New For 2024 - The GADC Great Wall of Fame - Discussion Thread

yes

To try and get some entries in we will ignore this rule for the first round Suzanne.
The reasoning behind this particular rule is so that entrants don’t post half a dozen pictures across the site, and wait to see which ones get the most likes before leaving it to the last minute to enter. Same for the no swaps rule. But in any case, we are looking for still pictures that have not been shown before, as a still picture. Don’t know about any of the other ChallCom team, but I ain’t going to trawl through thousands of frames of video to check a single frame hasn’t been used before, there are no prizes at stake here :wink:

Does that go for all of us :smiley:

We can’t have one rule for Suzanne, as lovely as she is, and another for you, as ugly as you is :rofl:
So yeah, go for it Rich

Thank you kindly, so when is the new closing date for the January entries?

With regard to the lack of entries - the competition page is titled, “Great Wall of Shame”, and the related “Discussion Thread” page says, “Great Wall of Fame”.

These would seem to be exactly opposite subjects !

Perhaps this may be creating some measure of confusion as to the subject material for entered pictures ?

I suspect it got changed to ‘shame’ when we all* forgot to put any entries in by the closing date :wink:

(*except @MA2flyer and @DazC)

I think extending until roughly this time next Sunday?

Correct JoeC. It shall be changed back shortly

Aww, I quite liked it :wink:

So did I to be honest, but I think the wall of shame should be kept aside for the @group-fpv guys who can’t fly anything without smashing it to smithereens :rofl:
But they should be admired for their efforts as they keep the whole 3D printing industry in employment

come on now @DeanoG60 , don’t be like that :rofl:

A heads up for @group-challenges and everyone else that may be interested.
In order to get things back on track, the timings of the first 2 or 3 rounds will need to be changed a little.

Round 1 will now end on Wednesday 7th Feb at midnight
Poll will be opened soon after and will remain open for seven days.

Round 2 5th open now
Entries to be in by midnight, Sunday 3rd March. Poll will be opened soon after and remain open for 14 days.

Round 3 will open on 26th February and remain open for 4 weeks. This is the one that will get the timings back on track.

Please remember that photos for entry must be taken during the time frame of each round. ie round 2 pictures must be taken between 5th Feb and 3rd March, round 3 between 26th Feb and 24th March

Round 1 picture thread is about to be cleaned up to have comments deleted,

@group-challenges

Voting for round 1 is Now Open

Could the monthly Great Wall Of Fame entry open , possibly be pinned to the top of the forum each month so members will know it’s open for entries ? I’ve never run a forum before ( but have been a moderator on a few) so wonder if it is possible to do this ? I know a lot of forums have “pinned posts” which always appear first in the list of posts :wink::wink:

“Oy! Post some entries you lazy oiks!”

“Nooooo! Not those entries!”
