At this rate it looks like amputate your head is going to hold the records for most post and longest thread on GFY.

Hey Guys.
I was emailed a link to this site today while this thread was still 4 pages. I had to sign up, and wait for my account to be activated. Geez, you are up to 8 pages now...

I want in this contest.
Can someone add me to the list. ?

Sure, why the hell not...count me in

Amputate Your Head

you're in.

Siren

OK. I have been reading this thread, and one thing that has me worried.

This is supposed to be a week thing:
One week one tour.

I am willing to bet there are a few that have started this tour today..How will you be sure everyone starts at the same point..let alone on an even playfeild? This is a very good argument for having everyone use the same sets.

Post the zip file when the contest commences, and that is the first time anyone sees it.
It is real life, and evens the play feild.

You can check the time stamp on images. Yes, you could just re-edit everything, but I really don't think anyone is going to do that. Even if someone does start today, it doesn't mean anything. A week is plenty of time. Time isn't the edge here, it's talent. If people want to cheat so be it, you can't stop them, but the whole point of this is just to have some fun and show off some designs. I think most everyone is looking at it that way.

Amputate Your Head

very good point, and also an excellent solution. But it also makes things more complicated. 2 things that would need to go along with that to make that happen...

1. The niches would have to be preset. No question about it. Can be 5 niches to choose from.... 3.... or 1..... whatever. But there would have to be content for however many niches there's gonna be, because you can't do a teen tour with fetish content. Know what I mean?

2. This also means that everyone will have to use the same content sets.... (which is why 4 or 5 or 6 different niches to choose from would be nice) and that means we need a content provider to sponsor this thing and provide the sets that are to be used in the tours. Any content providers out there wanna step up to this? If there are multiple content providers that are willing to do this, we could have the 5 or so niches, and have the providers sponsor one niche each. If you choose to do that niche, you use the content assigned to it.

if this is something that works for everyone, hey.... I'm flexible.... I'd do it this way too. Let your thoughts on this be known.... and especially the content providers.... because if we don't get them, we can't do it this way. If they're willing, then we need to start choosing the niches.

Amputate Your Head

I'm on the same brainwave with Houdini there.... I actually kind of expected that some people would take advantage of the extra time and get started early..... (actually I encouraged it) but like he said.... it really doesn't matter. A week is plenty of time...

Amputate Your Head

I actually don't like the preset content set idea too much I think..... it severely limits the creativity process by not even being able to choose what you wanna use... let's scrap that idea and stick with the original plan..... too many restrictions and rules are gonna make this un-fun.

Siren

ok. I am still in.
But I have to warn you, I am going to do my damndest to kick all of your asses. Nothing personal. well, not yet, anyways

That's good. A competition where everyone was trying to come in second would suck.

bhutocracy

it's not as if a lack of content is going to stop people from starting...

Amputate Your Head

Here is an excellent idea on what to do with the tours after it's over that was just emailed to me:

The top three prize sponsors should receive the top three tours.

Sponsor donating the 1st place prize gets the 1st place tour.
2nd place prize sponsor gets the 2nd place tour.
3rd place prize sponsor gets the 3rd place tour.

this sounds workable to me.... except.... there's gonna be multiple prizes for each place, but only one tour for each place.

needs some refinement..... suggestions?

bhutocracy

and only registered GFY members can vote so people can't tell their mates to do it...

FATPad

Get a booby prize.

I'll enter and fight for that.

I MADE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! i can post now that only took a day to approve me but i'm here now so lets talk about the poll system

Amputate Your Head

talk to JPFDude..... he's the nerd..... I mean techie.

AdultWebGraphics

If we do the free for all way then for me it will cause a problem because one of my clients is sponsoring me by giving me all the content and the domain name and in return they keep the tour.

How are we going to handle this if its happens to others?

Amputate Your Head

good point..... hadn't considered that.


hmmmm...... maybe that idea of giving them away isn't gonna work then.

bhutocracy

it goes on to the next highest voted that isn't sponsored?

BadBoyBill4281

Hey Amp i have been following this thing since before tylo posted the SPAM for aeoln.com which is what started all this and i been tryin to set this poll thing up since the word contest came out of your mouth and even more so when the other dude got the GFYcontest domain i'm just wondering if we are going to do this thing lets have all the designers sign up thru a database (which i'll build and work with the other Techie) that way we have all the ppl who are going to do this thing

have them pick from 1-6 sets of content (if we get them) and they will have access to that content june 1st no sooner not a good idea to let anyone get a head start some ppl are faster then others but come on 2 weeks head start is way to long and will cause to many probs with timestamps and stuff.

with that said amp hit me up on ICQ 128496425 same goes for the other techie dude hit me up so we can get this back-end going for this thing and figure out the bugs

Amputate Your Head

well, it was just a suggestion..... but I can see why there could be problems if a tour is promised to a sponsor beforehand....

but JPFDude is working on everything and keeping an eye on this thread, so we should know alot more tomorrow sometime..... for the most part, everything is pretty much already worked out..... and what I don't have answers to, he does..... so, don't stress over anything yet..... this will all make more sense soon. And then if there's some sort of problem with something, we've got time to get it all ironed out smooth.

BadBoyBill4281

sweet well anywho i'm just wondering if need to use aepolls.com or not if not i'm gonna throw a temp page back up for the site it's part of the AENETWORK just thought we could use the domain cause it's simply and it's for polls and the DB is there so you guys let me know

- I would prefer a select few judges from the industry rather than everyone being allowed to vote. Firstly it increases the chance of cheating, secondly most people here have almost no experience with the adult biz - they're just newbies making galleries. There's no voting system that cannot be cheated if its open for all - IPs cookies can all be spoofed.

