SMWC Promotional Video: Round Two! - Announcements

What's up, SMWC?

This project is still alive and kicking, and it's time to step things up a notch.

During the first round (the last thread on this subject), I outlined a variety of submission rules and guidelines. Consider them now suggestions, as opposed to rules.

Here are the revised rules for submissions for this project:

1. Submissions MUST be about SMWC and hacking!
This guideline still stands. If you want to post a clip of you singing or a video of how totally hip you look, there's probably a forum or thread for that elsewhere. Audio and video submissions still need to have something to do with SMWC and hacking. It's up to you how to incorporate those two things into your submission, but they do still need to be in there. If you want to make a submission that sticks to these rules from last time, you totally can. If you just want to throw in a clip of you saying "Hello SMWC! I love SMW hacking!" then you can do that, too.

2. You still need to tell us who you are!
Self-explanatory. Let us know who you are. It will make cataloguing submissions much easier, and it will identify you when this video is put together.

3. Finally, you must still be positive about SMWC and hacking in your submission!
Hate videos = do not want. Flaming and trolling, even casually, is not going to be tolerated. If you aren't sure if what you want to say could be counted as flaming or trolling, ask me; I'll probably tell you that your content is fine, but it's always best to ask and be careful.

Those rules aside, anything goes. Well, except for the naked part, but you get what I mean. You don't have to have too many set topics for your submissions, and you also don't need to worry about minimum time restraints. If you can obey the above guidelines in an epic five-second Vine clip, do it.

The point of this project is for the community to show off how cool and diverse it is, and for you guys to all have fun while you do it!

Lastly, please continue to send me your submissions by PM. This thread will remain open for discussion, questions, and links to submissions.

Go nuts!

Deadline: December 1st!

Nice, the previous guidelines seemed a bit restrictive, so hopefully this time I should come up with something. Is there a new deadline?

Yeah, I always forget the deadline. See the first post.

I feel like the problem with your guidelines is that you've made talk about SMW hacking mandatory while a lot of long-term users don't actually hack any more. If I were to make a video, I'd rather make it about the community, talk about stuff like the forums, IRC, games servers. I don't want to talk about SMW hacking. I gave that up ages ago. It's nothing to do with me now. I'm here because of the community and the community alone. I think if you turn that 'and' into an 'and/or', you'll see a greater number of submissions.

Just my two cents.

SMWC's official dentist since 2011.

I think it doesn't hurt to tell that you used to SMW hack at least, and that you used to enjoy it a lot. The best part is that you'll promote the site by saying that even though you don't hack anymore, you stayed for the community.

If you want to mention that you used to hack SMW (and enjoyed it while you did) but have stayed at SMWC due more to the vibrant community, that's fine. That way, you can still meet the guidelines (which are fine the way they are, since this is a hacking website) while offering a great contribution!

Hey, people, this is still a thing!

If you want to be a part of this, you still have time!

Remember, as long as you mention the noted content, your submission can be as short as you want!

This project is still alive and kicking, so join in now! Keep the submissions coming!

Should have some assistance from my cameraman slash lover this Friday, so you can expect my video soon after.

Finished up and sent in my video tonight. Hope it's all good.

So, deadline's been reached. Did you get my video? Or do I need to resend it???

Otherwise, I really do hope this project turns out a-okay. I would love to see the final thing soon. (But don't rush yourself, 'tis be a very tensile process)

Yes, the deadline has indeed been reached!

I received your submission. I am collecting them all together to distribute to THY and Pikerchu, who will be more-or-less taking care of things from this point forward.

I will leave this thread open (but will desticky it) in case people have any other questions or thoughts.

Last-minute submissions are still very much welcome! As always, send them to me by PM!

Great work, guys!

Now we just have to hope that the video will get viral, since I don't think there's any other chance besides getting viral that the video will become widespread. But that's just me.
