2004-02-20 [Sirfy]: no, whoever won the poll normally...still without asking for votes

2004-02-20 [windowframe]: hmmmm... can't say I see the point to be honest :-P 

2004-02-20 [Sirfy]: nevermind then u.u'

2004-02-20 [spiritee]: lol yaaah but then by using judges, it could be more of a personal favorite than generally blah ya know?

2004-02-20 [Sirfy]: it depends on the judges...some might just pic their favorite. Got to pick people who really know art and could pick the good quality art. Or if your contest runs a winner on who best portrayed that theme...have a judge pick one for each art and theme. Let the polls decide for the people's favorite pic. (without asking)

2004-02-21 [windowframe]: but at the end of the day, it's still only going to be their opinion, and beingas everyone's is different... yah... stuff stuff stuff,

2004-02-21 [Sirfy]: that's what all voted on ET are, art or not..people's opinions.

2004-02-21 [windowframe]: so, if the judges are just people on elftown... and everyone else is just people on elftown... and their all voting on which, in their opinion, is the best... why do we need both gen?

2004-02-21 [Sirfy]: the judges vote on the best art. They know what art is and know which should win for a fact. Unless its judging on the theme, then its matter of oppinion, but still its better than a popularity contest for every contest

2004-02-21 [windowframe]: but that reply's on teh judges opinion of what 'good art is' :-P art is opinion by nature, some art critics hate picasso, point our that if you give a five year old some paints he'll manage to produce somethign better... other art critics think it's genius... it always comes down to opinion.

2004-02-21 [Sirfy]: its not really that complicated to understand...

2004-02-21 [windowframe]: to understand what exactly?

2004-02-21 [Sirfy]: nevermind -.-'

2004-02-21 [windowframe]: hey, i resisted the temptation to put 'yeah, it is, so why don't you?' so play nice :-P you have your point of view, I have mine. It's not that I don't understand what your saying - I just don't agree w/ it.

2004-02-21 [Dil*]: well, if your gonna pick judges, then your obviously gonna pick one who knows what's going on...i mean, you can pick 2 very different judges...and they can kinda balance eachother out.., what i'm planning to do with my contest is pick a judge who loves perfection (perfect atonomy, no flaws at all!) and one judge who loves creativity and doesnt care that much about perfection and can look at the overall "feeling" of the picture...........i'm rambling again..ill shutup now

2004-02-21 [windowframe]: :p but if they're opposites of each other - how will they agree on a winner? (jus playin DA here)

2004-02-22 [Dil*]: dunno, they would have to agree sometime..or i might crack and smash their heads together, that would be funny too :D

2004-02-22 [windowframe]: *grins* sounds like a decent strategy :P

2004-02-22 [Sirfy]: -grumbles- don't you hate it when people don't read before editing a page? -.-'

2004-02-22 [Dil*]: yes..it puts you in a awkward situation..

2004-02-23 [Amerthyst]: o.O Guys gals. Sirfy points fine, But if your going to whine about the unfairty of different judges, you might as well go complain on American idol :P there just judges, they pick what they like, say what they want,but its up to the people in the end Duh.

2004-02-23 [spiritee]: wahahah talking bout american idol, ya know william hung was offered a $25,000 from fuse music channel and a record deal from koch entertainment....hahah he has his own tshirt

2004-02-23 [Amerthyst]: hahaha

2004-02-23 [windowframe]: there just judges, they pick what they like, say what they want,but its up to the people in the end Duh. ¬_¬ that was the point. 

2004-02-24 [mywolfalways]: [Spirit of Nefertiti]'s contest doesn't work. Does it not have contest in the title or something? I tried to add @wiki on it, but it didn't work.

