    Hello there, it is I ♥ Sky.

    Yeah... umm sorry for the delay in judging guys, I had to drop out due to a full time job and I would love to have actually done the judging, but I think it's a little late for that now, but oh well.

    Anyho, most of the delays have been partly cos of me, so feel free to throw a rock or two next time you see me lurking, but if you're reading this Frozzy, I'm able to help with playing, just message me a time and a date (preferably the weekend) and I'll see what I can do.

    KTHXBAI♥

    Understood and forgiven, I'm just glad it was because of your job instead of just slacking off. This contest could end somewhere near New Year's Eve for all I care.

    Coming from a recently laid off worker, stick to the full time job Sky. Making that cash is pretty important my friend :)

    This contest has been one of the highlights of being a Forge Hub member for me personally. Thanks again for organizing it guys. Looking forward to the results!

    Try not to go too far off topic here guys, we don't want the thread to be locked.

    I had to quit my job cos I had to move away to University, and I still wont have time because of all the sex I'll be having.

    Back on Topic quickly.

    Thanks very much Tallt. It was fun organising it even though we're all a bunch of dis-organised chickens running around with our heads in a cheese grater, and I hope it has inspired you to stay and forge for many more years.

    These contests are a one time thing and most of the time they require the map to be made specifically for the contest. Usually every contest is based on something different to encourage creativity. We currently have a Coliseum wall contest if you would like to take part in that.

    Contest is cancelled. I'm too busy and have lost interest in playing Halo anyways. Sorry. I have also lost interest in this site. I might lurk and troll every now and then, but this is as good a time as any to say goodbye and thanks for nothing.

    I dont mind so much that you are done here or the contest is cancelled, but its the fact that you built this all up and so many put their work into it that I dont care for. If you dont have time I understand, but you should have considered the amount you did have before you started this. I understand that some unexpected factors may have come up and hell, I could care less about the prizes, I just would like to see some sort of conclusion come of all this rather than your "im done" speech, and that last "thanks for nothing" doesnt sit too well with me either personally. But if hats the way it is, then so be it, I just felt I should put my thoughts out there.

    :surprise:mg: Really!? :surprise:mg:

    Maybe someone else could be the lead of the contest. That really is BS though. This contest was big too. I truthfully think it's rotten if you just bail out on a contest that everyone is waiting for the results of. I know you may be busy, but pass it onto someone else at least​

    No, I thought this might get some conversation going on this contest again since the thread just kinda stopped.

    Sad to see this contest just left hanging out there. I really didn't care so much if I won anything, I just know a lot of people enjoyed participating and were looking forward to the results. I guess this kind of thing can happen with unofficial contests. Perhaps to wrap it up, the judges could put a poll thread out there or something with a dead line and just let the community decide the winners with a vote. Not my favorite outcome, but I think that would be better than just walking away after so much has gone into this.

    Another thing that saddens me is this will discourage people from participating in future contests for fear that their hard work will just be left by the wayside. I think some really great maps were created from this contest and I want to thank all of those who participated. I personally have enjoyed browsing the maps you submitted.

    I hope the judges will reconsider this decision out of respect for those who promoted the contest and worked so hard to contribute.

    He made his choice. If Frozen decides he wants to pass on the ownership of this contest, he can message me or another mod.

    Until then, LOCKED.
