Tonight's been bad (busy). It's my sister's birthday, so I've been out doing that, and I'm moving back into my dorm tomorrow so I'm packing and such. I've been on, but only sporadically.

Also keep in mind that I only had one shot on Sunday, which came at 8 that night; if I'm going by the rules that means we shouldn't have a contest this week. I got two on Monday, the last of which was only entered two hours ago. I have no problem putting it up now (Tuesday morning for me) but at that point the contest is on my time; I can't drop everything the second the third shot is submitted. I'll get to it sometime in the next couple of hours, but I'm also doing other stuff. I'd love for SotW to get on track again, but that means I three shots every Sunday, not Monday. Part of this can be helped by me posting here more often and asking for shots, which I've noted and will start doing again. However, it's ultimately out of my hands if people just don't enter. I'm not aggravated or frustrated at anyone, but I just want to remind people that you can't expect that late entries will just go through anyway; that's something that I do because I can, not because I feel like I have to.

There's hardly ever a missed SotW because of conflicts on my end. Even on the few weekends where I've forgotten or been unable to post, there just haven't been enough shots to get going. Rest assured that even though I may not post here or reply to PM's, I haven't neglected to check the dropbox.

Having two people run SotW is obviously the best arrangement. I'll work on solving this in one way or another, it's really been too long since I've been posting them exclusively... over a year, in fact.

As for not replying to my PM's and such, sorry, that's my bad. I routinely check, read, and completely forget emails and messages. icon_frown.gif

If I may ask, what does putting up a new SotW require? Isn't it as simple as saving all the entries, uploading them to Pure's photobucket account, posting them in a poll, and closing the old thread? It seems like it should only take five minutes, at the most. Is there more involved to it than that?

There's a little bit more to it than that; mostly behind the scenes stuff, like moving topics in the dropbox and updating the main page... I just timed myself and it took me about ten minutes for three shots, and I moved pretty fast.

Regardless of how long it takes, though, I still got three shots at 10:30 on Monday night, which is about 24 hours late. Once again I have absolutely no problem posting the poll at this time, and I'm not trying to sound like a dick... but that's not my fault if nothing gets posted at that point.

When will the 322 be closed?
Also, when will SoTM go on? Does it go on at the same time as another? It's confusing icon_razz.gif

I entered SotW 323. Assuming I didn't break any rules by using my SR entry again (it's just so damn awesome) hopefully we will have enough shots now...hopefully?

I'll probably enter. I just need some time, and I'll get one in. As it is, I always enter. Most of the time, it's so the contest can get started. But, I might as well enter anyway.

I submitted a shot. There should be enough to post it now, correct?

Hey, Ebola. Give me just fifteen minutes and I'll send something in. I'm about to finish it.

No problem, I'll keep checking the dropbox for the next few minutes.

Yes, more than enough. I'll put them up later in the evening, I've got some driving to do this afternoon.

Have fun driving, Ebola!
