Icon Day, Don't Forget to Vote and Upcoming!! + a question about a tag.....

[misstia]

It's ALMOST the 15th here, so go ahead and start icon day!! The 15th of the month is when you can post an entry to the community with vintage ad icons and no ad (amnesty day)...if you have a lot of icons, a cut would be nice....i said we'd see how this goes and i think we'll forgo with icon request day and just keep icon post day on the 15th....

you can post icons without an ad, but the icons MUST be from vintage ads (not necessarily ones that were posted here either!!)....we've had some great icons posted so far, and remember, i made an 'icon' tag too!

don't forget to vote for our contest finalists on this entry here....i'll be posting the winner wednesday morning.....

Weekend Event October Friday the 19th thru Sunday the 21st: Sci-fi/Retrofuturism Ads that are sci-fi/retrofuturism based....yes, dr. who ads....yes star trek ads....

October 26-31: Halloween Ads! Trick or treat! Candy! Costumes!

October 31st One day special event ADS IN DISGUISE: A total one day amnesty where we can post fake ads. Ads you have made, ads you have found and yes, even old looking ads for new products.

What kind of tag should i have for ads in disguise? 'fake ad'? i don't want it to be a commonly used tag though, ya know?? 'ads in disguise'? i guess i could make a tag 'amnesty one time only' or something like that in case someone new starts going through the ads....feedback, ideas on this??

Since it's a goof, go pretentious: #faux

well i'd go with faux, but many of our members don't speak english as their first language and i try to keep things simple in case they have to use google translate....though i think faux translates pretty easy/quick......

i'm thinking of 'one day a year amnesty' just to get across it's once a year and update our community info too.....

It's probably a good idea to add something to the tag that tells users that it's for one-time use. Maybe even add the date? New members who come along later might not know the history of it and think it's okay to post fake/faux ads anytime.

Looking forward to retrofuture!

yeah, i definitely want users to know it's a one-time thing.....i don't want people who are new to get the idea that posting fake ads are okay....i'll ad to our community info about that too methinks (and about our icon day, need to update our community info).....maybe i'll do 'one day a year amnesty' how's that for a tag?? then we can do it yearly....
