So this community has been pretty dead for quite sometime. I was thinking about deleting it, but before I do, I just wanted to see if there was anyone interested in taking the community over and starting it up again?

If you are, please let me know. If no one responds, then I will officially close this community.

Alright, I know it's been forever since I asked you guys for help to make sure all of you with missing banners got them if you wanted them. I am so sorry for being MIA but college pretty much ate me alive.

Well, there are ten banners that need to be made and [info]lainay, [info]sociologique, and [info]pickypocky volunteered to help make the banners. If you guys are still interested, reply to this post and I'll assign you which banners to make depending on how many you say you have time for.

If there's anyone else who could help out, please let me know.

After this whole missing banner ordeal is done with, then we can decide the fate of the community.

Hey everyone! So from the last post about the missing banners, I determined that eight banners need to be made. [info]lainay said she'd help, but I definitely do not want to dump them all on her. So if one or two more people would volunteer to make banners, it would be very much appreciated. After some people volunteer, I'll tell you guys which ones to make and after they're posted, hopefully we can get this community rolling again.

SO if you can help make banners, please reply to this post!

*blows dust off of community* Hi everyone! I was recently greeted with three comments in my inbox from this community and decided that maybe we can try to get it back on its feet again.

First order of business is banners. I went back and found which weeks never got banners and I NEED all the winners to respond and tell me if you still want a banner. Because if you do, I still would like you to get one. So in that case, I also need to hear if there is anyone interested in making banners for the community, especially from the past bannermakers. If none of the winners respond, then I will assume you no longer care about getting a banner and we can move on and start fresh. So if your username is listed below, please respond and tell me if you would still like a banner. I took off any people who happened to leave the community.

Missing Banners:
Week 98: [info]snm_queen, [info]lainay, [info]spinshadow

Week 103: [info]milkxhake, [info]snm_queen, [info]isghest, [info]kissandcry, [info]_hugznkisses_

Week 104: [info]omfgsiriusly, [info]yulah, [info]sakube_yamu

Week 106: [info]akaich0u, [info]midnitexsonata

Week 107 & 108: [info]tokyoxjapanxfan, [info]pickypocky, [info]milkxhake, [info]in_hyung

After we get this sorted out, I will post a poll to see who is still interested in participating. If there are enough people, I will try to start a new theme, get a new layout, and ask everyone to pimp this like no tomorrow. But we're not there yet. I'd like to take care of banners first.

So please respond to this post if your username is listed above or if you would be willing to make these banners, if anyone does want them.

I am sorry that this community has been left to rot and that the results from weeks 107 & 108 were never posted. At first, I delayed posting them because I was hoping more people would vote. Less than 20 people actually voted, which makes me really sad. And then I just kept forgetting to post the results since the community was so inactive already.

I'm going to post the results but after this, JPop Awards will be taking a hiatus until after Christmas, when most people will be on a break from school and done with final exams and such (since I know so many people are busy now with school stuff). Hopefully more people will be able to submit then. Supposedly many icon award communities are suffering from lack of participation, so if this continues after JPop Awards comes back, then we will consider closing for good.

There are a few weeks of banners that are missing, so bannermakers, if you cannot make the missing banners for whatever reason, please comment on this post and let me know.

Now for the winners. Read more... )

If you have any comments about any of this, please comment on this post.

Thank you all who submitted for your patience as the mods discussed the matter of the state of this community. For weeks 107 and 108, we are going to have a combined voting post. The winners will then be announced as normal. A new theme will then be posted, as normal, and if limited participation continues, we will seriously consider either closing the community or putting it on hiatus. We know people are busy with school and such but out of 200+ members, we should be able to have atleast 10 who are able to make one icon throughout the course of a week. The lack of participation in this community is just getting really rather ridiculous and it is very discouraging to us as moderators, that's why this post has taken so long to go up.

The future of this community depends on you.

So please vote on this post as you normally would, choosing your top 3 and the most creative icon.

Rockin' the electric? )

:/  
So basically, here's the deal.

The reason voting posts for weeks 107 & 108 have not been posted is because there has not been enough submissions for each theme to hold an actual competition, particularly week 107.

