There was a discussion further down about compos... what do you think?
Compo should be chosen by:





Who can enter compo?

# everyone with a post count is a bad idea.
just posts loads of crap comments 10000 times and then you can join in. I'm doing that right now.

what if a new person has a great idea, we miss out on it :(


everyone and everyone thats what I say.

# I reckon
- The compo suggestion page should be cleared weekly.

- it should have a 'see the popular posts' clicky, like the compo pages themselves do.

- The compo should be chosen by vote.

- anyone can enter the compo

And, definitely this:

# that's why I think there should be
an hourly thread to allow compo entries. That way it's easy to hide the thread if you hate that week's compo.

# True
but I like b3ta. Seeing as Fraser asked Prodge how to improve the compo, I thought and came up with something that I thought would win all round. I wouldn't bother hiding the compo post but I wouldn't have to keep spazzing back to older pages when 150bazillion compo entries all got posted in new threads one after the other.

# Hmmm. Possibly
as long as they don't save them up.

Mind you, that might work as well. Friday would be come in, do some work, have lunch, look at newsletter, go home.

# It's not me that hates the compo
It just seemed a reasonable way to keep everyone happy. Prodge can just click 'hide' once an hour an never have to see another compo entry as long as he lives.

# I think it's fine the way it is.
All image challenges throw up rubbish ideas, but also some real strokes of genius.

This hasn't been one of my favourites, I must admit. There doesn't appear to be much of a challenge on the surface, and not much originality.

# I think
what annoys me most is tha amount of repetetive, no effort, no talent shit that gets posted. They all tend to be in a new thread which zooms anything good right off the board. I still like the idea of an hourly compo thread being the only place to be able to post compo entries.

# Hahaha.
I didn't think that suggesting an hourly compo thread would be quite such a radical idea!

# You missed a section
Where should the Image Challenge pictures appear?

On the Main board
or

# fine and dandy
but the flow of replies to an image are what makes this such a fun and jolly place, a separate compo board would further dilute b3ta.

I'm against this. The challenge is for photoshopping, just like /links has a challenge to find good links

# Nah
I think it should be part of /board.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who finally gave up lurking and decided to post because they had an idea brought on by a compo.