2004-02-25 [cerulean33]: hey, what kinds of prizes are normal? i want to run a contest, but i dot know the ins and outs of it

2004-02-25 [mywolfalways]: I don't know...I haven't put a prize up yet for my contest. The people who are in my contest are in it for the fun and challenge. I don't think they want a prize. ^_^

2004-02-25 [Sirfy]: usualy a badge saying they won that contest. -shrug- all mine have been publication contests, hehe

2004-02-26 [May-lea]: Yet another contest added in the middle of the list... Gah! (Winka's characters contest ) And she actually password protected her page, so she probably won't get that much entries...

2004-02-26 [Saffron]: hm yeah the starting date should be there, it's required for all sections except deadline set

2004-02-26 [May-lea]: well the deadline is et to 20 entries I think, maybe that's why...

2004-02-26 [Saffron]: yeah but this way that section'll get way to big I adjusted the guidelines already

2004-02-26 [May-lea]: *off to check*

2004-02-26 [May-lea]: Ok, I see. Sorry, then...

2004-02-26 [spiritee]: heey btw colorbook contest part two voting ends tomorrow.. >< WAAAH two of them r so CLOSE i hope it tips b4 tomorrow..

2004-02-28 [Sirfy]: What keeps changing? No contests

2004-02-28 [t6]: yeah, most of the time I can never figure out what changes on this page....

2004-02-28 [Sirfy]: drives me insane! Plus, I never realized I sent that message..never meant to, lol

2004-02-28 [May-lea]: well, click the view diff button on the side. You'll see. People keep adding contests in the middle of the page. This time, it's the cloud contest.

2004-02-28 [spiritee]: oo wow since when did they have that option? niiice~ and the knight contest

2004-02-28 [May-lea]: Indeed ^_^. I use this button each time now...

2004-02-28 [Saffron]: hmm maybe I should update my style sheet

2004-02-28 [Saffron]: hmm ¬¬ I guess it's better than having all kinds of blanco buttons, but this doesn't even fit on my screen anymore *cries* stupid border thingy

2004-02-28 [May-lea]: What do you mean??

2004-02-29 [spiritee]: lol i never mess withthe style sheet cuse i dont understand it

2004-02-29 [Sirfy]: I don't understand it either...wish I did

2004-03-01 [spiritee]: omgomG WHAHA whoever moved the sci-fi contest winner to the winners page ROX. finally sum1 did it themselves ^_^

2004-03-01 [CelticDragon]: What happens with the contests that are long past their deadline, but not moved yet?

2004-03-01 [SimpleEuph]: I finally have 5 submission in my contest Goddess Art Contest, when can I get moved up?

2004-03-01 [mywolfalways]: [SimpleEuph], you move it up yourself. *nods* I'm glad to hear that you got the 5 submissions.

2004-03-01 [Sirfy]: another anime contest? -.-'

2004-03-01 [Masayume_soto]: yup

2004-03-02 [SimpleEuph]: Okay I wasn't sure. Thank you

2004-03-02 [mywolfalways]: np

2004-03-02 [Sirfy]: Hmm...should this wiki have a section for club-type contests? It would also be promoting the club-thing as well. -shrug- just a thought :D

2004-03-02 [mywolfalways]: That is a good idea. Hmm.

2004-03-02 [Sirfy]: also, I see contests for their club-thing (like demon's united) and others or for members only. So...if its added, beside the contest we can add if its for everyone or members only. -again, shrug- XD

2004-03-03 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: All art lovers, I'm here to gather your attention and interest into a new event. The Town Herald has started a new section named The Art Corner. So we invite all art lovers to come and visit this wiki and if interested help to keep it as full and interesting as possible ;) Thanx in advance.

2004-03-03 [mywolfalways]: The Fable Contest is in progress of a vote by poll. If people are interested, please go there and vote for your favorite entry.

2004-03-04 [spiritee]: oh well 11 contests past deadline..haha

2004-03-04 [Orpheu]: The people runing the art contests should help keep thos page updated. There are lots of contests up there in wich the voting has ended and they are still in the voting area.

2004-03-04 [CelticDragon]: The Emotions contest has been over for a long time. The winners were supposed to be announced as soon as the tie was broken and it's been broken for a while now.

