Creating & Running an Event (Please read before posting).

[center][size=4]Creating & Running an Event in the Convention Center[/size][/center]

The Convention Center is a forum where site-wide events are held. The forum has hosted competitions and awards in the past, for example. We encourage you to have a look at the older threads in this forum to get a feel for the type of events that are possible.

Now all members can create their own site-wide events right here. You might want to create a specific game or competition where you list the winners at the end, or you may want to host your own personal awards show (on whatever subject you choose).

I would recommend checking out the [url=?http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=58405?]Otaku Event Brainstorm[/url] thread for some great ideas on the sorts of events and games that can be created.

Here?s a quick list of the things you?ll need to be aware of when creating events in this forum:

1) You can create any type of event (whether it be related to anime, gaming, art, RPGs, etc). Feel free to be as imaginative as you like!

2) For now, all new threads in this forum will be moderated. This means that when you submit your thread, it must first be approved by the forum?s Moderator before it appears on the page. We may remove this restriction soon, but for now we want to make sure that everything is making sense.

3) The only real restriction in terms of content is that you can?t make your event ?official?. If your event is especially interesting, cool or generally well put-together, we will put an ?OFFICIAL? tag at the beginning of the thread title. If that happens, you may find your event being promoted around the network. This will also help members to browse all of the official and non-official events in the forum.

4) If you still want to create a game/challenge thread in a certain forum (i.e. Graphic Worm in Art Studio), that is totally fine. It doesn?t [i]need[/i] to be classified as an event ? that is entirely your choice!

Finally, if you have any questions, please ask them in this thread. I will post a FAQ underneath this notification if questions arise.

Have fun!
