Long Hair, I like the first idea, but honestly I would just play it safe and ask the OP before you do anything.

For your second idea, I like how you want to get more players involved, but I HATE the idea of making a signature with links on it. They are pretty obnoxious and really don't serve others much use. I don't really think it will help to bring in new artists at all.

Maybe that would be for the best given how many people have entered already.

Good point about asking the OP. He didn't own the original Bored? Draw #ere thread but since he's the one who reposted it this time, it would be good to see what he thinks.

And I forgot that there's been some controversy about using links in signatures O_o . It didn't even occur to me.

Thanks for letting me know what you think.

I have a couple ideas for this thread and wanted to know what you all think.

1) I was thinking of deleting my flower on the first page and replacing it with two sections:
Contest winning pictures - links to contest winning pictures with winner's permission
Recommended viewing - links to really good pictures with artist's permission


I think that adding a "Recommended Viewing" piece on your first post is a great idea, yes it would give copiers a direct link to great pictures, but those pictures would be made by a good artist thus should have a signature in it. Also, because the ASCII Art would be linked everyone that came into the stick would see it, this includes people that don't copy and would recognise the work elsewhere.

2) I'm not really much into signatures but if it's allowed, I might use a signature with "Bored? Draw #ere! " in it to get people in from other sections. Think it would bring in some new artists, or just spam/copiers?


Again, good idea. Yes we will get people in that will copy but that's just the nature of the beast. People will come in and try their hand at creating ASCII Art and others will come in the see the talent.

So, if you want to edit your first post into a list of great artworks you can, I think it's a great idea. But ultimately it's your decision as it's yours to upkeep. ;)

And as for competitions, go ahead! It's what used to happen in the good old days.


I originally intended on hosting the Art competition here. I like it having its own thread though now that it's been developed a little bit. Anyways, it wouldn't be hard to just link the competition in her post still.
