Great job again by ALL!!!

I really like the contests because I appreciate the time, effort, and creativity put into the creations, and because I always get a new wallpaper out of them! :D Your efforts really do bring a bit of joy to those who take the time to view and use them!!!

With that said, I'll tell you how I always vote on these things...

Because I have a very "active" desktop, my wallpaper has to be easy to navigate when I'm looking for files. Many of the creations in this and past contests, (as I mention each time I vote), while attractive as posters, are often "too busy" for me to keep as a desktop wallpaper.

I prefer desktops that convey a great theme, while not overpowering my work space. Because of this, I voted for GREGORY'S. While fitting in the theme elements nicely, it is also subdued enough to work with.

I guess what my constructive advice would be for future wallpaper contests, is for creators to think of the end-user more, and try to leave some more room available for folder icons which will make them more "user-friendly" backgrounds.

With that offered, CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO ALL FOR A FINE JOB!!!

Just my thoughts.... :)

What you said was 100% true- about the great efforts...

Theres so many great ones, that I have a hard time choosing which to use on my desktop. I use the one I voted for in the contest.

When its over, what I do is I save the top three to my HD, in a file. It joins the top three of every other contest. I use that folder as a screensaver (it just displays a random pic every 6 seconds from the folder). It works great, and people are always asking where I bought it :)

I hope to create a zip of the top sixty so far, so that others can do this... but I don't know if I'll have the time. For now, if you check the "Past Contest Winners" thread, you can find links to them...


Anyways, thanks Brer Stitch... Thats what I hoped to accomplish.. there are some great pictures people have made, but they take too much away from the desktop...

Well, I great job! You've gotten, like, 7 votes in the last hour or two... if things keep going like this, you'll have a few hundred :) Well, its too bad you bought one... if they closed the voting on time, you would have been in fourth... then you would have been glad you had it!

Well, its MSUs' birthday, so I'm guessing thats why he hasn't closed it yet... He hasn't been on today yet...

Sorry everyone. I've been super busy lately.

I need to know from everyone who was in the lead LAST NIGHT when voting was supposed to end.

Let me know and I'll list the winners and get a new contest started.

Thanks!:)

Ok, I know the last time I checked, which was the middle of the day on Saturday, it went:

DCA Fan
mkt
Main Street USA


And I'm pretty sure that's the way it was when it was supposed to shut down. So, that's how we'll call the end. Congrats to DCA Fan on an awesome wallpaper, and also for winning the Mission: Space License Plate!!!

Please PM your address to mkt ASAP. Great job everyone. New topic poll for the next contest starts tomorrow!:)


P.S. Thanks for the birthday wishes!

That might be it... that sounds right...

I just seem to think that I havn't gotten any votes since then... but I could be wrong :confused: Also, I remember being one vote behind DCA, too...

Well, it doesn't matter :) And, Zac, Happy Birthday!
