| Hello! | |
Hello, small update from me: a lot has been going on that had to be sorted, so that's why we haven't had many recent updates. I hope that things will go better from here on and we can give GG some of love it deserves!
So... how've you guys been doing?? | | |

| Mini challenge #3! | | |
Here's a new mini contest: design a GG greeting card to express good wishes to all. Preferable format: 300 by 250 pixels. Use the tag: contest3. | | |

| Idea for making moderation much faster (please comment!) | |
Just an idea: we can let all users with 1000+ approved graphics vote on the moderation queue. If a graphic is approved by, say, 10 different people, it'll be automatically shown in the public galleries with "pre-mod" status. So mods may still alter it or reject it later on, but you won't have to wait for approvals anymore.
What do you guys think? Is this something that would work for you?
Update: dropped the 1000+ graphics requirement. | | |

|
| Tiny update: you can now set gallery sizes | |
You can now choose how many graphics you see per page in the graphic galleries. You can also adjust it in the URL if you wish.
This it not the world's biggest update, but it should make some people happy :-) | | |

| Mini challenge #2: design the next GG background | |
The current background (snow crystals) is a bit old, right? So how about making a better one? :-) We actually want 3 types of backgrounds:
1) Quiet and simple (like what we had)
2) Bit busier, but still doesn't attract all the attention
3) Very busy, lots of contrast
We'll make a little button so that everyone can choose the background with which *they* like to browse the site.
Here are the rules:
1. Upload your contribution to GG, preferably the backgrounds category.
2. Include the tag contest2 (this is what we use to find contributions)
3. Try to keep the file size down; if you're making an animated GIF, try to keep the framerate reasonable
That's it! You guys can then vote on the contributions and we'll pick from the highest rated ones.
Update: voting starts at March 15th (or once there are enough uploads to pick from) and ends on March 25 (my birthday :-))
Update 2: here's the gallery of contributions
Update 3: Contest is now closed. Changes will be made this weekend. | | |

| Mini challenge: design a 300x250 GG ad | |
Here's a challenge for all you artists out there: design a 300x250px image that advertises some aspect of GG. It can be your own profile or club, as long as it's creative.
We will run at least 10 of the best contributions in the regular ad boxes, mixed with the normal ads. This should give you some nice traffic.
The dimensions must be 300 by 250 pixels; static format (not animated GIF) is preferred. Total file size should preferably also be small.
UPDATE: this competition is now closed. Contributions that will be used can be found here | | |
