Goodness, I've messed this thread up beyond repair in an effort to split it off. No posts were lost, but they're in somewhat of the wrong order, now. I shall never use the "move post" function again, didn't realize it would reset the time stamps on the posts.
edit: here was my most recent post before my error:
I didn't do a live chat because it would have meant delaying results another week, and I wasn't going to have time to get the prizes taken care of, then. Also I get mostly negative feedback about the live results chats we've had in the past. I'm sure a few people might enjoy it, but it seemed like the smarter call not to bother with it.
Folks can do what they want, it's Onion's contest and all. I just want to avoid being misrepresented in all this. Like I said, I didn't recall Aled directly offering to buy BiM, I guess maybe he did if he says he did, but it's not in my rights to sell it to him, anyway. So either way, I am not "refusing to sell" it. Anybody who says otherwise is either lying or doesn't know what they're talking about.
Sorry to say, Brickfilms does not have many things BiM doesn't have. The community forum is the only thing that I can think of, which we closed because it the staff unanimously felt it was detrimental to the website. I guess the resources are a little more populated, too, which is nice. I won't keep arguing about this, though, I don't really want to provoke arguments of BF vs. BiM, I care more about the community staying intact.
