I have a suggestion. To boost activity here, we should run SoTW a little differently. Basically, at the beginning of the week, I show a screen in classic. Just a standard, classic tileset screenshot. The, everybody who is entering has to remake that screen in a different contest. It doesn't require as much work to do as normal SoTW, since you already have a basic plan set up, but it allows for lots of variety since there are tons of different tilesets, people can use the same tileset differently, and people can interpet a screenshot in classic to look lke different things. How does that sound?
Not enough submissions for next SotW
I think that's a good idea, but you'd be better off going over to Pure and running it there.
If noone can be bothered to enter SotW here, why should they be bothered to do that?
I don't know. I'm just trying to get this going. Although I post at Pure more, this forum was my first one, so I still sort of have that "AGN can do anything Pure ZC can" attitude.
Not to mention I help run the AGN Expo forum, maling it a lot easier for me to start it here than at Pure.
You have to realize something: Noone at AGN really gives a shit about ZC. The developers may be a notable exception, but nobody here really gets excited over using it. All of those people are at PZC. Anything ZC-related here is bound to fail, except the development. The only reason most ZC users have an account here at all is because this is the "official" forum.
I do have to commend you people for bothering to keep the SotW contest here going. I'd have given up on this place a long time ago.
I give a shit about ZC, and that may be something I could possibly try.
I like the screenshot of the week. I'm just not very good at making them.
And I thank you for trying russadwan.
I like Russ' idea. A lot actually. Like, it's new. It's creative, and it's unorthodox. I'd enter it.
Well, how about this. On Monday, you can create a thread with the classic shot to be remade. I'll PM one of my old ones for the contest to use.
Edit: Could you clear out your PM box so I can send it though? 😊
So it seems SotW is all but dead since the last two contests haven't had a winner declared after a week :|
Ah, y'see, I'd be quite happy to do that, but Pineconn's the only one capable of changing the topic titles.
Oh. Oops.

Jesus Christ. Stop posting with SotW.
But it needs to get enough posts for the 50 PM email.
Does post count increase in General Bitching? If so, you could start a topic about the PM limit so you can get some more posts.
Heh, unfortunatly that causes a paradox. You see, you need 100 posts to access GB, but we need to access GB to get more posts...

Heh, it was an accident.

You could ask an admin to artificially change the post count number to 50... 😉
[EDIT] And BTW, I have more than 50 posts but only a 25 PM-strong inbox. Maybe it's 100 for an increased one.
I think you misunderstood. I'm pretty sure he was saying that when he said "50 PM email", he meant that after 100 posts the limit increases to 50, not after 50 posts.

I was in a bad mood considering the Steelers lost a game they should have won.... Ugh.
So, Amaster, planning on posting the contest I PMed you about any time today?
..crap, it's Monday isn't it! Oh, man, I've had one hell of a day. I'll get right on it.
