Yeah, I really wanted to enter this year...

No, Juggernaut, BRAWL was unofficial, the staff didn't decide on it at all.

If you want to keep a contest limited to Brickfilms.com out of spite because I've declined your frequent offers/requests to help with official contests or join the staff here, I guess that's understandable. I would tend to think it's a bit unfair to the contest sponsor to deliberately avoid posting the contest in the place where it'll get the most exposure, but it's not really my business.

For the record, Onion, I am not "refusing to sell" BiM so I'd appreciate if you could stop spreading false rumors about me like that.  Nobody has offered to buy it, but I don't own it anyway.

Not quite sure what happened here. I mentioned BF to highlight my sincerity as a participant, you know-as a reference for an upcoming horror contest. It would be cool if other websites pointed the way here-"Heads up. There's an animation challenge going on over at BiM!" But what would other websites do beyond that?

MPfist0-Off the top of my head the three top winners were Birds by Andreas Feix, Good Company by hali, and Dominus Poenae by Kapaluchi Studios.
(EDIT: Accidentally credited dominus as Egoless. He did enter another film entitled Descension-but I'll have to look for that one.)
I found a copy of the flier we handed out at Brickfest that summer: Here.

In five days, BF.com has built up a community of 59 members, a full 33% of which are also members here, and only 7% of users who have posted on BF.com are exclusively BF users. In comparison, we've added 61 unique users, some of whom have posted
In the same period of time, there have been 150 posts on BF.com. I don't know how many posts have been made here in five days, but I know for a fact that we hit that kind of mark daily, especially in the past couple of weeks with the announcements of ToY results and BRAWL results. Let's face it, BiM is a thriving center while BF is a shadow of it's former self.

So let me be absolutely clear: I encourage a dual website contest, but I strongly discourage a BF.com exclusive contest unless it's for the express purpose of [attempting] reviving BF.com.

I'd rather not openly state my motives for choosing BF over BiM in public, but if you wish to know then PM me and I'll tell you. I probably will be hosting on both sites, but please - I'd rather not be jumped on for something I never said.

Aled never offered to buy it that I can recall--I might be mistaken, it's possible he said something like that.  I know he offered to help pay for hosting.  Refusing to sell to Aled would not be refusing to sell.  He's vandalized both Brickfilms and BiM in the past and has earned a poor reputation with many of the long-time members here, so regardless of how I feel about him I know most of the staff would not approve of putting the site in his hands.  I think in the last few years he's grown up quite a bit and done a good deal to redeem himself.  I care about the site and the community, but if I thought I'd found a good successor who the staff would approve of I'd seriously consider handing over the website. Until then I'm doing the best I can with limited time, resources, and motivation.

Hazzat, JP, and Mr. Rundown101 aren't guilty of turning you in; I was concerned that you might be spreading false rumors about me so I read the message you sent out to all three of them through this forum by using my magical administrative powers. (Don't worry, folks; your passwords are encrypted and I'm not nearly smart enough to get to them) Call it Nineteen-Eighty-Four if you like, but when somebody is saying false things about me to try to drive people to another website, I consider it within my rights to look into this.

Wait, did Onion really spread that rumor? All I know is that you (Sméagol) is getting kinda boring since you don't wanna do more contests, or even get the ToY results on chat cause you thought it was boring even though most people on BiM quite enjoy it (me included).

Now Brickfilms.com is raising quickly in members and comments really fast and it is a really fun place to be on.
And why do you have to create so much more buzz about it being on Brickfilms.com? It's Onion's contest since he is hosting it.
