2003-12-21 [bratkitty]: Yeah, you have their permission. But I'm talking about people who link from like their deviantart accounts and stuff like that. It's hard enough for those art sites to keep going because they have to pay for bandwidth without people leeching. Personally I don't see why people don't just link from their elftown accounts. If I found someone leeching bandwidth off my site, I'd be pissed.

2003-12-21 [Paul Doyle]: Oh, OK. I get it now. Thanks!

2003-12-21 [bratkitty]: No problem ;)

2003-12-21 [windowframe]: mreh! X_X I dun believe it! i neer noticed b4 but both the assassin contests r by the same person... :S is it just me who thinks thats slighty...yeah...y'no...¬_¬

2003-12-21 [og_ghost]: lol.... well, one of thems an exclusive club-like thing, which i don't thing belongs on a public contest page, but that's just me.

2003-12-21 [windowframe]: nah, s'not just u.

2003-12-21 [Sirfy]: -sigh- too many contests

2003-12-21 [windowframe]: *nod**nod* not just too many contests, too many similar contests as well

2003-12-22 [bratkitty]: Here we go with the "too many contests" complaint again, lol.

2003-12-22 [Paul Doyle]: I don't see a Tupperware contest anywhere, so we're OK

2003-12-22 [bratkitty]: lol, yeah. ;)

2003-12-22 [og_ghost]: I think I like that I don't know what you're talking about.

2003-12-22 [Pnelma Tirian]: oh, lord, that contest had better not be what I think it is...

2003-12-22 [Pnelma Tirian]: oh, god help us all....an orlando bloom contest.....*makes way for the screaming insane fangirls*

2003-12-22 [Vitani]: *gasp* nohooo....

2003-12-22 [windowframe]: I think i'd actually prefere the Tupperware contest plz

2003-12-22 [Lady Selphius]: Does it ever bother anybody else that when people put up a contest they neglect it include as much information as needed? Not even stateing a purpose or laying out any rules other than "just draw thins and you can be in the contest" It reeeeeeeally bothers me...

2003-12-22 [Pnelma Tirian]: lol, really....(to silverfire) hehe....yeah, that's annoying.

2003-12-22 [Sirfy]: yeah, same here..they expect others to take care of the rest 0.o

2003-12-22 [og_ghost]: yuppers. Minus the Tupperware, of course. Although, you know what? Perhaps you should overshadow the Bloom contest with a Tupperware contest... that would work... Or maybe put it IN the tupperware FOR the contest....hmm... I may be on to something here....

2003-12-22 [bratkitty]: I always write a draft of rules before setting up a contest. It's not that hard to do, and it only takes like 5 minutes out of my time. And you get a better contest if you do that. I hate when people just slap a bunch of stuff up without any effort. >_<

2003-12-22 [og_ghost]: true that, true that... :D

2003-12-23 [spiritee]: AHHH grrr some ppl needs to come up with more orginal contests...

2003-12-23 [og_ghost]: I have a few contests I can think of that are pretty original... but I'm busy right now. Plus, I want to participate in them.

2003-12-23 [spiritee]: yaaah samme..so busy lately, i havent participated in a lot of contests

2003-12-23 [og_ghost]: if anybody wants to host a contest, and needs an idea, come to me! :D

2003-12-23 [Paul Doyle]: How about the "Battlestar Galactica" contest? OK, maybe not

2003-12-23 [spiritee]: ...

2003-12-23 [og_ghost]: lol

2003-12-23 [Paul Doyle]: There's an "Alien vs. Predator" movie coming out in Summer 2004. I don't know how good the movie would be without Sigourney Weaver, but there's lots of fans who have read that graphic novel from about ten years back. An "Aliens " or "Predator" fan art contest might be awesome. I'm too busy to start a new contest, though . . .  :-(

2003-12-23 [Pnelma Tirian]: And I've got three going, and I don't need anything else right now to host for a while now.

2003-12-23 [bratkitty]: Well we've got like 3 or 4 elf contests going on, we've already had a dragon contest, now we got a dragon and elf contest. Lovely! XD

2003-12-23 [Pnelma Tirian]: lol! yay! how very original! :D

2003-12-23 [Nere]: orlando contest??0.o" things just reached an new low......i mean...really....*sigh*

2003-12-23 [Saffron]: how about a rider contest, with people riding horses, motorcycles, dragons, broomsticks.....

2003-12-23 [Pnelma Tirian]: poor elizabeth....with us trashing her contest like this! hehe! *pat pat*

2003-12-23 [Lady Selphius]: She brought it upon herself, not bothering to put a lot of effort into makign the contest...

