I didn't even consider rating to be any good for this site. Which I don't find a bad thing at all.

Well the only reason I'm not really planning on presenting this to the discussion thread would be for what I'm going to try and do doesn't really need that admin or mods. It would be helpful but not required.

Basically battlegrounds is an area that members can set up whatever type of battle they wish. Either like the SOTW, bigger pieces of art, movie editing, drawings, and anything a user can think of that they can compete with other members on this forum.

Right now battlegrounds limitation I believe is that most user on here are just getting started,they don't know where to start, or what they can do with PS or other programs they might have. So these battles can be examples and introductions into these.

But I think it needs a push, the SOTW, AOTW, Official Competitions, and Community Projects have a bit of this by mods leading most of the projects. The Community Projects so far I don't know, it seems a member creates a topic an all make it under that goal? Seems like the SOTW with just a few restictions. So far anyway I'm betting it will change a bit more.

Also another factor that hinders battlegrounds right now is people wanting to join but only old threads spark their interest. No one seems to be hosting any new battles. These threads should either be closed or posted on the first post by the thread creator that the competiton is over for that battle.
