Preserved Topic: BIG SIG APPROACHING FAQ

We now have a shiny new FAQ.

There is a section on the sig contest here:
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=45

Have fun.

We will now be hosting some images locally and so currently this means we'll be looking to host past winners of the sig contest but only with the creators permission so if that includes you then either drop a note in here saying it is OK and if the image still isn't linked to from one of the old sig contest threads:
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=46

then drop a link to it here and we'll sort it out.

Wanna host it locally? Sure.

DG: Cheers. I've updated the Oct 2001 FAQ entry:
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=102

Anyone else?

Go for it.

InSiDeR: Thanks but we aren't looking for suggestions just specific permission to host the winning sigs locally.

krets: Thanks (great sig by the way) - May 2001 updated:
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=347

Any other winners?

I noticed that. I'm glad we didn't crash something. :whew:

wj: Doesn't seem to be broken (~prods FAQ with stick~) I just replaced your link with the local version image.

Anyone else? 3 down 12 to go....

From the August 2001 contest (siggie for another inmate)

Local hosting would be nice. I'd probably shift my domain soon.

No emps you misunderstood me, the thread where lucid asked mahjqa about his fire techniqe and I ended up making this sig

ehmm I think you misunderstood Emps, insider..

Emps was looking for the winning entries in the monthly sig competitions, and wanted to ask permission of the creators first.

Do you just want winners or do you want runners up too?

Nimraw: Got it and uploaded it in the thread for that sig contest (there don't appear to be any records of this though - anyone know better):
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=541

InSiDeR: You are correct (nurse - four inmates have just fainted in here and I don't think its SB's underwear). I made the request for people's permission to move their mini-tutorials into the FAQ but, of course, mahjqa's mini-tutorial was actually done in here - good catch on that one.

SB: I am currently seeking just the winners but there isn't (and never has been) any reason runners up shouldn't add their sigs to the appropriate sig contest thread so if you want to then do so (you've got some good placings with some nice sigs so why not?). In the same vein if people want to add their entries (or thumbnails and links) to the RP then that seems like a good idea and they should go and do that. As I've said before there is no reason to ask for permission - if you see something that needs doing (and, importantly, the information you are adding is accurate) then go and do it. I can do bits and pieces but I can't do everything

What?! The "Sig Bashing" Comp is gone? ("...no records of this sig contest remain...") That was one of the best comps. Cryin' shame.

wj: When I drew up that bit of the FAQ I did have a god look around and I couldn't find quite a few sig contests and only bits of some others (all the RPs are there though). These are the ones I have found anything for:

â?¢May 2001 (Circus)
â?¢June 2001 (Red X)
â?¢October 2001 (Godzilla)
â?¢November 2001 (Architecture)
â?¢December 2001 (Out of this World)
â?¢January 2002 (Wheels)
â?¢February 2002 (Video Games)
â?¢March 2002 (Nature)
â?¢April 2002 (Sports)
â?¢May 2002 (Household Appliances)
â?¢June 2002 (Torture/Therapy)

but if anyone can find any of the missing bits then feel free to add them (I may have been looking in the wrong places or using the wrong terms). Quite a bit of the Asylum's history is missing and so one of the aims of the FAQ is try and claw some it back (e.g. by getting some of the missing competitions winning sigs) and make it accessible to everyone.

They`re all yours.

BTW..
All the links to Sig comp threads in the FAQ take me to the Asylum search engine. (?)

hi,
i dont know if this url helps: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Archives/Archive-000009/HTML/20020601-14-000829.html
but there it is.

i would also suggest running the forum URLs through archives.org, and maybe you can find something there - if you're supah-keen.
(i would, but i don't have access to it here at work. going through archives are soo cool!)

hmm strange.

That competition theme was Taxons idea.

My theme for September were Cartoons and Moaiz won it using his "Pixel Pimp"

db: Thanks I've added them here:
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=103

and here:
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=552

I presume the broken links are due to the archiving pixie having swept through (March 2002 - October 2001 have clearly been archived) but I'll dig them out later and change the links. It would be handy if however archived things let us know so we can change the links

reitsma: Thanks for that the link was broken too. Good idea about using archives.org - I'm not supah keen at the moment and will work on getting the links fixed. If someone does go through there looking for the old threads then remember that some of them (I believe) were over at ozones.com (weren't some lost in the move?).

Nimraw: Isn't that what it says or have I misunderstood?:

quote:

---

aug01: taxon (buddy) -> nimraw
sept01: nimraw (cartoon) -> moaiz

---

[edit: OK all links now point to the archived versions and I've archived the April 2002 competition. reitsma - great suggestion there is some great stuff there: http://web.archive.org/web/20010421211952/www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum14/HTML/000355.html
thanks for that]

A quick question - is this one of the threads related to the Buddy sig competition?:
http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Archives/Archive-000005/HTML/20001112-14-000002.html

[edit: Older inmates may have more luck tracking down the older posts but the only sig contest I can find was the banner one - anyway I've added the links to the Internet Archive here: http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=46
if anyone fancies having a nose around and seeing what they can turn up - it is interesting nosing around and seeing that things never change]

OK thanks to vp I have now updated 'Sports':
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=108

and 'Out of This World':
http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=104

which narrows the list down to:

mar01: bunchapixels (pool) -> mahjqa
jun01: kretsminky (red-x) -> eyezaer
jul01: eyezaer (happy) -> taxon
sept01: nimraw (cartoon) -> moaiz
feb02: warjournal (videogames) -> massacre
mar02: massacre (nature) -> wakkos
may02 vogonpoet(appliances) -> suho1004

Emps

Sorry emps, but that thread wasn't the buddy comp, but an even earlier experiment.

Someone whipped up a randomizer that paired those who signed up to do sigs for each other.
(If I remember things correct, I did a sig for Sloloem, and Weadah did a few for me.)

One of the first threads I was involved in...
*aah, the memories*

Nimraw: Thanks for the clarification - now that sounds interestin

As explained in the PS forum some people have given me permission to host things locally in the FAQ and if you are fine with that idea then you can add your name here (or let me know some other way and I'll add you ):
