You can just get any old web host, one with huge amounts of space would be good.
And then we can have an impulse FX website too. ;D

o right i see where ur going with this now. its a great idea, but finding a "decent" free hoster is gunna prove difficult. but its definatly an idea that we'll think about and work on.

Zymic.com seems good to me but depending on how big this thing is going to get you may want an unlimited storage space site.
The real thing you want to look at at the moment is the amount of free disk space. Zymic offers 2000MB and freewebs has 40MB for example.
And you can always use image ready to slice up a photoshop web template and get the HTML, No fiddly table coding needed!

Maybe it's the technical jargon, I dont wuite understand - I like the 'poster' idea or whatever iti is, but not sure about the 'linking' part. Would people do bits in turn, to know what to link to, or....*insert alternative*

ok well if we go thru with this then were probably gunna try 1 dimentional first (straight line left to right) so someone would start it off with the 1st pic, the left edge would be straight but the right edge could be left kinda abstract so that it would overlap the next pic.
so when people make em, they make the left edge straight and the right edge abstract, this way they should all overlap and fit together nicely. Also im guessing the way we would have to do it is people post their entry and ill put em together on PS and then host it.
but yeah in answer to ur question, they would be done 1 at a time so u can see what needs to be done on the next one in order to blend em together

Just so it is a challenge, we should have leading elements on either edge. And kain, you should be able to line up all the entries through HTML.

New idea, not sure how this will go down....
Whoever wins SOTW, could put in a tut for it - as it's the most popular, it makes sense. Though perhaps people would prefer to know how to do it themsleves.
Alternatively, You could have another poll, 'Which sig tut should be made?'

I personally wouldn't like making tutorials. Usually after I make a sig, I barely remember how I made it.. plus making tuts takes time and effort :/ Time which I don't have.. Keeping up with S/DoTW is already a real task for me atm. Making tuts.. that would be too much. It's a good idea though, for those who like to make tuts/have time for it. This is just my opinion though.

its a nice idea cos obviously it would be great to get a large tut list, however i cant really "mandate" it and say that the winner 'must' make a tut for their sig. personally, i make a tut whenever my style changes or when i make something i really like.
however if anyone is interested in making a tut, but doesnt know how, then plz PM me and ill try and explain.

Just a suggestion maybe we could use tutorials as part of the DOTW one week. But it doesn't have to be signature tutorials it could be a specific effect tutorial or a tool tutorial.
Just brainstorming again.

u mean have the DOTW topic as "design a tut" ?
its a great idea, however i dunno how many people would be motivated to make a tut.. if we had some kind of 'sign-up' so we could see if there would be enough interest then yeah im all for it.
