I didn't realise at first that the idea had already been thought of and a competition had been held. I thought I had come up with a really good idea and couldn't wait to share it with every one. It made me look so stupid when I found out this had been thought of before. Along with the Individual Snail Gallery idea, that apparently was currently under construction. Oh, it's always the way isn't it, you think you have a great idea and then the reality is that it has already been thought of. I am now even more determined to think of an idea that is a first in the history of this forum lol. However, as I have now brought the topic up once more to discussion then I do hope another competition could be held sometime soon.

Sure thing, we'll get on to it. Get your pics ready over xmas.
I know it is annoying to find your ideas have been thought of but keep them coming. The more the merrier, I'd like to get as many ideas lined up as possible. When you look at what is around for other pets, snails are under-represented! So we need to get busy...

Well we would need a good quality to see the snail best. You could have a pic with a good snail pose but not so good quality, so this would affect the voting maybe. I personally would judge people’s pics by originality.

How about, i'm guessing everyone has fulica, we could have a split competition for fulica where People with baby fulica can enter theres in one and then the other strictly for adult fulica and have a winner for each competition, and it will be for the prettiest shell, pattern and condition. Heeh? Heeh? what ya think?

yes but it just means we know a baby would win because they have nicer shells than the oldies, and we can't just have babies cuz not everyone has them

Not a very good mind reader are you? lol I don't think all babies have nicer shells One of my adults used to have a nicer shell than any of my babies. I still have the shell too lol. The main bad thing about a general one is that there might be some people that will vote for the babies just because they're babies Like in dog comps, a lot of puppies get voted for just because they're puppies and are automatically cuter Oh, and more and more people are getting margies and many of the other species now, so it's not really fair to only suggest a seperate fulica comp Freddie says so. So there. Rofl ;D I think a general every species one is the main thing to start with, and then depending on the votes etc, mini ones could then be done for the seperate species that at least say... 5 people have? 3 pics isn't really much of a comp (Imo), not sure about 4 lol.

In some ways you are very lucky then. I don't mind fulica, after all I do have like 34 of them but I just don't like it when they laid eggs and hatched. Back then I didn't know what to do with the eggs so, I let them hatch. (BIG MISTAKE!) Now I have 34 fulica! In some ways I think an individual snail species competition would be a good idea. However, not everyone here has a great variety of snails, so wouldn't be able to join in with some competitions. This is why I think it would be better to just have one competition for all species of GAL.

I think it's unfair to have a beauty contest, because it might be only chance the person has the prettiest fulica or whatever.
I think it should be the most original like sonicsnail said.

i agree with sonic (can i call you sonic) your all making it very complicated. i have baby fulica, you could have 1 if you like sophie. fulica's are traditional, a must have. i didnt realise how much it means to you sonic to have a first idea. if you like i will take mine back an we will forget it ever happened fi

It doesn't mean much to me at all, it's just annoying when you find out that an idea has already been thought of, cos it makes me look kind of stupid. You shouldn't take it back that it was your idea first! If it was honestly your idea first then I don't want to change that, rofl. Nice of you to say that though... Some people think that I'm trying to come up with ideas for the forum, but I’m just the type of person that always has new ideas.

I want you to come up with new ideas for the forum. ;D You don't look stupid in my opinion for having the same idea as someone else, great minds think alike and all that.
