Contests?

[Aru]

I know we have giveaways sometimes..but,
I think it'd be more fun if we had contests instead.

I dunno if we already do some..cause I pretty much just got here, but I mean, if we do, then we can use this thread to suggest some maybe?

I dunno, just a thought. We could even get more people to join..but some would probably only join to do the contests then leave :/

[DETHGIRL333]

yeah! we should do more contests. cause i never know when we're doing giveaways, so this is easier. but yeah, i think the contests should only be open to people who have had a certain amount of posts, so that you know their not just here for the prizes, you know? haha its so anoying when people only post a couple times, its so random

[Hylia]

We should have a song-writing contest! :D And the songs have to be brutal!!

and possibly have it so they had to have been a member for a certain amount of time.

Ja. That'd be better.
With posts they could just spam or some stupid crap.

[Kittie Killuall]

give aways are way better than contests. contests require participation.

[Brent]

Contest or Giv-A-Way - they still require work - you would be amazed how long it takes to address envelopes....

That all said - I think taking ideas for the 3 posters I have sitting here is waranted... so lets have them...

I want to do a contest for something that makes this place better.... so think up something.....

Well something that does not alienate people solely based on skills.... or make the contest open ended to allow people to think up the best solution for something etc..

Honestly I do not care I will continue to try to supply items for the contest and give-a-ways.... they all come out of my pocket so I like ones that benifit many but do not cost tons of money....

Time to be creative...

I would like to see participation from the Makers...but up to this point I have not even seen one post or acknologement by them - I know they are busy but I would love to include them in this place as they are the ones behind the reason it is even here...

Maybe we can get WilliamsStreet to sponsor some contests... who knows...

[Kittie Killuall]

how about the best Dethklok inspired limerick or haiku?

Toki is the best
I want to do it with him
And with Pickles, too

[thr4shm3t4l]

wow, that's very creative. :)

HOW'S ABOUT A WEB DESIGN CONTEST OR A LOGO CONTEST!! XDD;;
That's all I really know how to do.

I'd say a contest to whoever gets the most referrals..but....no offense, but some people could cheat.
Hell, I would. LMFAO!! Just kidding...I'M NOT A BAD PERSON!!

LOL!!

I was actually thinking the same thing (referrals), but you're right-- someone would prolly just find a way to cheat.

Hmm. All I know how to do is logos, too. :p

that's funny...i'm reading this in my web design class right now

[Dr.Rockso]

I HAS ANS IDEAS! OK! LETS ALL JUMP OFF A CLIFF AND THE LAST ONE SURVING WINS! :D Jk But I'm not good at logo desgin V_V Unless you count for my mad Paint skills. I dont have paintshop so im stuck using windows paint to make my stuff D: but I guess banner or logo contest would be cool. ban5

[DETHGIRL333]

yeahh i could dos thattss! haha im actually really good with editing, so this mightt work out :D

[Brent]

Good idea but it really does limit most people...

Avatars - Logos?

Smilies?

[Aru]

Smilies?
How? Most of the active people have said they can do it.
And by logo I meant like...uuuhhhm..for the site...I dunno what we'd do with it, though..so..I guess that's not the best idea.
I'd say HOW BOUT A WEB DESIGNING CONTEST
but I dunno how many people can..and whenever I try to code a page I just get pissed off with it.

So um...I dunno. It's hard to think of a contest that includes everyone.

[Hylia]

I'm new to web design, but I'd be willing to give it a try. :/ CSS pisses me off to no end though...

And umm...yeah, it is rather difficult coming up with contests that everyone can participate in. :/

[Aqua_Chan]

you should have a Dethklok arts and crafts contest.you know knitting,macaroni murder ladies, i'm personally thinking of making some dethklok vodoo dolls. i'm saving all my popcockle sticks lol

[Hylia]

LOL! Omg, I'm actually going to start making a Pickles plushie soon... xD I just need a few materials..

[Aqua_Chan]

that sounds awesome. you gotta post pics when he's done.

[thr4shm3t4l]

i can't do any of that stuff...but i learned thunderhorse on my guitar..

[DETHGIRL333]

hmm, someone ahs already said this before, but maybe we should have a songwriting contest, and they have to be reallyyyy brutal, and they dont even have to be that long

[Brent]

Why not just an open contest where who ever wants to participate submits their best Dethklok creation... photos - videos - whatever you want to submit - and we all vote on it..?

[Stitch]

Haha-- yeah. Good idea. xD

[DETHGIRL333]

[Brent]

That works for me....

[Aru]

LOL!
I lost then D;

[DETHGIRL333]

That works for me....
hahah wait, are you serious?

[Aru]

hahah wait, are you serious?
I hope not XD

[Brent]

No not serious..... Not for give-a-ways

but I will take any cash sent.......being not dumb and all - free money = I will take it....

I really will take anything to help support this place.... I will not say I have alot of costs monthly but they are still there to keep it running.....

I'm sure you've said this before, but whenever someone buys from this store, it goes towards the site, amirite?
If so, the next time I gotta buy something, I'll buy it here. Hopefully that'll help.

[DETHGIRL333]

yeah me too, once the new Dethklok CD come out, or the Season 2 DVD, ill buy it from hurrr :D

[Brent]

Yes - the store is actually super cool for sites like this..... Amazon - who I buy from becase they have the best prices anyway.... then if you buy it via this link - actually if you buy anything from amazon via the link here the site gets credit...

Only get a small % but it does not cost anyone here any money - just amazon...

So its a great way to support the site...

Probably made about 250-300 bucks so far - and spent twice that on give-a-ways.... but the inventment in the giveaways is totally worth it to make this the number 1 place for Dethklok...

[Hylia]

yeah me too, once the new Dethklok CD come out, or the Season 2 DVD, ill buy it from hurrr :D

I forgot about the fact that we could help the site by purchasing our stuff through links here. I'll definitely do that too once the new album's out. :3

[Stitch]

Me, too. Totally.

[Aru]

Am I the only one not buying that? LOL!
Why pay 13 dollars for somethin I already own! >_>;

Fail as a Dethklok fan? Probably.
Save money? You know it.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by that...xD;
When I said "new album" I meant the actual new album..like with all the season 2 crap on it. How can you already own that?!! lol.
Of course, I'll buy the re-release of the Dethalbum too because I want to support them, and because I want Go Into the Water ~Gulf of Danzig Remix. The double-bass should be so amazing. :D That's what you thought I was talking about, right? xD

haha im just wondering.. but do we get like and discounts on Dethklok merch, if your an active member of this website? :D :D

[Brent]

I wish I could offer a discount...

Technically your discount would be me giving away stuff...... but there is definately not price increase.....
