Hey....anyone...is the submission for entries closed? I clicked on it and I get "error--cannot whatever because the default email client is not installed" Does this mean it is closed or is it just my computer???? And then what???

Well I don't know if I am correct or not, but I have yet to see a place to vote as we were told (was gonna be like "American Idol" I thnk?), or any reasons given why there has been nothing done on it. I am only surmizing.......(as usual).

All I saw was a post that said something like they didn't want anything to be about the garden reference.............

Go figure......... Maybe my ramblings and you bumping the thread will get them off their pattuties? (is that a word)

I think we should set a stop time for the contest. We are still getting a flurry of submissions.

See new thread in a minute...

We've narrowed down the selections and will be posting a poll today or tomorrow.

We have just enough taglines to run one poll. The final decision will be made by the FG staff.

Stay tuned!

As you know, ForumGarden is an engaging, eclectic, interesting, funny, wide-ranging site. There's a million things to talk about, and a million opinions behind the talk.

We need a brief, pithy, concise 'tag line' to describe the ForumGarden experience. It can be funny, quizzical, offbeat, totally direct, obtuse, obscure, whatever! But most important, it must be brief. We want a tagline that can fit on the front of a baseball cap, or go on a coffee mug without making it look like someone forgot to wash it!

So, our contest: Send us your thoughts for a tagline. Send us one, send us a hundred. The more the merrier!

Once we've accumulated enough entries, we - the head gardeners - will select the top ten very best of those submitted. We'll then go American Idol on you! That's right - we'll post a poll of all the selected entries. Every few days, the tagline that gets the *fewest* votes will go bye-bye - and we'll start a new poll for the remainder.

When all is said and done, you, the gardeners, will have chosen the best tagline for us! And the person whose entry was selected will win $100! That's right! Cash. Good old money, which you can then spend on all the baseball caps, coffee mugs, tote bags, t-shirts, and sweatshirts that will carry your winning logo! :yh_money

So enter early, enter as often as you like. Please keep your tagline to twelve words or less. Yep, it needs to be that short! Also, please don't submit taglines that are already in use by other companies or organizations - that wouldn't help at all! Keep it clean, too, please. This must be for a wide audience.

The fine print: All submissions to ForumGarden become ForumGarden's property. By participating, you release ForumGarden or Smile Internet Networks from any claim to copyright or any other claim regarding the tagline.

The contest starts now! Good luck!

Enter Your Tag-lines Here:

contest@forumgarden.com

Be sure to include your ForumGarden username!

Nearly reported you for spamming he he he....this is a brill idea. I get to ramp up my posts at the same time...

Thinks it's too early to start complaining 'cause no one told me we were having a contest? Probably help if i delete my other posts from this thread though....:-3

:p

Do we need to set up a "things floppy should read" thread for you hehehehehehe

nope - that's one thing that will have to wait for a winner. we don't want this to be a user popularity contest - we want the tags to be judged on their own merit.
