stop whining.
Stop moderating.

Sure okay, a tourney like this is fine once every few months, but having them back to back and then becoming a fad defeats the purpose of it being funny entirely.

He's right, for once.

good posting 10/10

That is true. However, we have just had -two- tournaments like this. It is not a fad yet considering only ONE person jumped on the "fad".

If more of these happen in a row however, then I would agree with you and andrew.

After all, if someone posts an image in there and someone else wants it to become a GTM meme, it isn't a meme unless other people start to use it, no ?

I know these tournaments are good because it brings life in tournaments, or bad because they summarize how it summarizes jokes about the internet that are unnecessary and annoying. In both cases I just mentioned, I'm not really in either crowd. I feel that if someone wants to run a tournament, I feel it's what the host wants to do and at the same time trying to appeal to others because the main point of a tournament is to get people to enter it and show enthusiasm in entering. Take a look at some of the tournaments I've been hosting, I try to host something I feel would be fun and I try to make certain thing interesting so people care about it. Whether or not I succeeded, is up to the entrants. I also feel that tournament life depends on the forum activity and forum behavior. BBEANS and Clash Cubes were popular because of an active community who all thought it was fun to enter. But that isn't the same as the forum we have now. I mean, 09's "GREATEST" Tournament was to appeal on the forum we have now and that went pretty successfully since people cared for it, and you're opinion depends on enthusiasm in the tournament you want to enter.  With all this said, I don't care what playzooki hosting this as long he has people who cares. I may not care, but as long as others care, then he can go right ahead.

And other people are using it. If this is the third tournament, thats 2 tournaments too many. I dont particularly mind these if people enjoy them, but i actually want a serious tournament. But thats just my opinion.
