Don't we allready have Cowboyguy with all necessary abilitys ? I don't have access to the new members, and the email account. You seriously think denying new members from joining is okay, and not that bad? Funny.

Does Chad keep in touch with you at all, CBG? Has he even mentioned anything about Custom of the Month? I can't help but notice the spot that says "Reserved for Custom of the Month" everytime I visit the Customs section. Are you even allowed to simply put up a pic of Wayne's "Gift" buffy?

Nope, no contact at all ever since he started The Amazing Race game months ago.
I can see what the code looks like for that header. I don't know anything about that section though. You just want a picture there??

I'm not sure what Chad intended, but it sounded as though the winning "Custom of the Month" would be displayed in that box until the next winner came around. Chad hasn't touched it since Wayne won, so I don't know what he intened and wheter or not the challenges would continue. I don't see how it could hurt to put the picture up there, though.

Where is the winning figure? I don't see it anywhere...

Yeah, I don't think anyone has really cared much about getting a prize for any work they have done. It's just nice for the recongnition. I know a BIG reason I do customs is to post them in the forum and have people see them/comment on them.

Alright, I didn't know anything about these contests but I whipped something up really quick and put it up. I hope it'll suffice.
It doesn't take very long to fix odds and ends around here. You just have to do it!

Great job Phil Thanks! Wow this thread took off when I was gone for a few hours. ba1 I seriously don't know where you are coming from. You haven't noticed the forum's been lacking for more than a month? It seems like you're taking this personally for some reason, I dunno why? It's just a simple thread to shed some light on the issues that have been going on here. While the Survivor & Amazing Race game delays aren't that important (at least not to you since you're not in either, I'm in both), but I think the major problem is that people aren't able to join up. How would you feel if you really wanted to join here and you've been waiting for months? A good majority of us got here at a good time where we only had to wait a week or two for our account (I had to wait 2 weeks), but with the latest batch of people it's taking well over a month to be able to join. Nobody has access to that besides Chad, so it's not like we can really fix that problem ourselves. And we really can't go on with the Survivor and Amazing Race games either since Chad is really the only one who knows the most about those games. If Chad can't be around he needs to pass the torch (at least some powers) to another person so that this forum can thrive again. -Jess

It really does suck that there are so few new members. Within the past week tons more people have been on than I have seen in a while. It's really great, but I can't help but wonder how many new members want to join to voice their opinion that can't.

And, we know people have made comments on other sites about not being able to join. Hell, there could have been some great DST/retailer contacts wanting to join that could help with the campaign but couldn't.

Slayalive passed the 300 members mark today.
In the last three days we have a total of 19 new -ACTIVATED- (meaning they checked their email and activated their acct) members. Only three are from here as far as I can tell.
To me, it's unfortunate for this site to not allow normal registration. If it were me, I would have given up by now...waiting a month to be a part of this forum is ridiculous. It's not that amazing.

Yeah, i agree. But i do remember what it was like when we didn't have that, and lots of little 13 year old spammers signed up and just messed up the forum. But in these circumstances, either that needs to be removed so people can just sign up, or Chad needs to hand the reigns over to someone who'll actually be here, and take care of new members etc..

The Custom Challenges are my thing. I've found sponsorship for the next three and I will accept PM'd votes for the Challenge Contests. I don't want to spend too much time on Custom of the Month but I know people like it, so here's what's gong to happen for the next few months, or until Chad takes it back over... There won't be prizes for COTM, and the voting will be transparent. I'll just set up a poll when all the entries have been submitted. I know some people don't like this method but it's better than nothing. It also means I can participate without any implication of cheating. CowBoyGuy has the admin-fu to put a photo in the COTM box, so at least the winning custom will get a nice showcase. COTM: August 2007Please submit what you consider to be your best custom this month. I'm only accepting one entry per customiser, but the entry can be a single figure, a couple, several figures from a scene, a bust, or an interesting base. I'll take submissions until Sunday 2nd September, then voting will take place next week. btvsfigs.proboards48.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Customize&thread=1188385743&page=1

I don't know if it's okay or not. But I changed the email address to something I have access to. Once we get some communication I will put it back to the old one.
I just don't think it's fair to deny people, so for the time being...I hope Chad doesn't get upset.
