Bang.

[Lacoste.]

I must say the contest isn't popular anymore...

[DynoMite]

i WOULD ENTER BUT 1. i STINK AND 2. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THESE ON GIMP

sry caps lock..

[Neo Matrix]

It seems to be true Lacoste, and it's a big shame. Rounds 8 and 10 had great potential to be better than how the "She/he's hot!" round turned out. Number of entries does seem to rise significantly after VK posts an entry, doesn't it? I wonder what would happen if he got a last minute entry in.

[Scott]

I'd win not.

Seriously, who cares. If the only reason they want to take part is too beat Volant, that's their damn problem. I will happily continue entering into each round.

Hmmm... maybe a penalty is in order to those who are active, but just don't enter?

[CounterBlow]

If you give me a little time, I'll make mine right now. I completley forgot about the contest.

[EDIT]

I don't think a penalty would be such a good idea. Because you'd then have to penalize Volant, as well. Thus making the score the same, just lower in numbers.

Plus, it's not that I don't want to participate. It's that sports have started up, aswell as school. I don't have as much time to make a signature for a contest.

[Scott]

Fair enough. I won't close this until the last possible moment anyway.

Just bare in mind that I'm going by MY timezone. So you've got... 7-odd hours.

[DynoMite]

edited out old image

[Hockeyruler]

does the file have to be in the file size limits for signatures?

[Scott]

Only if you want to use it as a signature.

[Hockeyruler]

My entry:

EDIT: Something messed up the file size...be right back with fix.

[Hockeyruler]

valreki, what is that?

[Aura]

It's a signature that's getting f*cked up on my comp. It says 22k on my computer. 26k when hosted on PB. what the hell?

Now at the filesize limit:

Hockeyruler, was that a "What is that image" question or a "what the hell is that crap" question?

[Hockeyruler]

[DynoMite]

wow Volant that is l33t :omg:

[VolantKnave]

Thanks.

But for some reason, the filesize seems to be at 27 KB, even though I saved it at 25 KB.. Hmm.

[Scott]

I honestly don't care...

So, yeah. Closed. Expect the vote thread up shortly.

[Neo Matrix]

VK... Naruto's name is spelt incorrectly in Japanese... there's no elongating "hyphen" in there. It's just ナルト. What you've got there is Naruuto, which might work for the English pronunciation though...

[VolantKnave]

Haha, okay. I just got it from an online translator. I don't think many other than you will notice/care, so I won't change it right now... :P
I was about to put random kanji there. Misspelling Naruto is better than saying "horse cloud pumpkin", don't you think?

I'll remember it next time.

[Neo Matrix]

Where did you see "horse cloud pumpkin"?

It's ok, I won't hold the mis-spelling against you in the voting. :^:

[VolantKnave]

Where did you see "horse cloud pumpkin"?Nowhere, but if I had chosen to use random kanji, that could've been what I had accidentally chosen. :P

[Neo Matrix]

馬雲南瓜?

That would have been funny. :D

[VolantKnave]

I would most likely have picked something like this:

Now what does that mean?

(We should stop posting in this locked thread. :P :D)

[Scott]

Yes, you should! I didn't lock it for my health you know... :D
