    Dosent matter who judges SOTW your still going to get members who disagree with the winners
    and in time those judges will get pissed off and then they will complain right
    viscious circle no matter how its done
    its all based on which sigs the judges like the most 10 judges pic 5 sigs each
    which are in order of 1 - 5
    1st one = 5 points
    2nd = 4 points
    3rd = 3 points
    4th = 2 points
    5th = 1 point
    i think the way the voting is atm is perfectly fine
    its not the problem with the moderators doing and running SOTW we have no problem in doing so its not a burdon and if you guys enjoy it all the better
    the problems arise when all you ever hear is
    omg that sig sucks pick new judges
    wtf is wrong with the winners
    SUCKY winners so and so shoulda won
    again
    personal taste :)

    Couldnt agree more. Good ol days back in January to April were the best times of my graphics stage..now this forum blows.

    BFTP and the rest of the staff, stop taking everything so personally..because some people disagree with you (me being one of them)..no need to have a hissy fit and cry and close it down. let it go, you guys need to grow up on that [/b][/quote]
    You obviously need to reread the first page. Sig of the Week is canceled for many reasons, not because your bitching. We're revamping the entire process, and going to include a public vote. Since staff is voluntary, we're not working on Christmas either.

    Just because you feel fathom is 'superior' to GameRenders, doesn't mean to can disrespect staff. Enjoy the suspension,

    The only thing Fathom is superior at is whining, that and being complete pricks at times. ^_^

    You sir...are a bunch of things I am not allowed to say, since it would be highly inappropriate. However, before you call the staff here at Gamerenders lazy, perhaps you would like to take a look at all the things they do for you without pay, on their own free time.

    Such as busting spammers and scammers so that they cant fill this place with trash and unenjoyable trading of goods. Or perhaps that they keep the peace, and continue to help people, even though most of the times none of you bother to say a simple thank you.

    What about all the new ideas that they help bring to the table. The organization they help with on the forums by making it easier for people like you, to find tutorials and renders and other graphical resources. But they do this all without pay, and in their own free time, so surely, they are quite lazy....

    As for running out of ideas, perhaps you never bothered to look at the some odd 30+ pages long list of ideas for an SoTW. Ideas are plenty. However, its the rude, and obviously thought lacking comments such as the one you so clearly displayed yourself by calling them lazy, that has caused them to stop the SoTW until further notice.

    A little appreciation and a thank you goes a long way, thank you for so kindly demonstrating why they shouldnt be bothered to take their free time to do something for free.

    I have an idea. The staff shouldn't do anything for two weeks, including answering PM's.

    :D

    aight looked at this thread,never said anything till now.

    ok time for my opinion


    PEOPLE stop ----ing bothering them about the SOTW,i mean seriously they cant do it for a couple weeks probably because they got lifes of there own specially considering its winter break and their spending time with there families.THEY do got lifes unlike the rest of u bothering them 24/7 on on the internet.

    o and about that fathom thing,seriously no one can even try and get into it,8/10 threads trying to get in are the mods making fun of and bringing down all these peoples work.They could atleast tell them keep on trying and be nice,but no they say ---- like Wow u suck and quit now.

    see the thing is gamerenders doesnt have people making people feel bad when u post ur work in your stuff,FATHOM does.you have to be a pro just to post ur work,cant even get in FATHOM if ur nice or chat with ur friends.

    o and btw if u check u will see that they posted the winner for this SOTW,and if u check u will see that only after 8 posts or so people are already bitching saying,wow those winners suk,there sigs are nothing special at all and also saying get better judges please.ever think this is why its cancelled?probably didnt.

    why are people arguing over this
    no matter what the reason is
    if they closed due to other people bitching around
    but it could also been cause the mods needed a break since it is a holiday week
    who cares really
    they said SOTW will be back soon
    atleast GR is kind enough to actually put a SOTW for you guys
    and if you guys dont like GR, why are you here
    and also, mods dont worry too much about it really
    let them get aggrivated, not you guys :P
