The Hazard Times

HB-WPC Integrated
Following a positive response from WPC participants, the Wallpaper Competition forums were integrated with Hazard Blue! This move seems to have successfully resurrected HB from the near-death stage it had reached, at the same time giving WPC participants better freedom of spamming.

It all started with a small idea by one of the two current WPC managers. The idea was to enable the members to discuss things more freely, and showcase their talent beyond the WPC forums. The idea was also to rebuild HB and reconvert it into the lively sub-forum that it once was. Participants took to this idea pretty well, and the Integration of HB and WPC happened!

All WPC participants are now free to use the HB forums to discuss whatever they want to. While constructive spamming (whatever that means!) is allowed, members are encourage to exchange and put forward ideas that will help other members, as well as contribute to the growth of HB. HB also features a showcase for members to post their wallpapers and themes in.


SDC Planned. Krakit the manager.
Let’s all give a round of applause to krakit, who will be managing the first Sig Designing Competition. The HB mods bowed to the huge public pressure ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) and decided to go ahead with the competition. It will be held in the Hazard Blue forum itself. However, everyone will be invited to participate.

The competition will officially start on 15th November. It will last for a fortnight and voting will begin when November ends. Winners will be awarded SDC trophies.

Members are requested to start publicising the event and pull in as many competitors as they can. Remember, the more the merrier! Participants can be roped in from WPC, TMC and STC...this means a participant base of potentially more than 50! (ok...so who’s gonna count the votes? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ). Members are also welcome to put up banners in their homesites and sigs in order to publicise it.

Krakit will be the honorary manager for the event. It should be noted that competitors will also have to design an accompanying 100x100 avatar to go with the sig.


Bigger surprises planned!
Alryt, HB homies! Your WPC manager and favourite guy has bigger surprises in store for you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) What they are, I cannot reveal yet, else they wouldn’t really remain surprises anymore. But one thing’s for sure, if my...ahem...plans are successful, you guys will have a lot to talk about!

Alright, you don’t really have to send in your resumes for the post. All you have to do is post your designs. The members will vote for the best design and select the one they feel is the best. There will be a separate thread for this soon....very soon.
