  1. You don't even need an account to upload to imgur! :)

  2. True! If people are posting their pictures to a thread, though, I really hope they are signed in, as else the pictures will get removed after 6 months and that might make some posts difficult to understand!
    Edit: after doing some Googling, it seems this might've been changed, or I was mistaken anyway.
    But it might still be good to upload pictures while signed in, also so you can easily find them later!
  3. That wasn't the problem... you see, my parents don't want me on there, plus I'm probably not old enough to even get an account...
  4. i don't think there is an age limit on signing up for Imgur

  5. I have had some pics on imgur for over 3 years without an account :p

    http://imgur.com/upload
    just use that

    Krysyy, For the voting, Instead of last time, Can we have it setup like so?

    Name - Pic - Vote?

    Instead of;

    Name - Link to pic - Vote?

    As then players can compare them and go from there? Then there can also be better results.

  6. bit late i know :p, but some family protection softwares like mcafee's block imgur as a "pornographic" website for some reason... my parents had that on my computer when i was younger, but it became a pain and i didn't know the password to remove it so i reset my computer without telling em XD

    On topic, when will the winners be announced? :3
  7. I don't think you need to reset your computer to delete a program :p I'm not sure how well they tried to make it reinstall itself, though.
    Or did you not have administrator privileges?

  8. To deactivate or reinstall the program you needed the mcafee password, and i didn't know what it was. So I tried removing it from the control panel, but it still needed the password. Probably could have done something else, but 10 year old me couldn't find any way other than to reset the pc :p

  13. Note: I'm not complaining in any way, please don't see it that way. I'm just stating my opinion, because I feel like it fits here.

    See, I personally don't mind waiting whatsoever. I'll be honest, I'm often slow myself too. :p What matters to me, is just letting people know it'll take some more days or weeks or months. If you'd tell me it'd take another 4 months, for whatever reason, I'd say "okay, no problem, thanks for telling us. :)". Even if that deadline was later on extended, it would still be okay. But if nothing is told, I personally think some sort of weird thoughts and feelings about the subject will arise, like the subject doesn't get attention put into.

    So yeah. To me, "communication" is key.

    Either way, I look forward to seeing what EMC wallpapers people have made, whether it's today, in a week, or in three months - I still look forward to it. :)

  14. i don't mind waiting either, but absolutely nothing has been said about why it is taking so long or when the next step was even supposed to start. lol

  15. I agree with you. The contest ended and no more notice. Just waiting.. D= It makes me more nervous, if the 'judges' are taking this long. Maybe the graphics are SO good, it takes 1 month to judge them. xD

  16. I apologize for the lack of response. Staff have been quite busy in the background as of late and prepping for Minecon. Voting will begin with the News going out before this Friday.

  17. Perfect! Regarding my post from above, these are exactly the things I like to hear. Thanks! :)

  18. I also kind of assumed the Data leak probably kept the staff busier than usual. I already assumed the staff was tied up with other issues. I am interested to see the entries as well, but learning about that let me have patience to wait until they had the time available to get back around to dealing with this event.