So both contests have been extended until next week. I, and the other mods, would like to keep this community running but we can only do that if *you* participate. It would be sad to close this community but with the lack of participation lately, it seems that's the way things are going.

So please, try to submit an icon here and here.

Here are the Week 105 (time) banners!

Time Goes By )
 
 
19 September 2006 @ 01:06 am
It was brought to my attention that the winners for week 105 were ever posted. But it's not like your participation in this community really reminded me of it :/ The voting post only got 17 responses. Guys, this is getting rather ridiculous.

Anyway, the winners!

Time goes by so fast )

Oh and bannermakers? We're getting really behind. I know school has started and such but could you please try to get on yours ASAP? Thanks!
 
 
18 September 2006 @ 12:06 am
I don't know why the voting hasn't been posted for week 107, but I want to keep us as on time as possible so I'm putting up the submit post for week 108 now.

Your challenge this week is rock. You may represent this word on your icon or you may use the word yourself. If you want to interpret that another way, that's fine too :D

So everyone, get your creative juices flowing and submit!!! You have until Friday evening at around 6PM EST.
 
 
12 September 2006 @ 06:32 pm
Guys, I'm so sorry I didn't post this sooner! I fail, really. With the lack of participation there's been a lot of postponing and delays, and I just kind of forgot. Anyway!

Your theme this week is electric. Take this however you like - whether it's using the actual word or relating your icon(s) somehow to electricity, do your best and be creative! Get your entries in by Saturday, September 16 by 5:00 PM EST. If you have any questions, fire away. Now go forth and enter!
 
 
12 September 2006 @ 03:09 pm
Congratulations! ^_^

My final destination is forever. )

[info]isghest will be your bannermaker for this week. Also, I can't stress this enough, but there is to be no voting for your own icon. On another note, remember to include Most Creative in your vote as well in the future!

Oh and [info]akaich0u, would it be alright if I snag your Ai Otsuka icon? ^_^

Here's your mid-week reminder to get your submissions in for this week's theme: Sky! We have 3 lovely submissions and we definitely need more. Please go HERE to submit!
 
 
04 September 2006 @ 11:17 am
Your theme for this week will be:

Sky


You could include the word, variations of the word or depict a Jpop artist with a sky backdrop in your icon and so on. I hope this theme isn't too hard, there's plenty of room for intepretation. Have fun and be creative! ^_^

Deadline for submission is Friday, September 8th, Midnight EST. You may submit up to 2 icons. Hope to see plently of your lovely submissions soon!

Ho ho ho ---.. I'm soo sorry for being late in my banner duty, but I'm a senior with messed up GPA and am having trouble choosing colleges so I didn't have time to come online to update..anyhow...congratulations to the winners and here are the banners.

I didn't follow the 300x100 size because I thought it should stand out diferent from others.

Follow the yellow brick road )

Well that's all.

Umm I was wondering if I could have the email of one of the mod who assigned me. I need to email one of you about my future status as a banner maker =/. To the rest don't worry its just a temporary thing ^^l
 
 
02 September 2006 @ 01:40 am
Finally! Here it is. Still hardly any icons, especially considering the extension, but we'll survive.

Time is slipping away )

Vote for your favorite three icons and the one you think is the most creative. Winners will be posted on Sunday.

Hey everyone. So obviously the voting was never posted due to lack of submissions and the fact that I was really busy moving into college and such. But since a theme for this week never went up, last week's contest has been extended to this week. So you have until Friday night to submit. Voting will then go up as normal.
 
 
26 August 2006 @ 03:54 pm
Since we still don't have quite enough icons to hold a proper contest, I'm giving you all until tonight at midnight EST to submit your icons here. If we still don't have enough, I guess we'll have to do modified voting. I know the theme went up late this week, but if you could all try to submit an icon, that would be great ♥
 
 
25 August 2006 @ 02:49 pm
Hey everyone! We only have four icons right now (which are all lovely) so we definitely need more!! You have until midnight EST tonight to submit, so make some icons and submit them here!!
