I just don't get it
why have a comp ideas board when it's obvious that nobody actually votes for the comps.

fraser picks the geeky shit comps of the day

making us suffer for another fucking week

I know.
This compo was a bad idea. Millions of iSuckAtPhotoshop entries.

Yeah!
I forsee a great many repost from the i-pod bandwagon
( NinjaBadger Tea? Check. Biscuits? Check., Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:08, archived)

That's already happened

(davew2.7 what?, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:09, archived)

Then I was right.
Retrospectivally.
( NinjaBadger Tea? Check. Biscuits? Check., Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:10, archived)

Quite. I think the format probably goes
The highest voted ideas are considered, and if the powers that be don't personally deem them interesting enough, a substitute of their choice is picked.
( mugatu what the deuce?, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:09, archived)

and that substitute
always seems to be "if X ruled the world" compos.

hahaha yes. There is far too much g33k presence on b3ta as it is.
LET'S HAVE SOMETHING MACHO.
( mugatu what the deuce?, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:15, archived)

but what IF 'X' ruled the world....?

( NinjaBadger Tea? Check. Biscuits? Check., Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:11, archived)

...because they know it will spurn the most entries, thereby making the compo look really successful
even though 90% of the entries will be rubbish
( mugatu what the deuce?, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:12, archived)

so it's like the american government then?

i remember rob saying a while ago
vote-y compos would now be run only every other week, the other times it's a dictator challenge.
( Nonny Mouse. -- Scared as a Shitting Scorpion, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:09, archived)

can anyone remember the last time we had a votey challenege on the main board, or have I missed a few weeks somewhere?

( The Great Architect, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:09, archived)

last week's
ronseal challenge was a votey one. I know, I voteyed for it
( Damocles forgot to buy a sparkly bikini for his hamster on, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:11, archived)

There were
hundreds of glaringly obviously BETTER ideas than this.

they don't do it that way anymore.

( - D - Onion-head-carrot-fingers, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:12, archived)

when i say votey
i mean picked from the list of challenge suggestions.
It does seem that fraser picks them all the time, maybe the other time it's his own idea, not from the list.
( Nonny Mouse. -- Scared as a Shitting Scorpion, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:12, archived)

thats what I meant as well
why not take, say, 4 ideas from the 'ideas board' every week,
post em up on the main board for half an hour, let the regular contributors who hang around on wednesday to see the new compo vote for it - in thread- and then go with that one.
i'd say picking 4 choices at random from the board wouldnt be that hard - but maybe im wrong?

to save a bit of time as well, when people suggest a new image challenege idea, they could produce a standard size image to try and captivate the 'audience' into thinking it could be funky, thus saving Fraser the effort of making 4 mini pics to post with the challenge when it goes up.
By getting people who make the challenege ideas to put a bit of thought into a 'mini poster' for the challenge, it will atract votes anyway

*hugs* ^

I've been saying this for months
( prodigy69 missing a tooth, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:16, archived)

even when challenges were voted for the old way,
there were still people who bitched and moaned about them every week.
( - D - Onion-head-carrot-fingers, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:19, archived)

tis true, but at least we'd only have ourselves to blame....
and those that cared would have the vote anyway, as they are the ones who hang around on wednesday nights looking all shifty.
I must admit, i do feel sorry for Fraser having to put up with all us miserable cnuts at times
( The Great Architect, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:20, archived)

aye, true.
i just find all the whinging a bit tiresome.

*shrugs*
( - D - Onion-head-carrot-fingers, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:28, archived)

all this whinging power used to be put to image creation...

so I hear... ;-)

( The Great Architect, Thu 27 Jul 2006, 11:32, archived)

I think that if the ideas board was a bit more accessible
then there wouldn't be this issue. I don't care if the design of the webpage doesn't suit lots of buttons, there are some buttons that need to be added.

I never thought
they'd actually just take a bandwagon and turn it into a compo.
