That would be the favicon (favorites icon), correct? I submitted one awhile ago, has my submission missed/ignored? Well, unless if staff is disqualified from the contest, would like to know what's going on w/ this one.

Adri,

Firstly, i did not state that the contests are not open to staff. If its not open to staff, i would have included that under the rules of the contest.

Lastly, i would not be able to count it as a contest with only 1 submission.

Hey arashians,

The new emoticons are up for use. I've also added the prayer emoticon for a special arashian who requested it really long long time ago.

I would also like to announce that for contest #4, shobest is the runner up. As a special token from Arashian.Com, we will be giving her a prize too. Plus, i've added her emoticons in the forum too.

For prizewinners... please refer to my pm and email me the details requested.

Thank you.

Adri,

Firstly, i did not state that the contests are not open to staff. If its not open to staff, i would have included that under the rules of the contest.

Lastly, i would not be able to count it as a contest with only 1 submission.

Because nobody knows how to make a favicon except me, perhaps? That's why there's only one submission? I don't know, I just find it rather ridiculous that you won't even count that one single submission just because there's only one.

I've even included some instructions somewhere in the posts on how to make favicons but it seems that four things may apply as to why I'm the only one who submitted a favicon in that category:

  • No one seems to be interested in entering a favicon contest.
  • No one knows how to make favicons (even if I posted instructions on how to make one).
  • Making favicons seem to take a lot of time (and they do. they take a whole while more than creating GIFs or simple graphics alone).
  • Since I'm the one who posted them, seems many are irritated with me and my posts.

I hoped you'd even consider these factors as to why there was only one submission, and then look in to it further and discuss it with whoever submitted that one single submission and just count it.

Hi Adri,

Precisely because there was only 1 submission, that was why i extended the deadline. But like i said, 1 submission cannot count as a contest! I'm sorry but let me quote out from dictionary: "A contest is an event in which two or more individuals or teams engage in competition against each other, often for a prize or similar incentive."

Even if today it is another fellow arashian who is the only one submitted, i would do the same for her. I am willing to extend the deadline...

I know that you have posted instructions, but it is really beyond my control if someone else would like to participate in this too. If you still find it ridiculous that i cant count a single submission, then none of my explanations worked.

This was meant to be a celebration contest... i have already mailed out 3 of 4 prizes. Chashaopao and i are planning for more. If fellow arashians also cannot accept a single submission cannot be counted as contest like you, then i guess the handful of prizes which we have on hand now shall be kept aside. I don't wanna risk unhappiness between any arashians here. The intention was to share and have a celebration...

Hi Arashians,

Thank you once again for the participation. For the winners, do let me know when you received the prize. I will be mailing out the last prize this week...

Noted that Shobest has recd her CD. Glad she loves it.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank chashaopao for sponsoring the prizes for the contest.  bow3
Though i've paid for the shipping but it wouldnt have been possible without chashaopao's generosity.
Thank you once again...