There was a competition on the AWI board for their logo with IP loggings and cookies, and someone got his logo right on top by voting multiple times and then admitted he did it too.

- Also, domain and content of our own choosing.

- My vote on flash is to allow it.

- And if people wnt to start designing now, so be it! We get better designs and stiffer competition that-a-way! It's just that there might be last minute rule changes (when the competition officially opens) that might just scrap the earlybird tours ;)

FATPad

Is there any way to restrict the voting to people registered in April or before?

thats a very good idea.. i was going to say even if we restricted it to GFY'ers people would just register multiple monikers on may 29th

FATPad

Ehh fuck it. I'm in. This'll be fun even if I blow chunks.

heres the poll system i have set up now and how it works just noone is getting back to me on how or what they think we should change you name it i can change it on it you want tight security you got it you want ip,email,cookie and reg for each vote to count so they can't be counted again done so heres the way i have it set up now but we have to get ahold of JPYdude who has the GFYcontest domain and have him hook up with me if he's any kinda strong programmer we can make the 2 sites GFYcontest and aepolls.com work together so here it is



anyone who has better idea or thinks somethign needs added please tell me IQC #128496425

Who did the flash banner for bigplayers.com ?? Is he in the competition?

Hypo

I dont think there's any way to stop cheating on a voting script, even if you include emails, registration, cookies and IPs.

Restricting voting to people registered on or before December 2001 seems a better idea to me so we have people with some experience voting.

bhutocracy

flash isn't part of the competition

BadBoyBill4281

ok so as the admin on aepolls.com i'll write a script to check their GFY.com profile and check their join date and if it's before a certain date they can't vote good enough problem solved????

someone's always going to be able to rig it unless theres a "three wise men/women" panel of judges.. even if it's pre dec2001'ers you could round up a few old GFY mates on icq and get them to vote..

a few impartial voters sounds the best to me.. with a public poll system to declare the "popular choice"..
but even then. only 3 people mightn't be a broad enough range of tastes to be fair to everyone.... i don't mind either way.. and i don't want to get too finnicky over voting.. if someone wants to cheat.. whatever.. i don't understand that mentality.. anyone actually good enough to win isn't going to need it, so you'd soon know if a crappy design was beating killer ones that something was amiss.. it's about exposure and your art anyway.

Tylo

Man this thing is getting big.
Good luck to all.
I cant weight to see the competitions crazy art!!

amp had some good suggestions before on judges who were pretty impartial..
but as i said earlier i don't mind either way.. to have that many eyes go over my work is prize enough for me..

spanky

what the heck... can I get in on this too? somebody has to submit the worst site, might as well be me

cheers
spanky

SpyCam

well, part of you guys are probably waiting for me to participate too... i'm not such a frequent guest on GFY, i read it sometimes. so this is why i din't post here before....

You guys will probably have fun doing the demo tours, but not me, i have orders and customers are waiting for their sites designed... everything is about time - i have no time for that...

i don't count me as good designer or skilled one.... i just do what i do.... being an adult web site designer does not mean that i can do paysite designs or i do very good ones... but it counts only, when i'm able to sell my designs - i mean when i get somebody to pay me for designing - to do business

i like to design sites, but it's not fun for me - it's business
i'm not scarried or so to participate, i explained why already...

So i wish good luck for all the designers and if somebody needs my opinion on something - you know how to find me...

OH, and btw, if you would really like to make a fair competition, you should tell 1 domain name and the same sets of pics for all the members of this fun and see who has the best solution using the same shit as others - that's the most important thing.... would you vote impartial if you see 2 tours of the same level, but one contains good looking chick and other - gays (and you're not a gay site lover). hell no! so the models will make you decide which one you like the best.......

my pleasure

BadBoyBill4281

spy has a very good point say you use candid content and someone likes them better then matrix but the design is what we are after NOT THE MODELS!!!!

so lets all make a choice here and now and say one set of content for all to use grab free content from all the BIG content providers and set a page up with it on it and call it a day and say you have to use this content to be in the thing everythign else goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And last but not least GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!

Dammit, I lost my login info and had to create another name... the big two posts I'd had originally were *such* a painful birth, I hate to lose them... haha

However, I'd like to enter this design thing, too. Am I supposed to do it this way still?

I've also got some new, exclusive feeds that are out of production (complete) but haven't actually begun being promoted yet that I'd like to donate 3 months access to as a lower-level prize...maybe like fourth, something like that. One minute RealPlayer clips, categorized and ripped for high-quality broadband streaming, and also to be a short, palatable download for modem users as well. Whoever is in charge of the prizes, please contact me and I'll get you the info... [email protected] or ICQ 37519122 or hell, even AIM if you must, look for baremuffin.

If anybody has any gothic content they'd be willing to trade for contest use only, please hit me up. I don't have any of that, and that's where my heart REALLY is

It's ok to donate a prize and enter, right? If not, I'll have the client I represent on the feeds be the actual 'prize sponsor'; we can probably throw in a dvd package as well.

I've read this whole thread and I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody's work. I see there's questions regarding the usage of Flash, and though I'm staying out of that one, I'd like to know what constitutes a 'weird' plug-in... some of my tours include vid content, and I guess I'd like to know if that's outright banned in this competition, or if it would be okay for a vid-based niche tour...

Also, finally, are there any limitations on categories? I understand lolita, kiddy, beastie, rape, etc. are common sense no-nos, but I was wondering if watersport, fisting, gothic, etc. are all valid choices.

If not, I'm sure I can go with something a little less... specialized

Thanks guys, this should be alot of fun... though looking at Amp's stuff has put the proverbial fear of designing God into my heart...

Take care,
Michelle
