Well, there's a conflict within everything, Rexla. First of all, the gravedigging rule doesn't quite apply to pinned threads. Also, there are a few reasons why the thread should, and shouldn't, be closed. Here's a rundown.

GOOD - Reasons to leave the thread open.
1) People can comment and congratulate people.
2) People can still vote in the thread if they weren't hear for a while.

BAD: - Reasons to close the thread upon having a victor chosen.
1) The Thread has served its purpose, and more than enough votes have been accumulated.
2) Enough "Congratulations" are crossing the brink to become spam. Face it. It's been established, and you gain an extra post count, much like unfelt happy birthday's. (Not to sound like a guy with a heart of stone or anything. )

So it's a fairly interesting point, eh? To close the thread, or to leave it open.

Okay, that's another reason why not to close the thread. .. And Praeth, all my efforts this weekend will be in drawing tiles for Nick. So count me out. Sorry. But I'll see what other people have, I suppose. (Contacting, etc. )

Are we allowed to use screen shots that we've uploaded into the tile/quest/etc. sections? If not, then I'll have to create a yahoo group and upload screenshots there. Is this acceptable?

[Praethus]

You are allowed to use any screenshot. I upload them to PureZC so that the only way they won't work is if the site goes down. You just have to pm/email/post the pic for me.
