the_haganizer Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've noticed that in the 'Hall of Fame' for the photo comps that it only goes up to April of last year, is that because there haven't been any since or becasue the winners haven't been added to there? And are there likely to be any photo comps in the future? Thanks Robo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It kind of died a death Robo, if there is enough support for it we could look at starting it off again, but the way we ran it needed an inordinate amount of input from the moderating team so we would need to work out a way to simplify the competition organisation.

the_haganizer Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Ok, so how did it basically run? Was it a theme based on the month or just random themed ones, or no theme at all? And how was the winner chosen? Public vote for the top 10, or just the mods chosing? And would it be worth putting a poll in this section to see how many people would want to support it coming back? Thanks Edited January 9, 2009 by the_haganizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I too miss the photo comps & it is good to see a few members still posting great pics. However the content drawn by a comp was amazing, and let's face it most of us find ourselves in some outstanding places at dawn & dusk with the magical lighting and skies. I almost (lots of them eh!) got a close up fox yesteday - drawn in by some roe gralloch. He just ran as I was thinking camera - my mate was thinking which firearm - we had two rifles and a humane dispatch on the bonnet! - all way out of reach as we were at the back of the car with deer processing activities. The only thing missing from dawn and dusk stalking yesterday was a few snaps - 2 foxes & 3 roe - start the comps again and I'll make sure I have a camera to hand. I always take one lamping for some reason Cheers AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 OK, so how did it basically run? We can up with a monthly theme, people uploaded their pictures, and then at the end of the month those pictures were gathered up and organised into a poll. That was run for about a week to decide a winner, but in parallel the next months competition was kicked off in the back ground, and so on and so so forth. There was a bit of admin doing that each month as the number of entrants increased, plus the monitoring of the thread deleting 'nice pic mate' replies (despite asking people not to post etc etc...) If anyone can think of a simpler system feel free to suggest it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_haganizer Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well I'm not sure of any easier ways to run the competition, but what could be done is to select some new mods that are just for this section (Pictures) and then they can sort out all the posts that are not wanted in the competition topics meaning that the other moderators and admins have more time to sort out and look after the rest of the forum.. That make it easier?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It's a Black-Bellied Whistling Duck B) Innit well done that man. and agree with Haganizer - photo mod or perhaps a panel of judges should be appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
