Help!
Dear members,
I need your help.
I recently became a co-mod of anything_lims, a LIMS challenge community.
For those not familiar with the term "LIMS", it stands for Last Icon Maker Standing. It's much like a contest, only they're weekly, and instead of voting for what you think is the best icon, you vote for what you think is the worst. Each round, an icon-maker is eliminated, until there's only one left.
I know, I know, it sounds like Survivor, with icons! But really, it isn't. With every "bad quality" vote, voters must provide constructive criticism, and it is always made sure that nothing hurtful or catty is said. (The userinfo of the community probably explains it a bit more clearly.)
Most LIMS challenges center around a certain show, movie, or character - but not this community. This one has, well, everything.
What I need from all of you is to do some of the following things
- Join by clicking here.
- Track by clicking here.
- Vote in the current challenge (a tie-breaker) by clicking here.
- Promote, promote, promote! Promote in your journals, your communities, your userinfo, in sky-writing. This community has the ability to be really excellent, but it will just fizzle out and die if we continue to get four icons per challenge!
Icon-makers, if you want to participate, you'll have to wait for the next round. (Which should be soon). Then a sign up post will be posted, and you can sign up for that round. A good way to know when a sign-up post is to track the community (link for that above), and get notified when a new entry is posted.
For those of you who don't make icons, voting is just as important! You can also track the community, and by voting in each challenge, you provide an essential part of the LIMS - the feedback.
I know no one has ever done something like this in OI, but as we currently have 3,633 (!!) members and nearly as many people watching the community, I think that this is the best thing I can do to make anything_lims flourish.
By taking the community under your wing - either by joining, tracking, voting, entering, promoting, or anything else - you do me a huge favor and make the iconing world better.
So, please, help me. =)
