well i thought it best to take in the holiday season so here it is

The theme for this one is CHRISTMAS

Rules:
Playing this tournament is simple:

A tournament involves 10 different members max.
The winner of the last tournament will give a theme, and those who want to participate will post their pictures (Only one per person). Please, No more than ten participants total.

When all participants have entered their picture in the tournament (please submit a link along with your picture), I will then create another thread to vote on the pictures via a poll.

New Rules:
- No spot saving; you will only be counted if you have a picture submitted.
- Only one picture may be posted at a time, if you decide to change it, please edit the original post.
- No posting an image that has previously won a competition.

So in brief:
- Users who wish to participate please post your image within this thread followed by a link to the image source.
- After ten participants have entered the tournament, a second thread will be made with a poll to vote on the pictures.
- If entering a slightly computer manipulated photo, please post the original along with it so users who are voting can see the difference.

Winners will simply be the one who gets the most votes. He/she will then create another thread in which they propose a different theme for the next tournament.

Please resize your pictures to No Bigger Than 800 x 600 please resize or i wont use it
This tournament will have 5 days of voting.

You are permitted to change your image but if you could just change the URL in your original post and leave an edited comment with it.


one last note : i don't want to see any Ho ho hoe's :D:D:rolleyes:

I'll contemplate it.
It's a pain to have two different sizes of the same photo in my photo bucket account.

Frankly, I honestly don't see the point of 800x600 anyways, the main argument I hear is some people are still on 56k. Well sorry to break it to you, but technology doesn't stop. It's up to you to stay updated.

Anyways, I don't know if that my set image yet, so I'll take care of it when I know.

It looks sorta outa sink when some images are tiny and others take the whole page. IDK, its visually more pleasing.

Suggestion: Just reupload it to: http://www.imageshack.us/
Check the box and it automatically resizes it for you. Then you can keep the big one in your photobucket since that seemss to mean a lot to you ;)

Based upon that everyone else should upgrade to 1024 x 768. Not only will it be more visually pleasing continuous wise, but also the level of detail will be higher and therefore a higher quality image. :cool:

What you have to understand about me is that I am a very efficient and streamlined individual. I don't like having multiple means of accomplishing the same goal. Nor do I like having unnecessary copies of files.

Thats just the way I am, simple and efficient. hehe

I agree.
The argument against that (i would assume) is that some members resolutions are only 1024x768. I predict your argument will be that they need to upgrade. I sense a pattern ;) I believe the main reason behind these requests is so that we can be open to as many members as possible.

You could've done it in the time it took you to write that post. You wouldnt have multiple coppies, youd upload the copy and imageshack would automatically resize it. You would post the imageshack url and you would never have to think about it again...you only lost 45 seconds of your life to meet a simple request that would help others be efficient.

Well, to be blunt. This is a computer forum where the majority of common members are enthusiast, and have decent computers. Even if it was the later, this forum is basically at the bare minimum in terms of system resources lol. So the answer to that would be yes, technology waits for no one.

I don't think you got my point before. I never stated that it was hard or time consuming. What I said was that I like things to be simple and efficient. I've used various photo hosting sites in the past and have come to like photo bucket the best. Now when I upload my images to PB, I don't plan on uploading one of each size. I would pick one res that I prefer. That happens to be 1024 x 768. This is because I like to use the best quality option.

Anyways. I never said I wouldn't resize it. I'm just waiting till I decide on my final entry for the contest.

BTW- I'm not trying to sound rude, I just like throwing my point of view out there. So lets end this before it gets out of hand.

its already in print on a charity x-mas card :D

thanks ben_ben :)


vroom if it is such a problem i will save it and resize it for you :rolleyes:
(if your worried about confusing things on your photobucket you could just make a separate file )
we use 800 by 600 so every one can see the whole image on there screen and we make every one use the same size because then no one gets an unfair advantage for having a bigger image

just humor me for this comp then make a vote about it if you want :confused:
