Is Jack Thompson even doing anything lately? o.o ... There's not much he can do if he's disbarred. Without a license to practice law, the only thing he's capable of is being laughed off the face of the planet. It's the only real power he ever had over people, and he ruined that for himself. On topic, when is it you folks hold that Caption Contest? Is it an annual thing? And, uh... do I have to be "The iScribbler"? >_>

Ah yeah.. that's basically what I meant. Haven't heard much about him since he was disbarred.
Also, the Caption Contest was a long running forum event from a long long while back now. It's over and done and probably not coming back. They tried to revive it once; it didn't really work out. And, err.. well yeah. that's about it.

Giving out the Caption award to only people with 10 or more points means that only 2 people will ever have the award - MLT and TronBonne. What if that were extended to, say, the top 10 participants? Also, fAB, can you add hover-over descriptions for the awards, so that forumgoers needn't refer back to the table to see what they mean? can be done with TITLE="text here" or ALT="text here" (one of the two, though you can should use both) in the HTML IMG tag. Would be helpful to people, I'm sure. Lastly, is it possible Cleveland Rock is Jack Thompson, in a transparent attempt to prove to us otherwise? If not, he's definitely living up to that "Resident Caskett-case" avatar text.

Awesome. Back in the day when I had a forum for myself and my friends the awards part was the greatest and encouraged more contests like the Secret Santa thing.

Wow, while I have been here a long time, I never know I even posted 500+ times. I mean, I rarely post. Anyway, thanks for the award. Makes me feel more like one of the senior members here.

Just now noticed this thread. Dang, I should've registered on the forums back when I first found the site. I could've already gotten the 5 year badge and been closer to 10. But of course, I'd have to actually post more often, since I have to have 500/1000 posts. Not sure how easily I'd be able to do that.

I was wondering if I may make a couple suggestions for the creative corner so that it would become more active?
Fan-Fic:
Multi-part chaptered stories: When an author completes a multi-chapter story, they get a reward (a special reward for Legends and one for non-Legends). After they complete about...5 they get another reward (again, a special one for Legends and for non-Legends). Maybe if they contribute about a certain number of fics, they get a Fan-Fic Contributor reward?
One-shots: For Legends and non-Legends, they should post about...3?
Fan Art: Maybe artists that post 10 or more Legends fan art would get a reward and those who post non-Legends fan art get rewarded after posting maybe 15 or so? Maybe if they post a certain number of fan art, they can get a Fan Art Contributor Reward?
Like I said, it's just a suggestion.

I don't know about having awards for non-Legends contributions. This is, after all, a Legends community.
I've always liked the idea of having awards for completing main-site contributions, especially since hardly anyone really contributes to the main site anymore. Especially since SPA has a badge.
For the record, all submission sections on the main site are open and submitting fanworks is highly encouraged. It has to be Legends, though!

That's a good idea, Dashe. I had also noticed that hardly anyone seems to send anymore fan-works to the main site. I had sent a couple more fan-fics and my fan art to fAB's e-mail and I am waiting for him to post those up and then I shall send more of my fics his way.

One of the main problems I have with "Fan Art" submissions being a gauge for obtaining awards is applying a value-based measure of the work itself, and whether doing so would detract the whole point of submitting 'work' (because the 'measure' of 'art' in itself is extremely subjective).
Raising an example just to prove a point: a value-driven system (e.g. full-colored submissions = 2 points, etc) would not work, as it would only raise unwanted tension among the community.
To be fair, shouldn't illustrations themselves be the personal 'presentation' of an individual's expression of fandom (casual, quick, serious, etc), and that presenting it on the site for others to admire (and in some cases, receive feedback for) is a reward on its own? As such, it would not only provide more creative freedom for everyone to express themselves as fans of the DASH/Legends Series, it would also avert feelings of restriction by a de-facto system of standards.

You have a very good point, HF. I also like your fan art suggestion as well.

You'd think as much, but hardly anyone's submitting anything as is. Either that, or fAB just isn't posting anything anyone's submitted over the last half a year.

I think it's because of our art thread, why post it to the site when you could make a topic. Anyway I took off work today so I'll get to fixing my fan fic and maybe submit art .
