July 31, 201410 yr Author Eleven. Which frankly WILL NOT DO. I have had votes from: Danaelanda Rontvia Unovia Pendulous Republic of Nork Seyetana Kylienips Ajanaeda Land of Jack Persephonia Farahtyn Ashton
July 31, 201410 yr Why is this contest flopping so much? :drama: Cassandra I think you need to start harassing people over PM, I like the reloaded series especially as I wasn't around the first time the contest happened.
July 31, 201410 yr Honestly I'm not sure having a separate forum for the spinoffs is that good an idea, I'd bet there are a few people who would vote in this but don't know it's happening as it's not very visible. Perhaps it'd be better if the threads for spinoffs were in the main BJSC forum at least while they're taking place. (Either that or people just don't care much for these early contests)
July 31, 201410 yr There's only 26 songs to vote for, some of which people will know already so it's not like it's a hard task. I like the spinoff forum as a place to have all the spinoffs in easy reach but active contests could be temporarily in the main forum? But yes, harass everyone who took part in this and is still alive and anyone who's shown the slightest bit of interest but hasn't voted yet.
July 31, 201410 yr I shall vote in this tomorrow! I meant to vote in this last week but totally forgot.
July 31, 201410 yr I think Bré is right. There isn't any need for a separate forum for BJSC Spinoffs. Especially when the Central Resources thread finally happens, which will eliminate the need for so many pinned threads (we have 9 pinned threads in the main contest forum which is far too many when they can be condensed into one or two threads). Then once that happens I would suggest pinning all current contests to give them more visibility (which this clearly needs). So if this were the case now then the pinned threads would be Central Resources, Actual BJSC 67 Actual Green Room and Reloaded 3. Would look much neater than the current format. With the Central Resources thread, there would be no need to archive all spin-offs in a separate forum.
August 3, 201410 yr already had two 'is THAT what those songs are!' in 'the riddle' and 'sleeping satellite'. both great songs.

With the Central Resources thread, there would be no need to archive all spin-offs in a separate forum. Central Resources was initially proposed to basically get rid of all the pinned threads, but it's a colossal task as each section needs to be clear and less 'omg there's about 800 long posts in this topic' (I'm having the same problem trying to make the spin-off CRC look pretty). I think inactivity with Reloaded comes down to people not caring for the early contests (plus most of the early contestants not being here doesn't help). The themed spinoffs have been a great success which makes me think it's not the forum itself. I'll see how the next one goes (the host and theme have already been decided - excite yourselves! :o) and I'll review it then. But yeah it might be an idea having Reloaded in the main forum until we get into the err.... better eras.
August 18, 201410 yr can we have Reloaded running alongside Spinoffs in the future? It seems that people care more for spinoffs as they feel more involved in them (I know I'm not the only one[/samsmith])
August 18, 201410 yr But with Spinoffs I have to pick a track and agonise over how it'll do, while Reloaded is HISTORY (and a few ready-made hidden gems I'd never have listened to otherwise). But I'm weird. Normally I'd agree with you on the unfortunately self-centred thing but there's something appealing about these. Main forum could be tried for IV (which shouldn't take too long because it's literally only 20 tracks), perhaps?
