Gah. This is the first time I’ve seen such an error. It says contact the admin, so you guys really need to PM Fred over at GA.org.

I know he’s online over there right now, so that’s really your best bet, I’m afraid. Nothing I can do about it over here :\

Good luck, fellas!

#188

Intentional double-post so you guys get the email notification:

Just received word from Fred. Please be persistent and keep trying to upload it. Last minute entries are bombarding the server and the system is struggling a little. It will go through, just keep trying :slight_smile:

#189

still cant get through, i guess i’m out of luck :frowning:
thanks for your help…

#190

i have the same problem and only 1 image left to upload and now i can’t log in :frowning:

#191

dont worry Robotank. I mean, there must be 1000 people posting now. I can’t get through either…

#192

I cant even access the gameArtisan server it say gameartisan server is down and will be back up in 2 minutes its half an hour now?

#193

well shoot DDS, I’m still voting for yours, lol !

#194

The entry page needs more cowbell.

#195

There isn’t much anyone can do, apart from wait for the site to come back online.

The only line of communication I have with GA.org is through their forum, so I can’t tell you anything other than what you guys already know.

#196

Ah!

It seems that the server’s taken a bash, and Fred’s given a 12 hour grace period:

This is a Dominance War IV Important Update.

Due to hundreds of users trying to submit their DW finals at the same time, the DW system is doing some spectacular and extraordinary crashes. To compensate, a 12 hour extension has been given to insure everyone gets their entries in some time tonight.

If you get a white page error saying sorry after a list of code - please try again and again until it works. This is for submitting images, titles, urls, and/or getting into your personal entry page.

If problem persists all night, please contact me at fredh@dominancewar.com and include the following info in your email:
Your user name:
Your entry title:
Your thread url:
Your technical issue and error message:

All the best to everyone entered!

You should all have had this notification in your emails :slight_smile:

And breeeeeathe.

Hi there, just a little quick question about the final images submitted to DW4 (including the images submitted to mini competition), I was wondering if they were allowed to be submitted to anywhere else, for example
1. Can I use an image as an entry for books etc?
2. Can I post it on my own website?

  Am I free to do these or do I need a permission to do it?
  And if it was all right to submit the image to somewhere else, can I modify them (modify as in... eg. change the colour a little, add some bits and pieces etc... or, does it have to be in the original state which you submitted as a final?)
  
  Wonder if anyone could help me,, Thanks very much in advance.
#200

I’m pretty sure if you read the rules and regs on the DWIV site, it says near the bottom that the images belong to us, to do with as we please :smiley: but don’t take my word it ><

#201

oh ooops :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: sorry & thanks for pointing the page out! i thought ive seen it somewhere but then again, wasn’t too sure(especially the modifying bit):stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: but that’s nice to know, thank you xx

hi there…

Originally, I wanted to make a large competition where everyone could enter, receive advice, and have fun,’ Hultqvist explains. “Plus, the thought of going head to head with another forum was a seriously cool idea.
