There is a very strange silence from up above? Art is missing, DPC is crumbling? No SC to give us the lowdown?
DPC has been taken over by aliens and they are using brainwashing tactics to drive us all insane!! |

Well off to bed now - it's 23.15 over here - have set my alarm for 5.45 just in case (would give me an hour for uploading). Perhaps though we'll get the deadline extended. Would make sense to do that regardless of whether or not the problem is sorted by midnight... give this challenge an extra 24 hours? |

If we really have chewed up the server capacity, then you guys will need to think up a program STAT to archive all oldies that did not make it into the top 50, pre 2005..... :-) |

If you have used the back button in your browser to avoid typing everything then it greys out the submit button. You have to start again
Not that it will let you upload but there you go |

except the possible technical reasons there are a lot of possibilities for the stopping:
1) is a joke of late halloween
2) someone have submitted a particulary bad photo and the server is disgusted
3) someone have submitted a photo with lead (Pb) as subject and the server don't undigested lead
4) someone have submitted a photo with a lot of gold pieces for bribe the server

Just want to put my vote in for an extension of a day if that becomes a possibility :) I get my new camera tomorrow and want to enter with a pic I take with that one. |

I think submissions should be held open until the server is fixed but the shots should have been taken in the original date range.

I suppose that sounds fair. |

I was really expecting the deadline to be extended. I've trying to upload all day but am now out to dinner for my wife's bday and won't be back by the current deadline :(

I think an extended deadline would be in order, maybe 24 hours, followed by six days of voting instead of five.

6 days of voting instead of 7 days of voting. That way we can still be doing the next challenge on time and we can trial shorter voting periods.

hey what would be considered a shoehorn in this challege? the description says to be creative, but are people mainly sticking with a bar of silver or something?
maybe this is the wrong thread for this question...
