Here are the rules for nominations.

• You may nominate 1 to 3 of your favorite banners.
• Regardless of which of the three is your favorite they will be rated equally, so don't nominate a banner unless you want it to compete with your favorite in the next round. Remember that while 3 is the maximum number of banners you may nominate, you do not have to nominate that many.
• Do not confuse the voting by changing your nominations or attempting to vote multiple times. If I get confused by you, I will ignore all of your nominations.
• Please identify your nomination by name and number. For example you may choose:
  Oneesama-41
  wao-54
  (This is just an example of the format I expect to see. These are not my actual nominations. )
• If you wish to add the image of the banner you are nominating so that other people can see your choice without having to refer back to the first post, that is wonderful, but please include the number so I don't have to refer back here and search for it. It would also be nice to include the artist's name, but number is essential! There are going to be a lot of nominations so please make it easy on me.
• You have until 20:00:00 Thu Sep 16 2004 in GMT to nominate your favorite banner.
  At that time I am going to lock this thread. Check Time Zone Converter for information on what time this is near you. (In EST this is 4pm Thurday afternoon.)
  Shortly after that I am going to create the final voting thread.
• The 12 most popular banners are going to be voted on in a simple poll that ends on September 21st, the day before the first of Autumn.

PS Nominating yourself is rather tacky, but not illegal. If you really think that yours is the best then go for it, but hopefully you'll nominate someone else also.

MidoriShinobi - 35


OMchan - 38


Oh hell, I'm just going to nominate myself because i'm a asshole like that.

Aahhsin - 02


Guess I'll like those 3 in the next round NSW.
Ok I'm done editing my post like 10000 times.

Didn't realize you need the banner's picture.

[NoSanninWa]

Just finished checking through filesizes (saved all 57 entires on my PC and sorted by filesize) and I discovered that only 36 of the banners are within the legal limit! Of the remainder only a few are dramatically oversized. I recompressed the two worst offenders (100 KB and 44 KB) down to size so we can see what their quality really is like. The remainder are either close enough that we can live with the difference or else I'll worry about compressing their jpgs if they win.

If anyone wants to compress their own jpg then send me your recompressed entry.

Here are my nominations:

ChibiDusk - 09


MidoriShinobi - 35


I'll save my third for later because I don't know who else to nominate right now.

I just got this very disturbing PM:

I admit that I missed it... somehow. I'd complain that Green² should have checked the nominations thread except that it was too close to the deadline for that to be a valid complaint.

* NoSanninWa sighs in exasperation

This banner is now added... out of numerical sequence. Gek-blasted-frikazet!