2004-03-04 [Our Lady of Sorrow]: hello... i am so bored i am stuck in class. my teacher is an ass...

2004-03-04 [Paul Doyle]: You're a poet and you don't know know it? O_o

2004-03-05 [dshwshr55]: You're stuck in in school... ha, that's so uncool.

2004-03-05 [dshwshr55]: Ph33r the poetry of an artist. :p

2004-03-05 [windowframe]: the art of eyes contest should be moved from the bottom - it has well over 2 entries now

2004-03-05 [dshwshr55]: I can name more than one thing that needs to be updated here ~_^

2004-03-06 [windowframe]: good for you :-)

2004-03-06 [dshwshr55]: Anyone can change the list up there, not just the creator of the contest, right?

2004-03-06 [t6]: yep, just edit the page....

2004-03-06 [Our Lady of Sorrow]: whoops... i didnt mean to do that... hahaha... all those who go to www.truechristian.com (a trueley insulting site to anyone who is not christan... catholics include) well anyone who thinks that this site is horrible please come to Against TrueChristian.com

2004-03-06 [windowframe]: i'm w/ you on that one - the guy who wrote that should be shot *growls*

2004-03-06 [Our Lady of Sorrow]: yes...

2004-03-06 [SimpleEuph]: so has anybody seen the outcome to Martha's trial

2004-03-06 [Hutch]: lol she's guilty of all charges

2004-03-06 [SimpleEuph]: heres the punch line : "And thats a good thing!" *ROTFLOL*

2004-03-07 [kay-chan]: Okay, somebody hand me a shotgun... A really big one... Or, machine gun. Mmm... weapons of mass destruction imposed upon a solitary person. That'll be hell for his complexion.

2004-03-07 [Our Lady of Sorrow]: hmmmm

2004-03-08 [Saffron]: Hey you guys! Contest Winner Badge Contest closed! Vote now! (<poll:15961> , cause you'll have a hard time finding it up there (I don't come here for a few days and look how messed up everything is ¬¬'))

2004-03-08 [spiritee]: -^^- thats y we need u here~

2004-03-10 [Davorah]: Are the past contests that have already voted and all that going to be removed so you can see new and still open contests easier?

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: er... yup, those are all the old ones, all winners announced

2004-03-11 [May-lea]: Shading My Mind Contest is a vote in progress...

2004-03-11 [May-lea]: And so Is the anything goes contest

2004-03-11 [May-lea]: and the fashion art contest too

2004-03-11 [May-lea]: (The shading my mind is still in deadline set as well)

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: yeah yeah I get it I've been moving them for the last 2 hours ¬¬ and I'm NOT gonna see if anyone has a new deadline, they'll have to move it themselves!

2004-03-11 [May-lea]: It's sad so few of them actually update this page... Thank you for updating it

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: maybe I'll have to punish all those people by putting them all on hold!

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: needs to edit... waiting...

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: aww italic, how cute

2004-03-11 [Arisonu]: Hey, I updated my contest. Don't unleash your venom on me.

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: thanks for updating! (and I wasn't talking about you btw) ^^

2004-03-11 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: Come one, Come All! The time for Elemental Girls has started. JOIN Elemental Girls:Fire element</i>.Missing: </i>

2004-03-11 [Saffron]: [Sunny Silverunicorn], you're really starting to annoy me, if you continue spamming every contest I'll have no choice but to delete your comments here whenever I see them ¬¬

2004-03-11 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: Don't worry I delete them myself first. Thanx.

2004-03-11 [Kaimee]: "No entering your own contest" Am i allowed to enter the anime guild's contests? i generally type up the rules etc and make the poll but the contests are run by the guild in general, and also, do i add ones that have already run and finished to the winner announced category?

2004-03-12 [Davorah]: Can I put the badge up for my contest above my contest's name or is that only thumbs-up in the contest corner?

