If you are an active Dragon Quest promoter on the web, you could be honored with a very cool profile badge, designed by the one and only Flute_Warrior, for your untiring efforts.

To qualify for this award, you must participate in promoting Dragon Quest in one or many ways. This may include blogging, Youtube videos, website creation, or by advertising on popular sites like Myspace and Twitter. Show proof of your dedication to reap this reward!

To claim your badge, submit your URL to this topic and a panel of prestigious judges will evaluate the merits of your contribution and decide on whether you should receive this award.

As this is an ongoing contest, there is no currently defined end date and the rules and guidelines may be updated or changed at the discretion of Woodus, Flute_Warrior or King Zenith.

Suggestions:
1) Don't just promote DQ9, there are other great games out there too!
2) You can talk about DQ Merchandise and other goodies
3) If you use a social networking site, add a background or some eye candy so people get a glimpse of what DQ really is. Be creative!

We're looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

http://twitter.com/jose_gallardo

http://www.youtube.com/josegallardo89

here's mine

http://twitter.com/#!/jvboytheman --> i post DQ stuff sometimes post via hash tags on DQ like #DQIX, #DragonQuest
http://www.facebook..../#!/jvboytheman --> posted about playing DQ games etc. Current profile pic is DQV hero, haven't changed it since Dec 2? There was this campaign against child violence, so i posted lotsa Cartoon Profile pics and the last one i posted was DQV hero even though he wasn't a cartoon character

well, i'm one of the few people at school who eats and breathes DQ

got more, gonna post later

EDIT: so i created a new Tumblr account, since my old one was rotting AND i forgot the URL and password to that. I know, it had been quite a while since i last visited it...

so, here it is, the new one: http://endlessarmame...ist.tumblr.com/

I just activated my account on this site, but I think I might try my hand at this award!

The site I help moderate called DQ-HQ:

My youtube page, devoted to showing off Dragon Quest vids, not just my pretty face:

My facebook at Emma Ragazzo (not my true last name, ) which is recognizable as I have Maribel riding a fish as my icon. But I pretty much only use my facebook to store a huge collection of Dragon Quest pictures and manga I have found.

I think this one should be pinned since it will never really expire, what do you guys think?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Cool. I've directed a few people here at forums, but it's good to know that I can really earn this award later.

[jvboytheman]

Thanks for the award!

[Woodus]

No problem, your websites looked good to us

how about the 68th Contest: make an idea for the 69th contest. the one who either has the craziest or the amazing contest will gain the award and that idea will be for 69th contest.

I happily accept contest ideas from anybody, but a contest to come up with a contest idea? I don't know about that one.

[Snigeln]

Sounds like a fun idea to me. You could use it if you run out of contest ideas sometime. 

[GrandAlchemist]

Hopefully that won't be for a long, long time.

In my opinion, this doesn't go far enough. As best I can tell, you just created a free forum with a DQ theme. You're the only member, and there are no topics (and consequently no posts). The redeeming quality about it is that it links to the Dragon's Den.

We would like to re-evaluate after you have had some time to beef it up a bit. This submission seemed a bit premature.

I know I just started it but I pretty new to webs. If you could give me some ideas maybe that would be helpful. I have some friends who like dragon quest and I will ask them to join.

I don't know much about starting a successful forum. It pretty wouldn't hurt to make some topics of discussion that people can respond to. If you have any way of adding media content (images, videos) that's not a bad way to lure some people in.

From my experience, the biggest attraction to a forum is the other users. That can make it tough to start a new one.

Maybe someone else has some good ideas, but that's pretty much all I got.

Do making Let's Play videos count as promoting Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior? If so, here be my Youtube Channel.

Slime Masters Asortment of Let's Plays!

[Aoibara]

To Slime Master and BoA.execute, your submissions are being evaluated now. We are just waiting for the final input before making the decision.

[Slime Master]

Awesome Stuff, I hope our stuff is good enough

I'm quite sure it is. At this point it's just a formality since we agreed to wait for Woodus' input (and since he is one who inevitably gives you the badge).
