Nice, 100% of my (two) contest entries have made it to the top hundred! Haven't really had much time to be on PMC because of writing my thesis and playing Diablo III - it feels like that the latter one is a time machine that sends you into some random point in the future :D

Also great to see a huge improvement in judging speed. I'm all for judges taking their time and judging skins fairly, but not so carefully and/or lazily that it takes two weeks to judge only 10% of finalists like a couple of examples in the last contest :|

This has been a great contest, and it'll probably be even greater when judge #8 is done with judging :D

You just need to be patient it's a virtue judge 8 will do it eventually just do some stuff to pass the time you can play some games make a skin start a project make a texture pack you can go out some where and have fun there an infinite possibility of stuff you can do to waste some time the judge either forgot or is taking his/her time to decide on what the score should be for the entries its hard to be honest to someone so it's a good thing that 8's putting a lot of though into this because now 8's score will be more honest and better thought out and some people need more time then others to make a choice and there's nothing wrong with that so you just need to be patient and wait also I would not be mean to a judge of a contest you are in it just seems like a bad idea

its not like the judges is doing more work, its that he/she does not have time to do the judging. Why sign up to judge if you don't have the time to put in. There are much more ppl on here that will have the extra time.

You don't "sign up" for judge. You are chosen by either making very good skins, or by getting a high rank in the previous contest.

You can apply to be a judge, but you can also be asked even if you haven't applied.
Also, congratulations to all the winners!

In usergroups, contest judge is listed without invitation.
I think... but apparently not.