2004-03-12 [Saffron]: I don't make the rules for the anime guild, and no please, no badges, we want to keep this a fast-loading page!

2004-03-13 [spiritee]: OMG *faints* so many new winners...no time to upload contest winner page >< if ne1 wanna do it for me, itd be great

2004-03-13 [MathiasIV]: NEW CONTEST! HALO Fanart Contest ^_^

2004-03-13 [Amerthyst]: I thought there was a Halo contest at one time o.O must be just so many, Metamorphosis is posted there twice, and there was already a Kitty contest o.O

2004-03-13 [Amerthyst]: Anyway..shameless advertisment. Check out my two polls, specially the mmorpg one, im curious!

2004-03-13 [Saffron]: think I'll move the winners to past contests very soon... sorry spirit, those people didin't put their contest there themselves, so I guess they won't add them to contest winners either... poor us

2004-03-13 [Saffron]: some people forgot their started signs >< but I won't allow them to get a free ticket to existence!

2004-03-13 [Amerthyst]: .><

2004-03-14 [Davorah]: was there an answer to my question above?

2004-03-14 [May-lea]: Yes, and it was no.

2004-03-14 [Davorah]: okies! Thanks! *goes off to find more contest advertisement pages*

2004-03-14 [Saffron]: too many polls open...

2004-03-14 [Amerthyst]: sorry about the poll saffron, just had an idea for an mmorpg that would ahve to do with elftown and elfwood, thought it would be a good way for them to earn money for there sites and stuff o.O but,,might be to hard to do -.-

2004-03-15 [t6]: So...can I just put the Frog contest winner on the contest winners page now...cos those other 3 havent done it yet.....

2004-03-15 [Arisonu]: What happened to the gothic fashion contest?

2004-03-15 [May-lea]: It's been put on hold apparently, but because the page was messed up. Somebody has pressed the wrong button. I fixed the page now, so I guess it can come back on this page. If you want to move it back, I don't think [Saffron] will mind

2004-03-20 [A lost desire]: go do my trigun/ hellsing/ gundam contest...the dark lord tells you to!

2004-03-21 [Khayman]: Question: I just made a Mercedes Lackey contest. once I recieve entries for this, do I put it with the fanart contests? The contest is based off of a book series, not a game or cartoon or anything (does this qualify as fanart anyway?)

2004-03-21 [Saffron]: well, the harry potter contest went in the fanart section too, and that's a book

2004-03-22 [Sheepy]: don't forget to close your tags, folkses 3:)

2004-03-22 [mywolfalways]: ...according to Elfwood rules, you put things based off of books/novels in the regular art section. Fanart seems to be classified as art based off of other artwork. 

2004-03-23 [Khayman]: alright, I'll stick the contest w/ the regular ones then. (I think HP was put w/ fanart b/c it's also a movie=visual, but I guess I could be wrong...)

2004-03-23 [mywolfalways]: There's a fine line. If it is Harry Potter based off the book, then it's in art; if it's Harry Potter based on the movie, then it goes in fanart. You can actually see visual examples in Elfwood of this situation.

2004-03-23 [CelticDragon]: Last I heard, there was so much mix up with HP, that now anything HP goes in fanart.

2004-03-23 [mywolfalways]: I hadn't heard about that. 0_o

2004-03-23 [Dil*]: relly, i thought any character drawing is fanart XD

2004-03-23 [mywolfalways]: Well,...with LOTR art in Elfwood, if people say it was based off the novel, it gets put in art; if it's based on the movies, it's put in fanart. It makes sense because one is your own thoughts, while in the other there is a visual aid, you know? 0_o... weird.

2004-03-23 [t6]: yep, it works the way mywolfalways is describing as far as i can tell with a couple of exceptions...there are some that you arent allowed to do at all and all harry potter has to go in fanart.....

