[DIS] Haloween Challenge

[DIS] Haloween Challenge

alt.ascii-art · 4 messages · 18 Oct 2003 - 3 Nov 2003
Hi all,

This is a challenge that I hope will get some more people posting to 
rec.arts.ascii as it has gone very quiet of late. The challenge is to 
come up with the best[0], Haloween related, picture. I will anounce the 
winner on 1-Nov.

I can't offer much as a prize accept my congratulations and possibly 
some web space for the winning picture.

(Please remember to change the tag to [PIC] for pictures.)

Just a quick reminder to anyone who ws thinking of submittin a 
picture, the deadlines tomorrow night.

Also I forgot the footnote. It should read:

[0] In my view which probably won't agree with everyone elses.

Many thanks to those of you who entered, the standard was good even 
if the turnout wasn't great. The winner is the following from Bill 
Taylor. My congratulation to him.

I hope to get this up on the website some time soon. Unfortunatly all 
the while I'm at uni I don't have access (I must get round to moving 
it somewhere else soon) so it won't be until early December.

If anyone's got any suggestions for other challenges or anything else 
then please let me know. My current thought is to do something 
similar over Christmas / New Year.

I agree with what those of you who said about pictures from other 
parts of the world. I'm UK based and don't really have the knowledge 
to do anything about it myself but will be happy to listen to advice.

Finally if anyone else is interested in becoming a moderator then 
please mail me. All it involves from a technical point of view is 
sending the odd e-mail to the mod bot when a post needs hand 
moderation. However what we really need is some people who have the 
time and knowledge to promote the group and make sure people are 
aware of its existance. Unfortunatly I don't have time to do that.

Congratulations once again to Bill.
