That
you were running out of ideas?
( Mond, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:06, archived)

uh?
Nah, I'm suggesting that the B3ta team actually puts MORE ideas into the challenge. Have a "Dictatorship challenge thing." B3ta Wants you to ...

hey, is the dog nose thing over today?
I haven't even done one yet!
( zog knees! knees! nuh nuh nuh nuh knees!, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:14, archived)

so is this as well as the weekly challenge
or instead of?
( cow23, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:14, archived)

Instead
so it's

Week 1: Evil Dictator challenge
Week 2: Board vote
Week 3: Board vote
Week 4: Board vote

and loop.

Oh ok

( Mond, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:17, archived)

ahh.. right
that sounds cool.

Wouldn't there be a danger of Commie infiltration?
I mean, next it'll be every two weeks, and soon you'll be stealing our cheese.

mmm
cheese

SEE!
you're at it already.
hmmphh!
( GR33DY, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:23, archived)

And why not?
So long as criteria stay as loose and obscure as ever (i.e. - not worth1000-ish).
( Cassidy : Vissi d'arte, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:24, archived)

When we started the challenges
I was always keen on keeping them about humour rather than technique. Hence no "colourise this back and white photo" type stuff. I've got a lot of time for worth1000 - lot's of talent there - but it's not what makes me laugh.
( rob You should follow me http://twitter.com/robmanuel, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:26, archived)

Precisely.
They do their thing, b3ta does its slightly sillier thing.
I know which one I prefer - not only because I lack the technical expertise, but also because I'd rather giggle at a pic than admire its professional execution.

Besides
when lacking hummus, the last thing you want is someone with a surfeit.
( GR33DY, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:34, archived)

Whereas I do lack the technical expertise
... and so think up challenge stuff that I can actually enter.

If we start making sudden changes like that
then the terrorists win!

I like moving along quickly anyways; people run out of ideas really soon
(Kimbo, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:07, archived)

yay
that would be cool..

also... how about "front page of the month"

and also a "view my profile" button at the top, and a username search?

I don't ask for much really..
( Obz Click, ting, stamps, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:08, archived)

how would that
square up with a weekly newsletter?
( aaarrgghh...wasps! !spsaw...hhggrraaa, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:08, archived)

i would think
that you think that we're not doing a very good job.

and I would tend to agree :)

Cockney rhyming slang one, I'm keen.

If I see another dog's nose telling a joke
i'm not going to post again (for an hour)

SPAZ?
ARE YOU PICKING ON ME? Saying I'm crap and stuff??

Eh?

*Cries and runs to tell mummy*
( Az The Spaz, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:10, archived)

I'm just lazy
it's a grab from this
b3ta.com/spazman/

Which I've never newslettered 'cause it's rubbish.
( rob You should follow me http://twitter.com/robmanuel, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:11, archived)

That's actualy very funny
but I'm still telling my mum on you and you wont be able to come out to play with me again!

I TAKING MY BALL HOME!!!
( Az The Spaz, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:14, archived)

I believe it used to be like it in the old days?
But how about bring back 'shop a randomly selected picture'. It popped up a couple of months ago as a mini-challenge, tis quite a laugh.
(Chromatically Challenged, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:12, archived)

yeah it did
and we changed it 'cause people moaned about some of the crapness of the challenges we thought up. But now I'm thinking a half way house might be good. 75% board voted challenges and 25% evil dictator challenges.
( rob You should follow me http://twitter.com/robmanuel, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:14, archived)

I agree it may be difficult sometimes
but then the word 'challenge' suggests that really doesn't it? :)
(Chromatically Challenged, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:18, archived)

well...
Well people vote a few minutes before anyway, kind of...so I think its a TOP idea!!! :-D
( Generationgav, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 13:19, archived)

or... you could just ask us for ideas for competitions
and ask us to potatoshop an image for them?
(Goodie, Fri 21 Feb 2003, 12:17, archived)

DO IT
you evil dictator types
(Dan Jaw, Sun 23 Feb 2003, 3:25, archived)

I honestly think...
That it would suck, but hey, thats just me. I don't enter compo's anyway, just like to watch um. ((My photoshopping skills are more then dreadful, so im doing everyone a favor by not entering))