2003-12-23 [Arisonu]: Maybe it's her first time doing it. Besides, I have seen a lot of good fan pics of Orlando as Legolas and this would be a good oppertunity to enter their pieces.

2003-12-23 [Lady Selphius]: Very true... Not saying the Contest idea itself is bad!

2003-12-23 [Sirfy]: We still need more votes for the Evil Contest

2003-12-23 [Pnelma Tirian]: It's just kinda.....disturbing.

2003-12-24 [Jeesum Crowe]: TAKE <poll:11734> THIS INSTANT!!!!!!!!!!!

2003-12-24 [Amerthyst]: When i left.. i thought people were gna calm down on the contests..Able to come back for a day and theres almost twice as many more o.o

2003-12-24 [Jeesum Crowe]: *ahem* Now take <poll:11779> OH MY GOD I'M SO OBSESSIVE

2003-12-26 [Chel.]: Check out my Fashion Art Contest!!!!!

2003-12-27 [Paul Doyle]: Hmmm . . . how about a LOTR contest, except the characters are Furries? (Think of that awful animated Disney version of "Robin Hood", or maybe any Brian Jacques "Redwall" book/cartoon)

2003-12-29 [Arisonu]: Has there been a Prismacolor Contest?

2003-12-29 [*DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE*]: I'm thinking about doing a Street Fighter Contest

2003-12-29 [Sirfy]: I think everyone should hold off on doing contests till alot of these go away..there's way too many right now.

2003-12-29 [*DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE*]: Ohhhh But I wanna Do A Street Fighter Contest! Waaaahh

2003-12-29 [spiritee]: second sirfy~~ itz such a long list

2003-12-29 [Mom]: What is bad is they are the same contest over and over...LOTR...LOTR...LOTR Bad guys,human & Elves..enough already.

2003-12-29 [spiritee]: yuupyuup they repeated a lot of fanart too...

2003-12-29 [Mom]: And how long do they need a poll up????some seem like forever..=\

2003-12-29 [spiritee]: lol i just ended a contest...some ppl forget about it..newayz..---vote at <poll:11916> for chibi contest

2003-12-30 [Sirfy]: my polls are only kept up for a long time (if it is) because there is a tie and no one else will vote

2003-12-30 [Sirfy]: The same fanart contest can be put up again...but wait for like..2 months. Also, this the same person doing all those LOTR contest...why not make 1 wiki page and put those seperate contest on different wikkis. Seems better and less space consuming.

2003-12-30 [Sirfy]: BTW Vampire Design Contest is now voting in art!

2003-12-30 [bratkitty]: I need more votes for the Final Fantasy and Gothic Illustration contest. They've been up a while, and I've only got like 10 votes in each.

2003-12-31 [spiritee]: i voted on everything

2003-12-31 [Paul Doyle]: I'm going to be setting a deadline for dee dreslough furry dragon contest as soon as the holiday is over. We could REALLY use some more participation over there! Please?

2004-01-01 [Sirfy]: I plan on participating, but can never get into the drawing mood. o.0

2004-01-02 [Dil*]: hmm it would be nice to have a prismacolor contest :D ...vote vote vote for bishie contest <poll:12041>

2004-01-02 [Arisonu]: Yay! I have confirmation. Stay tuned!

2004-01-02 [spiritee]: ..eight of the contests r past deadline

2004-01-02 [Saffron]: they are, aren't they?

2004-01-02 [Sirfy]: The Birds United is already voting..just hasen't moved yet

2004-01-02 [spiritee]: ...7 then....

2004-01-03 [Paul Doyle]: Proposed deadline for dee dreslough furry dragon contest: February 1, 2004. This open to feedback and suggestions. If you still want to enter NOW'S THE TIME, while I figure out a deadline based on people's feedback and interest level.

2004-01-03 [Sirfy]: can we please hold off on making contests? This is getting out of hand now 0.0

2004-01-03 [bratkitty]: As long as people are running their contests, I don't see the problem... We go over this like every two weeks. :P

2004-01-03 [Saffron]: yes, but now we could - in theory- put a temporary password on the page, what do you think, sirfy?

2004-01-03 [Paul Doyle]: make the temporary password something really painful, like "quetzalcouatlus", mwa ha ha

2004-01-03 [Sirfy]: lol, I think we should, just until things cool down and organized again.

2004-01-03 [kay-chan]: arrr! *falls down before paul* you speak the name of the mexican luggage god!!

