The current background (snow crystals) is a bit old, right? So how about making a better one? :-) We actually want 3 types of backgrounds:
1) Quiet and simple (like what we had)
2) Bit busier, but still doesn't attract all the attention
3) Very busy, lots of contrast
We'll make a little button so that everyone can choose the background with which *they* like to browse the site.
Here are the rules:
1. Upload your contribution to GG, preferably the backgrounds category.
2. Include the tag contest2 (this is what we use to find contributions)
3. Try to keep the file size down; if you're making an animated GIF, try to keep the framerate reasonable
That's it! You guys can then vote on the contributions and we'll pick from the highest rated ones.
Update: voting starts at March 15th (or once there are enough uploads to pick from) and ends on March 25 (my birthday :-))
Here's a challenge for all you artists out there: design a 300x250px image that advertises some aspect of GG. It can be your own profile or club, as long as it's creative.
We will run at least 10 of the best contributions in the regular ad boxes, mixed with the normal ads. This should give you some nice traffic.
The dimensions must be 300 by 250 pixels; static format (not animated GIF) is preferred. Total file size should preferably also be small.
UPDATE: this competition is now closed. Contributions that will be used can be found here
Hi everyone! Once again, we were very busy with some RL things. I'll be spending some time the next 2 weeks fixing things on here and on Glig. One of those things will be profile statistics (number of visits). This will be based on a different database architecture (more on that later). If you have any wishes for statistics, just post it here.
Another update: starting today, mods can delete profiles. So if you need a profile deleted, just ask one of them. But before you do, change your description to "being deleted" so that there will be no mistakes. In case a mistake does get made, it's possible to undelete accounts for some months.
Guys! Please welcome our sister site www.glig.com which we JUST launched. You can log in on Glig with your g-g username and password.
Glig is still in beta, which means not everything works yet. However, we hope you enjoy what you see. Please post on the Glig forum if you have feedback!
Things that we'll fix this week: uploading graphics and editing your profile.