2004-03-23 [dshwshr55]: Wouldn't that put the Orlando Bloom contest in fanart (speaking of LOTR)

2004-03-23 [t6]: yes

2004-03-23 [dshwshr55]: Come to think of it, I see 3 other ones that should be there, too. Oh well, organization is for sissies. Hehe ^_^

2004-03-23 [mywolfalways]: Well, *shrugs* For those who know, they should follow it. For those who don't know or find it too confusing, *shrugs* Whatever. ^_^

2004-03-24 [thestranger]: disorganization is a sign of genius

2004-03-24 [CelticDragon]: The LOTR Elves Contest has started voting, but [Dead to you] hadn't moved it, so I went ahead and did that.

2004-03-24 [May-lea]: Damn, another of those bugs. It's not [Dead to you] but [Dead] that did these contests...

2004-03-24 [May-lea]: It was the same with [Guyver] that should have been [Guy]. I fixed the lot

2004-03-27 [Saffron]: With the end of the contest winner badge contest, the Official Prize Badges page is now officially opened!

2004-03-31 [Saffron]: The prize badges poll: <poll:17613>!! (for "other", pm me plz)

2004-04-01 [Saffron]: There comes a time when you have to ask yourself: are any more people going to vote in my poll?

2004-04-01 [jsun]: I voted Saffron, but I think that there should be more badges added there so as to offer a larger variety. Probably needs a little more publicity too

2004-04-01 [Saffron]: ? Oh ^^' I was referring to all the open polls up in Voting in Progress, maybe it would be a good idea for some of them to close by now. But of course I'd appreciate it too if more people voted in my poll... And I'm working on the publicity, and a larger variety, well, it's all there is now, but it could always expend.

2004-04-08 [Saffron]: There! Updated!

2004-04-08 [Lyndarsia]: I appreciate putting my contests where they belong, Saffron. ^^; Been way too busy as of late.

2004-04-20 [Dil*]: ahhhhhhhh wtf happened to the tags?!

2004-04-20 [allenp]: Im not sure what I did...just move my contest from New to Deadline

2004-04-20 [allenp]: :(

2004-04-20 [Dil*]: i dont think its your fault, oh my

2004-04-20 [Adnama]: I fixed it for ya. ;3 No worries. You just left out a little part in the coding.

2004-04-20 [Dil*]: yay its fixed XD

2004-04-20 [allenp]: i suck....glad its fixed :) and thanks

2004-04-20 [allenp]: umm...I just noticed that I failed to list it chronologically...I would go back and fix...but....ummm...well

2004-04-20 [Adnama]: You're welcome. :3 I could put it in the right order for you if you'd like. :o

2004-04-21 [..//..Tots..\\..]: is there any guys out there 4 me??? please reply

2004-04-21 [allenp]: yes [Adnama]...please

2004-04-21 [Adnama]: There ya go. ;3

2004-05-02 [WarChiefFanguan]: hello everyone! Good job making one of the top 10 wikis of the month of april!

2004-05-02 [mywolfalways]: Please be sure to check your tags when you add something! ^_^ Thank you.

2004-05-02 [Saffron]: top 10 wiki's of the month?? ooh

2004-05-02 [May-lea]: the voting for the Pull It Outta Your Head Contest has been finished for a while. I told [Rennie] that she should update this page, but looks like she didn't do it...

2004-05-02 [Saffron]: yup every 2 months or so I'm still forced to update everything

2004-05-02 [May-lea]: I nominated it for the monthly wiki award and it got picked. I think you deserved that ^_^. And sorry for all the work it gives you!

2004-05-06 [Mom]: Hey...there are Contest that ended in feb and march...are they going to vote on them or just keep them in the do nothing heading???

2004-05-08 [Saffron]: *cough* people are lacking original contest ideas lately

2004-05-08 [Dil*]: i know. I dunno if i can bring myself to join another anime contest XD

2004-05-08 [May-lea]: I have some, but no time to run a contest....

2004-05-09 [Ayeaka]: I wonder how long it will take my contest to get entries?