2004-01-03 [Saffron]: sirfy, I'll give the password to you, so people can ask you if they need it!

2004-01-03 [Sirfy]: who would I be giviing it to? Anyone who asks?

2004-01-03 [Saffron]: people who want to move their contest into the right category, and NOT the people who want to make a new contest

2004-01-03 [Sirfy]: alright ^^ Will do!

2004-01-04 [Nere]: excellent idea that!!!

2004-01-04 [Bunny of The Moon~]: Whats the password?

2004-01-04 [Cati Stormweaver]: yeah what is the password i needf to move one of my contests?

2004-01-04 [Bunny of The Moon~]: i need to put mine on here

2004-01-04 [Paul Doyle]: to [kay-chan] actually, the name of the Mexican god you are thinking of is Quetzalcouatl (one spelling variant of several), or Kukulcan (sp?). "Quetzalcouatlus" is the name given to a giant pterosaur discovered in the 1970s. Caused a sensation for a while, just as the giant Utahraptor (looks like a huger version of Velociraptor from "Jurassic Park") was a few years ago.

2004-01-04 [Paul Doyle]: contest corner has a lot of space on it

2004-01-04 [spiritee]: oy....haha this is gonna get confusing...cuse sum of the contests there arent on this pg. yesh i sahll get confused

2004-01-04 [Saffron]: contest corner?

2004-01-05 [spiritee]: yuup but itz all good ^^

2004-01-05 [Sirfy]: what if someone that knows the password adds a contest?

2004-01-05 [spiritee]: haha i was thinking that.....i'm just hoping sum of the contests go faster. the chibi contest, btw, can soon be ended with min of 3 votes so pllllllzzz let me get rid of it

2004-01-05 [Sirfy]: I'm waiting for more votes in my Vampire Design Contest so I can get my Hellena Contest up -sigh-

2004-01-05 [Davorah]: RANDOM ACT OF ADVERTISEMENT: Weekly Funny Stuffs! GO NOW!!!

2004-01-05 [kay-chan]: shush! it was in a book and it was the mexican god of luggage.

2004-01-05 [Davorah]: Oooo Luggage!!! *knaws on some luggage* yummy!

2004-01-06 [Saffron]: you guys want the password gone yet?

2004-01-06 [bratkitty]: yes.

2004-01-06 [Amythest Cat]: but nothing looks cleaned up yet...

2004-01-06 [Saffron]: hm you know what? I'll remove it

2004-01-06 [Saffron]: hm, what does this mean: Wikipage is starting to get too big! Please divide it into many pages! ?

2004-01-06 [Arisonu]: It does that, even to small pages. It's just being anal retentive.

2004-01-06 [Saffron]: ok then I'll ignore it

2004-01-06 [Sirfy]: I ignored it and it went away :/ Strange world this ElfTown.

2004-01-06 [windowframe]: Hedda put a size limit on the wiki thing, when there were more than 3,200 characters, that message appeared... unfortunatley...3,200 characters isn't actually that much in the grand scheme of wikis...

2004-01-06 [Davorah]: lol indeed! I get on my wiki pages too, I ignore it...lol

2004-01-06 [Sirfy]: really its not o.0

2004-01-07 [Paul Doyle]: dee dreslough furry dragon contest deadline is SUNDAY, FEBRUARY FIRST, 2004

2004-01-07 [Jeesum Crowe]: I hate these things, but I'm desperate (so sorry): love u forever and always till the end. I cant live without u bc ur my best friend. send this to 10 ppl in the nex 5 min and u will get kissed friday by the love of ur life. DONT BREAK THE CHAIN! And don't send it back! (there I sent it to the 112 people who watch this place XD)

2004-01-07 [Dil*]: vote vote vote bishie contest

2004-01-07 [spiritee]: ha how cheap is that

2004-01-07 [Pnelma Tirian]: damn. CURSE YOU, JEESUMCROWE!!CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRSSSSSEEEEEEE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2004-01-07 [spiritee]: ??

2004-01-07 [Thorgin]: Those chainletter things are so bloody annoying.

2004-01-08 [Paul Doyle]: Now a ghost of Mary is going to float around, or something, asking for donations to the Vatican

2004-01-08 [Paul Doyle]: That is, if we do NOT answer the chain ;-)

2004-01-08 [Thorgin]: Well i'm fine with that. I don't believe in Mary, Joseph or Jesus.

