FFA!

Yeah scary for October

Please clarify - just scary or are we having a blood requirement?

Would hate to burn up another plastic bridge with a candle for a pic that doesn't qualify because I overlooked the fake blood requirement.

I thought October was supposed to have a Halloween theme.

Should be talking about November's at this point. I suggest something pertinent to Veteran's Day- parade scene, treaty signing (Armistice Day), etc

I've created a banner thread for October. waiting to be modified.

Any chance we can get the Founders to get together and decide what we can do for the site? I know life can get busy, but it feels like there aren't enough folks around here to push items like we used to have.

Ya I tried to post a vote for the theme to the Oct thread, but then forgot it had to be approved in that section & never saw it get published.

Technically I posted a banner for Sept, (Which didn't fit into the Aug theme) but it was basically a similar picture to what's up there now.

We lost MW and Medd. They used to bust their hump around here daily.

I was hoping there would be another contest. Maybe I can just grab the 2nd runner up from last year's contest and use that.

Okay, I just posted two. From now on if there is no contest I will just start using the banners from last years based upon the month we are in.

If there's no contest, can't you just do an open call for banners? Then we can vote on those, or you just pick.

Or, like VideoViper reminds us, you could just post a list of themes and due dates if that's easier than remembering each month.

July: liberty or nationalism (independence, freedom, raising the flag, extreme nationalism, comrades, etc)

August: insurgency (bad boys, Taliban's, cobras, etc)

September: air force (airport, dogfight, bombing, helo deployment, just flying, paratroopers, etc)

October: bloody month (war wounds, psico killer, etc)

I like all of those ideas except for the November one simply because water that time year could be very cold or even frozen for a lot of members.

I'm good with Feb being a free for all

Blood will weight in when he gets back. :trollface:



couple of ideas I liked in the past.

Using Multiple toy lines.
forced perspective is good, but requires more participation than we currently have.

If no entries pick either a runner up from the year before or random poll of didn't win 2nd chance banners.

This is really one of the things I like about this sight & would love to get more participation.
