Elwin, SyncTime haven´t been released yet :) It´s still under heavy construction, and it *might* (and only might) be a joint app with SkinMem!! :)
Hmmmm....I typed in a message yesterday about the subject and guess what...I think I forgot to submit it, and or it didn´t submit it´self....don´t you just hate that? Anyhow...I would really like to see either one grand contest or several little contests involving pk´s appz plus skinbase related designs....I want to see a skinbase logo and/or mascot with a potential freeware suite, I´d also like to see our baseheads come up with a new default design for skinbase because it can be nothing more than fun....The prizes would be the same (default skinz) and once logos and/or mascots are created, than that will just broaden the horizon for future prizes of future contests....anyhow..I think all the ideas are good...I hope my thoughts are atleast considered...bugzOut <BR>
Considered ;) <BR> <BR>I think your ideas pan out into about three competitions. <BR> <BR>1. The competition we have already mentioned here with gRAVE and PK´s software. <BR>2. Coming up with a Skinbase mascot and/or logo <BR>3. Creating a new Skinbase site skin (based upon and/or using the winner of competition #2) <BR> <BR>And I love that plan :D
That´s alot of contest in one shot. just have to make it official!
Hmmmm..maybe I should stay away from my computer when I´m intoxicated? anyhow...since nothing I mentioned was thought up by me, I just wanted to say that you guys came up with some cool contests and I can´t wait to see them fly....
"Hmmmm..maybe I should stay away from my computer when IĀ“m intoxicated" Good plan! /bugzlitey: <BR>
So admins have no chance of creating a default skin for an app......... makes sense, but I´d like to say damnit! ;)
Ofcourse you can make a change of creating a default skin for an app, just post as Mel (yes, i read the archives ;) ). Or just dont be a judge :-) /PK:
LOL ..... who´s Mel?
oh.. prizes?! Dunno, what do we have to offer?!
/me has a vague memory of Mel...............who was it?
He was a foolish young skinner ;)
In defense of Mel: <BR>The poor guy just wanted to see if his work would be accepted for itself, and not based on his name or reputation. <BR>May he rest in peace... <BR> <BR>:P
Well, Elwin you seem to no know that guy ;)
SyncTime could be in beta form after the weekend so hopefully the next competition can officially start after that. <BR> <BR>Get ready to start skinning SyncTime, PKVolume and PKMenu. And start practicing making icons for PKVolume and SyncTime too ;)
/PK: ´s gone do that
Sounds like fun. How long does the competition run for? Can we submit more than one entry? <BR>
I´ll be sure and take a pencil and paper to work this week than!
You all make this sound like very much fun and I can´t wait to see your results....... count me out, I´m still pulling my hair out over a Aston skin, I´m trying to earn the free registration and time is counting down LOL
/me gets tire and finally kicks /Elwin:
Xymantix: 1. We´re not sure yet. 2. Yes you can :) <BR> <BR>Chichi: Skinning should be fun and you should be able to skin SyncTime VERY easily when it comes out ;)
uh oh... Basehead emoticon?!?! (:basehead) We need one, don´t ya think?! <BR> <BR>oki... my brain is fried now... ;)
We do need new site skins, a mascot and a basehead emoticon! Good call /snowman:
Maybe a skin suit that contains a mascot, a basehead emoticon and a site skin. /PK:
Prizes? <BR>Great heaping mounds of cash sounds good to me. <BR>And if Admins can´t win, I quit... <BR>{:p
neither will be optional Elwin ;)
I hope for you that Admins can win /Elwin:,... otherwise you just have to leave :-) I dont think cash is a good prize. Maybe a skinbase email acount or a thing like that, or a free membership to skinbase :-) /PK:
Hmm... OK. I´d rather be an all powerful judge, anyway. The thought of the bribes, and brownnosers offer the hope of evil satisfaction... <BR> :devil
If you are smart you can earn more money with bribes then with skinning... :-)/PK:
Oh - I can offer my virtue as a prize. It´s hardly been used... <BR>{:p
The best PKmenu skin? <BR>The best PKvolume skin? <BR> <BR>the winner gets to be the default skin for anyone that downlaods these software :)
PK said: <BR> <BR><i>Maybe a skin suit that contains a mascot, a basehead emoticon and a site skin.</i> <BR> <BR>I like that idea a lot.
I like my idea a lot ;). But I also like BruB´s idea (very very very much :-) ). <BR> <BR>Maybe a competition with more then two freeware applications :-), and the winners get to be the default skin for those applications (would be a nice prize I think). <BR> <BR>And maybe restricted to smaller/easy to skin applications, or applications that dont have much skins yet.
Sounds like good ideas to me! :)
allright, now get together and make some rules. having a default skin is a cool prize (i won a DeviantArt subscription a few days after i left the site .... bah) <BR> <BR>no need for long discussions, letĀ“s do it :)
I´m just happy you left the site :) <BR>First of all do Admins judge or can participate. Any way i´ll be happy to part of it.
well, the skins have to be new, not resubmitting an oldie. <BR> <BR>Now we need some programs, I know one or two nice ones ;-) (see brubs post) but there have to be more. Maybe gRAVE´s new program? (I forgot the name, sorry) <BR> <BR> <BR>PS, Maybe a skinbase favicon.ico for IE, im sure JamesT is gone win it :-)
I say Skinbase admins judge only. <BR> <BR>And I think that default skins can be created for SyncTime, PKVolume and PKMenu. SyncTime could probably use an icon too. And so could PKVolume. <BR> <BR>So the competition involves skinning SyncTime, PKVolume and PKMenu and/or creating icons for SyncTime and PKVolume. <BR> <BR>Prizes are that the winning entries become the default skins and icons for the applications. <BR> <BR>Coolness or what!?! :) And as a lot of software comes with more than one skin in the initial download, chances are you may not be the ´loading´ default skin, but still be included in the installation itself. <BR> <BR>Hopefully this competition can begin in the next 24 hours ;)
Im in! (only for SyncTime, I not allowed to skin my own programs...:-( . /PK:
OK, but a link to SyncTime would be nice. <BR>{:p
Woo Hoo! The beta is out. So I´m off to write competition rules ;) <BR> <BR> :brb
