Hello

I don't see how its any different to the Channel 4 compo that ran before Christmas

( leningrad posting any old shit on, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:48, archived)

Did they ever use those idents?

( Comma, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:49, archived)

I think they were used on the website,
although I never saw them.
( Kamikaze Stoat, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:50, archived)

I can't remember, to be honest

( leningrad posting any old shit on, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:50, archived)

the Channel 4 one was much better
it was a UK company that actually shows some pretty good stuff
and the theme allowed a larger range of ideas, this one blows goats, the logo is shite for starters
( Haku - haven't you heard? the bird is the word!, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:50, archived)

What the fuck difference does it make where the company is based?
This competition is largely shit, yes, but there are past competitions that have been equally shit.
( Comma, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:52, archived)

yes but those past competitons weren't endorsed by some huge company throwing peanuts out to people for making them a new logo
people joined in because they wanted fun, not the pathetic hope of trying to win some piece of gaming technology
( Haku - haven't you heard? the bird is the word!, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:54, archived)

Where does it state that Sony will use the image?
I assumed this was just a sponsored compo - where the winner gets something more that a mention in the newsletter.
( leningrad posting any old shit on, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:55, archived)

nowhere
but that doesn't mean if they find an image worthy of being used they won't contact the creator - or using a similar idea for a logo

How the fuck has B3ta Sold out???
At one point in time did Rob ever say "This site is strictly Anti-Capitalist"?

Take this poseur fuckin attitude elsewhere, cos its really getting thin...
( PMGT Orchestra Of Wolves, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:49, archived)

That's what I meant to say, only I'm not clever enough to resort to anything but sarcasm and profanity.

( Comma, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:50, archived)

oh you so are
you just prefer using sarcasm and profanity ;)
( Mushroom, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:52, archived)

That whole "Holier Than Thou" attitude just really really pisses me off.
How many people that have complained that B3ta has "sold out" probably own Sony products, or some similar companies products?

What the fuck do people have against making money? If someone came along and offered you cash for use of your website, I'm sure you get all high and mighty and talk about how it would be selling out, and how you would never sell your soul to the corporate machine.


Suck on my fat, profit making balls.

I am sure Rob would be happy
to have no advertising on the site at all, if some generous person donated enough money to pay the server costs.

I don't have enough spare change though.
( Mystery_Bob, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:56, archived)

precisely.
Its a necessity. Websites cost money.
( PMGT Orchestra Of Wolves, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:57, archived)

indeed
I dread to see the server bill for this site.
( MrA, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:59, archived)

Exactly. 30,000 odd users and counting...

( PMGT Orchestra Of Wolves, Mon 23 May 2005, 1:00, archived)

I don't have a problem with Rob making money
but this compo is fucking shite
( Haku - haven't you heard? the bird is the word!, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:58, archived)

I'll grant you that.
find image, copy, paste. No scope for imagination. But thats not what people have been complaining about.
( PMGT Orchestra Of Wolves, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:59, archived)

that's my main gripe over this one
zero creativity, how many entries are like you say, "find image, copy, paste."? most of them probably
( Haku - haven't you heard? the bird is the word!, Mon 23 May 2005, 1:01, archived)

Then make something else instead
you don't have to enter the challenge and posting other stuff will force the challenge entries off the board.
( Mystery_Bob, Mon 23 May 2005, 1:00, archived)

if you notice, I'm deliberately doing logos that wouldn't ever be used
I like to protest in my own way ;)
( Haku - haven't you heard? the bird is the word!, Mon 23 May 2005, 1:02, archived)

Bah
they are just being emo.

Yes...how dare a website try and pay what it takes to keep it running!
( Esch, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:53, archived)

yep.
How dare Rob, Cal and Pep sell something that belongs to them!
( PMGT Orchestra Of Wolves, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:54, archived)

.and at the same time
get quite a good prize for the winner.
Sounds like a good deal to me, to be honest.
( Kamikaze Stoat, Mon 23 May 2005, 0:57, archived)

Yep.
Its hardly like B3ta are gonna overthrow the government, using their new found power and wealth, and make us all run in little hamster wheels to power the servers...
