As a way of saying a little thank you..

[Shockwave]

Every January, for as long back as I can remember (and the dbf communtiy has been alive since 2003, I was involved with another community before that), the board goes dead. It happens each year without fail. I know that it's coming but it never fails to make me nervous..

That's why I am more than happy that you guys are supporting the scroll challenge.
The scroll challenge was meant to be a nice little opening challenge into 2007, the idea to make a scroll challenge belongs to Wham.

Now I am looking at the entries and feeling really happy. So...

After this challenge there is going to be another one, it is going to be very different, quite a test in fact and we'll see lots of different sorts of entries.

If you were here last October,  you will remember the halloween challenge. I put up a prize fund of Ã,£100.
This was a little bit of a mistake because only one of the top 3 winners actually claimed their prize, the whole prize fund went to one person in the end.

So with this in mind I thought that maybe people feel bad about taking money as a prize, so the next comp (not the scroll one) is also going to have a prize. The prize will only be awarded to the top entry, of course there will be the usual Karma / post count / sig etc.. But this next timee I will offer an Amazon gift voucher instead. this means that you will be able to buy whatever you want from Amazon, not sure about the value of the voucher yet, it needs to be enough to be worth having, but not so much that people feel bad about taking it.

Anyway, keep on with the entries for the scroll comp and thank you very very much for making this place so cool!

Looking forward to it already!

I once had the idea of giving away a kilo of your favourite sweets from A Quarter Of.  It sounded like a good idea, so that was the prize I offered, until I realised how would parents feel if a parcel of sweets turned up for their child from a strange man on the internet!  So I had to scrap that idea!

Yeah, shame about that one!

I'm not sure if I could claim Ã,£100 from you shockie, it would definatly be one of those internal moral dilemma thingies, but an amazon voucher sounds cool.
