Hi Bimbos and Himbos, or for the newer players, Ximbos -whichever one you prefer :)

It has been literally forever since I created a post but I was asked something today that got me thinking.
So a fellow Bimbo after reading my bio asked me what were the contests like back in the days and why I was so invested in them.
For those of you who don't know the contests,many years ago, used to last 24h-48h max if they were single rounds, up to 72h if editing was allowed, and last but not least up to 48h max per round, if they were multiple round contests. The only prizes we got were banners- and that was actually in the discretion of the contest holder, but let's say 9 out of 10 times the top 3 would receive a banner, perhaps some honorable mentions/if there were any/ and sometimes there would be a participation banner for all the rest(not Bimbo-customized obviously).
As you can imagine all of the above made it a lot easier for many many contests to run at the same time, any given day, making it extremely fun and creative to have so many options to choose from and come up with all kinds of outfits to participate with.

So I was wondering if this is something that would be of interest to bring back, to a certain extend if possible. I can only speak for myself that my motive to enter contests is not the possibility of winning Diamonds, chests or anything else that a player would have to pay for, or give off their own, and to be honest it has been something that has stopped me from hosting any - which is something I used to do a LOT! 
Also the time duration worked very well, as they didn't feel like they're being dragged out but rather have new ideas popping up all the time!

I'm including a poll as I'm genuinely curious to see if that poses any interest to any of you :)

I would love to see more of these quick contests! I would really enjoy these, as I don't feel like their presence would eliminate the current "slower" contests. A variety is always enjoyable, at least in my eyes.

I am curious to see poll results...
I don't think quick contests would interrupt or affect in any bad way contests that last for a week or longer. I haven't seen any quick fashion contest since I started playing BL. There were quick contests of other kind tho. But what I noticed is that contests that last for a week only usually have less participants than slower ones. Not sure how it would work tbh but it doesn't hurt to try.

Yes I messed up with the poll *shy* but it's visible now :)

To be honest less participants was not always a bad thing either cuz that meant different people had statistically more chances of winning. It really worked very well back then. I'm sure it will be something unfamiliar to many here who didn't play MB and have not experienced it but like you and Keisha mentioned this type of contest won't disturb in any way the slower-current ones so I think it's worth trying it out ^^

May take a while for people to get used to it but I'm keen on giving it a go as soon as I find a program to start making banners again :D I have so many ideas I wanna do and it would help to go through them faster once the duration is a lot less; fast food contests here we go :D
