I like your ideas, however, we can't really say who gets what when they win. They might not get anything but recognition.
But if decent prizes are up for grabs, the mods would feel obliged to smite the spammers and whatnot with prejudice they show nowhere else. Use a bigger BanHammer in the Gallery, if you will.

I see your point, but what I meant is that, who would be giving away the free items? Bungie might not want to do that, and if that's the case, then who? Tha's all I meant. You do have a very good point though, which you might wanna add to your original post to make it more clear.

I just think it would be better to have all fan-made movies, videos, and music in one place not only to make it easier to find and discuss, but to keep it out of all the other forums since it is a bit off topic.

Ideas for contests:
- Wallpaper of the Week/month
- Signature of the Week/month
- Best Montage of the Week/Month
- Halo Trailer Contests
- Bungie General Trailer Contests

And a sticky for the Hall of Fame, where all these winning peices are placed to be recognized.

I think the 7th column page should be used for the things mentioned above. Right now their is nothing interesting or interactive on the page.

Maybe renaming the gallery and making it the 7th column thread: For fan art and video submissions as well as fan fics and community spotlight threads. The 7th Column has needed an upgrade and revamping it and the gallery will help out with more community interaction.

A number of other members and I have more ideas on how to utilize this in the group: The Seventh Column Project

Why would Bungie not want to give out free swag? It'd be a great PR boost. Not that they need it, mind you. But any publicity is good publicity; and good publicity is great!

About 6-12 months after Halo 3, it would be cool if the gallery had a film festival of the best films people have made on Halo 3.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I would like to see the Gallery reborn. I would be willing to help JAF in some fashion to revive it. Oh and no I would not put up nekkid pics of stosh. I am greedy and don't want others to see.

I would love to help if you guys need some. I know it is probably enough already with the Halo 3 forum as it usually is so overburdening the moderators is not my intention. I just feel that the Gallery has great potential, potential that is just not being used. We could have a large area for the artistic side of the community to get together and discuss each other's work. Places where fan art is easily accessible, such as wallpapers, userbars, msn/windows live icons. I think that the gallery really could turn out great, and it most likely won't be spammed.

If you tell me, "Make a group then". I have tried, twice, to make a group dedicated to this part of the community. And with the way things are right now, it is very hard to recruit unless you PM members. I even started a contest and was willing to buy someone a custom 360 skin if they won, and I got about 1 entry. My news submission never made it to the community page, and the Classifieds is just silent noise.

The Gallery would be the best bet, imo, for a great place to have everyone interact in an easy to reach area.

I don't see why it all have to be contests though. Contests usually require prices, and I doubt there can be for every contest.

One way to make things work a little easier is to make monthly threads (like KP did); a new fan art/video(?)/etc thread (one for each) once a month, after the month is over, the old gets locked and a new one arises, makes things a bit easier to moderate, me thinks.

Yeah sometimes I see a little too much competition on these forums. It is like everything has to be a competition. It promotes things. But people can sometimes out of hand on here when it comes to competition sometimes. I like just doing stuff for fun sometimes.

about 200 of those posts ended up being spam :). And just because i won does not mean I liked the game. Are you in Webcam TV?? I have a review of the game (I would post it here. But i want to get some people to give feedback to MrHand). I did not think it was a good one. I only one the game because I had no choice but to play dirty. The way the rules were set up it made people copy each others answers. And then people started using the p-m system just so we could not copy. I think you were the only one to play fair lol.

Yay! But can the Gallery also be used for things that are not just caption contests? I was pleasantly astonished at the artistic abilities of the Bungie Community when the Gallery used to hold fan art contests as well.

Awesome.

BTW, you need a special title or font. I almost skipped over you while looking that this thread. Go beat up Achronos for something. :P

Even if it will be "used" again after launch, it is still only for the caption contests. I want the fan art submissions to come back, and even have some fun contests for wallpapers, even a wallpaper stickies for fan made wallpapers that will allow people to easily browse them.

If needed, I could take PM'ed submissions of fan wallpapers and make a DevArt account dedicated to them. You could then link to the account in a sticky.

I also feel there could be alot of member run contests that could be of benefit to the community, as well as art talk and critiques that could go on there. There is so much potential there how can we waste it so readily?
