Does anyone have fond memories of the board weekly/monthly contest? Does anyone want to post some screenshots or favorite memories? I won once, back on April 26, 2010 - thank you FatherMushroom! and thanks be to thee G-Dawg for DVDs m(-_-)m  My favorite contests were caption contests - I will post some screen shots in a later post. Back around 5-6 years ago, BD2H (busdrivertohell) ran a series of hilarious contests using some image modification websites like, "Make a church sign" "Make a cash register receipt" "Make a warning sign" - Some of BD2H's contests had pages and pages - ridiculously long numbers of entries. Warning Signs (Warning don't feed humanoid woman.)   ( Man wanted in disappearance of two boys.) Cash Register Receipts
 I made one receipt for Clay and Lar's Flesh Barn - spattered with blood - I lost the image over the years. |

Hee... that's hilarious.
I do miss the contests sometimes. I ran one once that was pretty much just a "name from a hat" style victory that requested people do something creative. At the end of the contest, I pulled a name, but then a few people were surprised that I wasn't judging the entries per se so much as randomly selecting one after all the work some of them had put into it. I felt bad about that when I realized the confusion.

Ahhhh yes... the contests. I might have to dig out the shovel and find some to screencap.
I'm gonna toot my own horn on this one, but the warning sign generator brought out a ton of hilarious (and quite creative) entries. I'm glad I had help judging them.
The photo caption contests brought out quite a bit of hilarity, too.

"Someone a year ago or so had some hilarious Time of the Apes screenshots as a caption contest:" That was me. During that time someone on Dailymotion had episodes of the show that time of the apes got turned into. I took pics of the funny stuff that didn't make the cut for the american movie and used that for a contest(they were also used here z10.invisionfree.com/MST3K_Cheesearama/index.php?showtopic=383&st=15 where i did recpas on some of those episodes). If the contests were still going I would have done a similar thing with the Devil's Gift and use pics of stuff that didn't make the cut for Merlin's Shop(since Devil's Gift was the original toy monkey film) . |

If there is enough interest I'll be glad to provide prizes again. Is there?

I'd be interested personally, though since I'm a Poobah I eventually felt like I shouldn't participate in them even though I don't recall a specific contest rule against it. So... my vote for them coming back probably shouldn't be counted.  |

thanks for the honor. I just took some pics from that movie. Not taking the chance if any video of the movie gets taken down or anything like that
