AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest celebrating The Physics Forums, where participants are encouraged to creatively display the website on any screen without using screen captures. Contest rules specify that only original photographs are allowed, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 pixels. Participants can enhance brightness and contrast but cannot make significant alterations. Each member can submit only one photo, and all entries must be posted in the designated thread. Voting will occur at the end of the contest, with potential for multiple polling threads if there are many entries. The thread also includes light-hearted banter about the challenge of the contest and nostalgia for a past member. The final day for photo submissions is emphasized.

Physics Forums[/color][/size]

This week, it is a tribute to our most favorite physics forum, The Physics Forums! Show creative ways to display the Physics Forums website on any screen. Please note that you cannot use a screen capture. It must still be something that is photographed.

Good luck!

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

Do you plan to enter one? Maybe you could give us an example.
 
This is a tough one, Zz. Though, we love PF :p

At night, when I go to bed, it appears that someone else uses my phone to get onto PF.
