It would be cool to have a legit sig contest so others from all over the www can join the fun.

I was gonna suggest the same. It would be cool if we had a Club Spurs contest here and every round we could have a new player, and at the end of the contest, all of the sigs made could go into the sg library for anyone to use.

well, with Blondie's permission, I say we put this together. I'm definitely in. We should have Blondie decide which player is selected for each round. Who all would be up for entering. You don't have to have lot of experience, as long as it's fun, I think it would be cool. So far, looks like

I'm sure Chago and jaiberto would be up for it as well. It would be cool to get at least 10 of us.

Once you make the topic about where ,when and the rules ? I can start posting it in other forums including the TSZ forums. Why not have one contest free style were the poster can pick the player them selves? Maybe have animations categories and maybe the worst sig contest also.

we can have them weekly and monthly ones. Then we can have just basic photo shop contests where someone post a picture of a maybe a red door and others try and do as many things as they can with the door, and the winner gets to name the next object to be used and so on...

I would also like for the folks involved to get to enter at least two entries so it will separate this site from the others. I have over 50 copies of basic photo shop to give out at GTGs for folks who want to chime in but don't have the software.

You can showcase the winning sig on top of the page as the banner each week and maybe give out software as gifts, I would make the first contest really basic and not to many rules. let folks make the sigs and post them in the topic and it's ok if we know who did what on the first one. all the PM ing and red tape from the TSZ's contest was a real turn off and they lost many contestants. my 2 cents........

Two more things I would like to add...............

This forum is set up so you must be a member to see the graphic topics, That alone will cause you to lose 89% of folks who want to join but hate having to go though the membership process just to see the banners.

and second....... can you put a link on the main page of every page so folks can go to the sig contest in case they are new and don't know what forum to go to. Kinda like you guys do on the front page when your pimping your wall papers.

If your serious about making this accessible to all the www? you sometimes have to make big changes in order to accomplish that task.

How can we get this going. Can a mod (a non-designer) set this up with rules etc.. or should all the entrants pick a player and have a few days to come up with our sig and let the forum members vote.

I have asked the Mods many questions and I got many topics deleted. You have to be careful not to say anything that may make them or the site look bad. Just the mere fact that none of them have chimed in on this is proof they don't care, or do not monitor the topics well.

Maybe if you can find another site where we can get this thing going, I might still have intrest in this.
If not good, Good luck brah and E mail me if you ever get any sort of response from ClubSpurs.

Im sorry if we dont respond quickly enough to suit your taste Mouse. All of the mods here have real jobs - this is not our sole responsibility as it is at many other places.

to respond to your comments:

1)We ask that people register to view our graphics because it is the best part of what ClubSpurs.com has to offer. The traffic helps out numbers which in turn helps us provide this lovely piece of internet real estate to all of you fre of charge. Registration is completely free and takes a matter of seconds so I'm not sure where the trouble is in that.

2)I think a contest would be great if someone wants to organize it say chago4 or 14dave...........I simply do not have the time right now.

I second what Blondie said, this is a site run by the fans for the fans - we have real life jobs as well.

I think a contest is a great idea and would happy to help as a judge but I think one of our graphics masters should coordinate running it. Only Blondie and I can add topics to the front page so I would happy to help in adding an announcement and link to the front page if this gets going.

Dam I bait the hook and catch not one but two fish, well at least we know you guys are lurking and reading our stuff. :lol:

I kinda can dig where your coming from as far as needing to be a member of the site to view and use the graphic forum but it has it's flaws. you do lose lots of traffic since 98% of the www likes to see a site before they take the time to register.

I guess we can have the contest in a forum that is accessible to all so we don't have that problem. I can tell you now the sites I post at most want to see this thing take place before they will decide to get involved for the next one. That's just the way it goes sometimes. But if you want a small turn out then the way you have it set up will have to do.
I say get this thing going by Friday so I can start giving out the links.

Sorry mouse that we dont post as much as you but most of the time I just look and sometimes post. I work alot I go in at 9am and get home around 7:30pm. And part of that time is 30 mins. going and 30 mins. coming back from work. I work at a sign shop doing designs and other stuff. so when I get home from work I just want to lie down. And when I do get on the computer at night its just to look at my email and some sites. Like misti and jackie said we have jobs and we can't be here all of the time. But we do come and look to see if its going OK. Contest sounds good but dont know if I'll have time.

As for the registering its a good idea, if someone doesn't have time to make a login name then they shouldn't come in. When I see our wallpapers in other websites or computers. i know someone had to get in to our site to get the wallpapers. Thats how we get traffic in. I dont know which sites you go to but all the other forum sites I go to require to register. we dont want people to just come in and look at our wallpapers and leave. :frown: we want them to join!! even if its just once a year we see them.
