this bluehost thing looks amazing, whats the reliability on uptime though?

Moderator OS : Windows XP

I just asked my friend who is on it, it's about 99% uptime
happy

Also his site is http://www.imageups.com/
That's so you can see how fast and reliable the hosting is
Plus, it's better than imageshack btw, your images will never be deleted happy

Hmm, I must admit, I liked the blue space stars background, but ahwell.

I think We should have a contest to create a logo for galaxy gui ? This can also involve a lot of people from deviantart.

Another idea i have that can create more attention is that we have like something of the week. For example, icon of the week, so on....

I don't like the idea of the 'of the week' things. I've seen them on other forums, and it's always a bit of a flop - especially on a forum such as GGUI, because it requires people to actually make something, and in 'the GUI business' ( lol

) things aren't really done that quickly. Resulting in dodgy poor quality releases and very few people participating.

Now I'm not totally against the idea of more contests (seeing as we have a whole forum dedicated to it, and very few actual contests), just not weekly ones.

yeah.. maybe a monthly contest that is consistant and they the three week long contests ect here and there

in regard to the logo. We already have one. The Fav icon you see in your browser is it wink

I'm thinking of making another contest with a deviantart subscription
It would have much more organization and a theme (ex most original desktop)

We could try it with this title: Most Original (NON-MAC EMULATION) lol

I think that would be very interesting, as few desktops are noticed that aren't emulating a mac

*Nods*

LOVE that idea, might challenge peoples creativity. But what about people that actually have macs? Will they be able to take part?