2004-01-08 [Paul Doyle]: And they will not believe in you, Thorgin, if you do not answer the chain letter prayer to Saint Jude! Mwehehehehe

2004-01-08 [og_ghost]: although, technically, doesn't that post send the chain to everybody including itself? I mean, when JeesumCrowe comes to this page, he will recieve his chain letter.

2004-01-08 [Paul Doyle]: (her name's Paige) A chain letter about Our Lady of Perpetuity, then? :P :P :P

2004-01-08 [Davorah]: ???!!!

2004-01-08 [kay-chan]: what if you don't HAVE a love of your life? or his/her mouth is sewn together?

2004-01-08 [Pnelma Tirian]: then you're pretty much screwed. And what are you doing loving a person with their mouth sewn together>? ew.

2004-01-08 [kay-chan]: well, my friend's destined to have an armless legless balding boyfriend with no tongue and his mouth sewn together, feeding through a belly-button tube, so I don't know what YOU'RE talking about. ew what? *looks confused* you prejudiced against the armless-legless-mouthless-sorta? is this some new sorta visual disgust going around or is it just a you thing?

2004-01-08 [Bad_Badtz]: sweeeeeet heh, ^__^

2004-01-08 [Linderel]: What ever has happened to that poor guy you're talking about, Kay? Or are you joking?

2004-01-08 [Paul Doyle]: Theme music for Kay's basket case guy: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" (Monty Python)

2004-01-08 [Pnelma Tirian]: it's a me thing.

2004-01-08 [kay-chan]: hehehe.... i'm joking... but it's destined to happen! if there's an armless-legless-mouthless-sorta guy around, our friend shall find him and date him.

2004-01-08 [Pnelma Tirian]: I bet she would.

2004-01-09 [Paul Doyle]: Hope Kay doesn't mind the endless *chooka chooka* sound of the machine the basket case is hooked up to

2004-01-09 [Pnelma Tirian]: lol! poor guy

2004-01-09 [kay-chan]: *dances to the chooka chooka* and he isn't mine!!! and he's for a guy. cuz we're so incredibly mean.

2004-01-09 [Pnelma Tirian]: akoy, that was incredibly weird.

2004-01-09 [kay-chan]: ur a chooka chooka... hehehe... when i'm tired, i make less sense than i usually do. ain't it great/

2004-01-09 [Pnelma Tirian]: MROW?

2004-01-09 [Pnelma Tirian]: MROW! *bites your hand for attention*

2004-01-09 [kay-chan]: *bites back* heeeey! i'm supposed to bite other people!! this just is like against nature or something along those lines...

2004-01-09 [Pnelma Tirian]: what? *is happy because she got attention and YOU didn't haha so there :P*

2004-01-09 [Saffron]: hey! some people have put their contest at the top of a list! (as a punishment I'll be forced to move you to the bottom, sorry!)

2004-01-09 [Saffron]: bad, bad people!

2004-01-09 [Paul Doyle]: *chooka chooka*

2004-01-09 [Sirfy]: sorry to be an advertiser..but I need more people in the Sakuryoko Contest -sad puppy eyes-

2004-01-10 [kay-chan]: *steals her puppy dog eyes and saves them for later*

2004-01-10 [Paul Doyle]: are the puppy dog eyes going to be given to the basket case hooked up to a machine that vibrates and goes *chooka chooka*?

2004-01-10 [Paul Doyle]: [Sirfy], I'm still going to do a version of Sakuryoko, though I'm currently horrendous with colored pencils

2004-01-10 [kay-chan]: nope! he's not MY future bf. I don't have to give up my sad puppy dog eyes to him.

2004-01-10 [Saffron]: who thinks elf contests should go in the creature contest category?

2004-01-11 [bratkitty]: Well they ARE technically fantasy creatures, so I think they should.

2004-01-11 [bratkitty]: We need a furry contest here! :D I'd make it myself, but I'm running 3 contests as it is. ^^;

2004-01-11 [Paul Doyle]: to [bratkitty] Not to sound like a broken record, but I do have dee dreslough furry dragon contest, which ends February first. But yes, we need something with furries/scalies/lycanthropes/anthromorphs. What a great idea!

2004-01-11 [Arisonu]: Try my contest Prismacolor's Triumph. I allow those animals.

2004-01-11 [windowframe]: ... >_<;;;;;;;

2004-01-12 [spiritee]: ooh and i was just wondeirng y sum old contests r at the bottom...ya know, for punishment, u should stick them sumwhere int he middle instead ^__^

2004-01-12 [Sirfy]: mine is there because no one is entering >.<

2004-01-13 [Pnelma Tirian]: DUDE!THERE IS A FURRY CONTEST!!IT'S THE ANTHRO CONTEST!!!!