2004-05-09 [Saffron]: Attention everyone!

Animated GIF Contest

2004-05-09 [Ayeaka]: Ooh! Animated pictures! I think I will enter! I will, I will!

2004-05-10 [Sirfy]: Hey! Long time eh!? Well, I NEED to note, and hoping that maybe I might can add it to my contest title, that you DO NOT need to know the game series in order to enter. I have provided some sites with the characters inside. ^^ Hmm? ^^

2004-05-11 [mywolfalways]: Please support your fellow contest page and vote. ^_^ Writing Contests. Thank you, guys.

2004-05-11 [Saffron]: Please add the starting date people!

2004-05-12 [Sirfy]: Saffron, think I could add that below the contest? It needs more members and I am thinking that's what's keeping it

2004-05-13 [Saffron]: Feel free, but if I were you, I'd just advertise some more!

2004-05-17 [Kieve]: *laughs* And for my first trick, an internet easter-egg hunt! I've had 0 luck with this myself, and the folks at Yerf have been utterly useless. So, here I am, running this: Tigre-Search. Let the web surfing begin... @.@

2004-05-23 [Mitsune]: Wotcher people... the new Harry Potter Art Contest is up!

2004-05-24 [TheNavigator]: Everyone! TheMonkey army badge contest is up!

2004-05-24 [Ayeaka]: Well..........I finally got some entries......and I need more!

2004-05-26 [Farewell]: Every body serious about thier art need to check out the Legacy Landscapes Contest.

2004-05-28 [windowframe]: wow, nice bit of elitism there, Stevec :P

2004-05-28 [Farewell]: well thankies. lol

2004-05-28 [Linderel]: Hey, I have a suggestion. How about creating a page on which people who have ideas for contests - but no time or willingness to put up one by themselves - could post their suggestions? This would be a way to help people who wish to put up a contest but don't have any ideas. The page could have separate sections for verbal and visual art, as in writing and drawing/painting/whatever. This way, the page would be useful for both the Writing Contests and Art Contests pages. If this idea gets your support, I could create it right away. Interested, anyone?

2004-05-28 [mywolfalways]: That's a good idea.

2004-05-28 [liiga]: sounds like a great idea ^_^

2004-05-28 [Linderel]: Okay, the page is now up at Idea Storage. ^^ I'll add it to the Writing Contests's link list, [Saffron] may do the same here if she wishes.

2004-05-31 [spiritee]: woooow place is getting larger every time i come back~

2004-06-01 [Dil*]:

Don't Be Lazy!! Put Winners In Contest Winners

2004-06-01 [irulan]: I didn't know that page was even there - very nice!

2004-06-01 [Calico Tiger]: I didn't know it was there either o_o

2004-06-02 [Dil*]: ahhh.

2004-06-02 [Dune]: so many contests o.o was wondering when people would ever run out of ideas..o.o;;;

2004-06-02 [Farewell]: prisoner#81378 Fan Art Contest not today dune.

2004-06-02 [Amerthyst]: lol. Awsome contest ! ^^

2004-06-02 [Farewell]: thankies. shes an awsome artist. she deserves it

2004-06-02 [Amerthyst]: she is ^-^ i always check out her house for new images

2004-06-03 [Saffron]: *cough* hm, a sex contest, shall we allow it or not? what do you say people?

2004-06-03 [Dil*]: I don't support it, elftown is not a place for porn, lot's of youngins go about here.

2004-06-03 [May-lea]: Well, let's read the uploading art rules? I know there are some dark wikis around, but this is a public page... I don't think it's a good idea.

2004-06-03 [Sirfy]: tastefull...but not porn. Maybe have it obide by the same rules as EW?

2004-06-03 [Farewell]: have to agree with may

2004-06-03 [Sirfy]: It's quite a risk...but if you'd really want to, you mighr want to talk to the "higher" people

2004-06-03 [Saffron]: good point, I'll take it off
