Gmail Address Competitions gallery... VOTE NOW

A couple new rules. Each image needs 10 votes before the contest is concluded... but uploads still will end at 5pm PST Monday June 28.

man oh man I am not on my game today, I just realized I might have disqualified myself by submitting more than one, anyway I need a damn break.

Is there a limit to the number of images you can post Paul... also, do they need to be original images taken by the person who posts them.

no limit on images and, no, doesn't have to be by you but you should credit the creator of the image to avoid copyright infringement.

is everyone able to submit?

anyone.

... remember that at least 10 votes are necessary to be officially rated.

i have one invite left myself, i could sell it to you paul, then you could give 4 away!

nope, now i have six invitations left...

the flying dog is my vote for winner

Arzo - would you care to share? I don't have much but I could email you compliments everyday for a month...

Arzo - "i could sell it to you paul, then you could give 4 away!"

uhhh... thanks for your generosity, but no thanks. i actually have many more invitation than the 3 i'm giving away.

Paul - would you care to share? I don't have much but I could email you compliments everyday for a month...

anatomical gift - i am sharing, with the people who post the three highest rated image to the gmail gallery.

I don't know about this but someone sent me this link about Gmail. Sounds like it came from the desk of Bill Gates -

http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com/

ag,

i bought 3 on ebay for $2....so compliments every day for a month .... your cheaper than i thought. theres all these 1-7 min. bid sprints going on.....so go for it. right now you cant accesss your gmail through outlook though. i took archinect@gmail.com figuring i will sell it back to paul some day when he is richER and Famous[well almost famous perhaps].

jj.

everything that applies to gmail in that article applies to hotmail, yahoo, archinect etc. and special for mr. bill gates, msn. patriot act in particular gives the goverment the right to indescriminately access your personal information, conversations, etc. since the us can write this rule, so why not all other nations.

TED - nice try, but i registered archinect@gmail.com a while back ;)

i know....just thought i'd try for a free complment from ag......

TED - Did you get a haircut? It looks nice.

Well thanks anotomical gift....so nice of you to notice!!

so when is the deadline?

you have 4 more hours (deadline 5pm PST). the details are on the gallery page - http://www.archinect.com/gallery/index.php

uploads will stop at that point but we'll keep the voting going on for an additional 48 hours so more votes can be included, for fairness.

OK, pardon my ignorance but what is gmail?
Can anybody enlighten me?

check the top post - Gmail website

Too many legal problems......... will gmail ever go out? dont think so.

The deadline for uploading images has passed, but the gallery will be open for voting until Wedesday, 5pm PST, so go and vote now. The more votes the images receive, the more fair the results will be:

http://www.archinect.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=15

well, i disagree with your statement with regard to the 'more votes the images receive, the more fair the results...'

in the spirit of fairness.... can you please disregard anyone with a florida ip address ? and how can we be reassured that because we are voting electronically that our votes will actually be counted?

"well, i disagree with your statement with regard to the 'more votes the images receive, the more fair the results...'"

TED - each computer is only allowed to vote once, so more votes means more people's opinions are being counted.

"and how can we be reassured that because we are voting electronically that our votes will actually be counted?"

when you rate an image, the number of votes increases by 1 (as read below the image) and the average score adjusts, calculating your vote.

and finally, remember, " This is NOT a serious contest, so please have fun and don't take it seriously."

:-)...ok...just having fun anyway...but you didnt get it.

got it ;)

i've got some invites.
who wants an address?
you dont have to send me money. or a picture. or anything.
you just have to promise to be nice to me.

Stephanie - I PROMISE to always be nice to you.
Now what am I gonna do with all this cash and all these 8 x 10 glossies?

i liked the flying puppy best...

seriously, my professor could take better pictures!

I should have cheated more thoroughly!

wait i'm confused... i thought the flying puppy was way on the lead... what happened?

well it was fun, anyway... only dissapointed since there were a lot of good, funny and/or interesting pics out there and i sort of disagree with those as top 3. the cracks of a democratic system i guess.

What's up with that second photo? What is that, a cheese shop?

I, for one, am glad the dog lost.

fyi - all the images from the contest are still up... they've just been moved into other, appropriate, galleries.

i thought the ando playboy was a sure winner. i wish i had that issue