2004-01-13 [Saffron]: those aren't really old, that's why they got moved!

2004-01-13 [Sirfy]: hmm..another contest :/

2004-01-13 [t6]: Ok, just a quick note, the rules for the Frog Contest have changed, each person can now enter TWO pictures if they want instead of being limited to one.....lol please enter, it still has no deadline....

2004-01-13 [spiritee]: i'll be advertising too ^^ hehe sorry.. colorbook contest part two need more entries~~

2004-01-13 [Insane Cultist]: i made a contest, too ^^ called the Everything Goes Contest. please check it out

2004-01-13 [Saffron]: if you must advertise, why not do in on contest corner at least it's a more perminent way!

2004-01-14 [Paul Doyle]: (off topic, I know . . .) http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: what are they? o.O

2004-01-14 [Vitani]: they are stupid lol

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: I want the bold gone!

2004-01-14 [May-lea]: ?

2004-01-14 [Paul Doyle]: Would you rather have flashing text and a cheesy MIDI? And let's not forget about the sprites that follow the cursor whenever you move the mouse . . .

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: The Elftown style sheet is changed is such a way that Art Contests looks terrible! (all the links are bold), to fix this, go to tech.html, delete the line that imports changes, find a:link and a:hover and delete the line that says font-weight: bold, and set it as your new style sheet. Hope this helps other people like me.

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: *lol* ok that'd be worse than the bold, it still bothers me though

2004-01-14 [Sirfy]: are you talking about the links for the contests? or the ET links on the side

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: the ones on the side AND people's names and links to wiki pages and ordinary addresses

2004-01-14 [Sirfy]: -twitch- it was normal until I said something...now mine changed...-twitch-

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: and, like this change?

2004-01-14 [Sirfy]: i like the relation names being bold...but not every single link...

2004-01-14 [May-lea]: Blame [Hedda]... That's his idea

2004-01-14 [Saffron]: well for the people who liked it better the way it was, I've put instructions in my house, but if enough people don't like it, maybe we should complain to [Hedda]

2004-01-15 [windowframe]: *mreh, I have issues w/ style sheets, i really really hate them... * I'm not sure he'll change it back even if enough people complain...

2004-01-15 [spiritee]: i'm clueless w/ style sheets...and cookies, wat r cookies?

2004-01-15 [Paul Doyle]: Keep them away from Cookie Monster, and you will find out about cookies!

2004-01-17 [TheRogue]: Could someone please add my contest to your list? Waking Nightmares Contest Art contest for people who wish to draw nightmares, and/or other psychologically unsettling pictures based from dreams...

2004-01-17 [windowframe]: not beaing to sound rude, i'm asking purely out of interest... why can't u DIY?

2004-01-17 [Sirfy]: -twitch- I hvae a contest I REALLY want to do..but there are too many right now. -twitch-

2004-01-17 [May-lea]: Well me too... I had it in mind for monthes. I'll wait anyway... To many contests... Nobody'll enter mine...

2004-01-17 [Sirfy]: I think they might delete wikis that are too big. It says that this one is too big and needs to be put in smaller wikis...and it is....o.0

2004-01-17 [windowframe]: noo!!! they're not going to delete wiki's because of that bloody bleedin message!! *fustrated* *hair falls out* >.<;;;; it's just because some people complained about pages being too long and having to scroll down n stuff.. nothings gonan happen to the page.

2004-01-17 [Sirfy]: I really want to make this contest -twitches- but theres...too...many!

2004-01-17 [Saffron]: well I'd say go right ahead, because there aren't gonna be any less contests anyway

2004-01-17 [Saffron]: hm case of a messed up layout

2004-01-18 [Sirfy]: The more contests there are, less chance of one getting entered

2004-01-18 [og_ghost]: i don't agree. I think it just means that there is more to choose from, so it is a less chance that everyone will pick yours, but that just gives the competitions a little healthy competition. :D

2004-01-18 [Sirfy]: too healthy. Earlier there were MANY who loved drawing dragons. My contest only has 2 entries.

2004-01-18 [Sirfy]: I don't know if my new one will be that popular, unless advertised on other places

2004-01-18 [Saffron]: that's what the contest corner is for

2004-01-18 [Sirfy]: Ja. I'll ask some friends if they'll advertise it on their description for me ~.^

2004-01-19 [Davorah]: go to Elftown Wiki Advertisement Page and post up your Wiki to get more advertisement

2004-01-19 [Sirfy]: hehe, thanks ^^
