well neon boy, I'm sure there ARE many entries, it's just they are all send via pm or email

**astrojith** · 08-20-2006, 10:56 AM

Can I use Flash to build the site. Well, I'm primarily a flash designer.

Well, this contest is not going in the direction as needed, and will be closed.
Very few entries have come in, and the ones that have were not the area of design that we were looking for.
As posted in the original rules, if no design meets the criteria or are not enough entries, there is no obligation to choose a winning bidder. Entries are just too slow and the ones that come in are good, but not what was being sought after.
I think it's better to close this thread now, instead of everyone investing more and more time into it.
Thank you for your entries.

WillStein; you're a design firm and you want people to send you layered PSDs via PM only, not posted within the thread.

I fail to see the necessity of this; your reasons are not sufficient justification to risk theft.

While I could simply stand by and choose not to answer or participate, I feel that others who may be more trusting or less jaded than I should be aware that this is not the norm and to use their best judgement when considering participating per the contest holder's terms.

Should have listened to everyone else

well Neonimage, that's why you must not send psds to ANYONE untill you see some money in your paypal...

**zemadz** · 08-20-2006, 02:02 PM

WillStein, you provided us none information and you were expecting something that we even didn't know. I'm disappointed.

Zemadz, your entry was on the right track.

But that was it. Just three entries. It is difficult to try and hold a contest with such small attention. Not to mention a large amount of negativity on the board. It did not work out as planned, and instead of trying to waste more of your time, I thought it would be best for everyone to end it now.

**Neonimage** · 08-20-2006, 02:55 PM

lol so it was scam all along

You would have probable got more entries if we knew what we were designing .... You didn't give much criteria it should be a web site about shoes for cats for all we know

**CannonBallGuy** · 08-20-2006, 04:18 PM

I wonder how many full, 100% original website designs one can expect to me made in less than two days...

**CoMmAnDo** · 08-20-2006, 04:57 PM

Well, the only thing that WillStein did wrong is maybe the first request of the psds, so half of the designers didn't want to put an entry, and that he said

So I'm sure that many of us thought of free designing, and "clean" should reffer to a "non-subject" design (the graphics, buttons, content to be clean).

If we all knew just the fact that It's a personal site there would have been allot more entries on the right track.
