Hmm, I must say Chilly, that sounds most curious to me. I know the first place I'd look would be with the meme's creator. He doesn't seem to mention that it's a "deviantArt meme", the next place I'd check would be Google which doesn't refer to it as a "deviantArt meme", next I would check Wikipedia which yields no results.... so I really would like that address to see that first place you looked which made mention of "deviantArt meme" so that I can read it for myself. Post that for me because I need to be sure you're not just trying to weasel out of the challenge.
Anyway, if you'd looked up meme, you'd see they act like genes, which means mutating and replicating. What I am suggesting is that if you look at the 12 Influence Maps by members here, it's ALREADY mutated into HM Influence Maps but if you'd rather do a special Heromorph take on it, then by all means! I know OCP said he was thinking about doing a Heromorph I-Map.
I picked Influence Maps because it seemed simple, easy and fun as well as giving insight into the art of all the artists who participated and creating some common bonds and maybe even get a few comments going. So far, 12 maps have been entered so it looks like it's more or less a mild success thanks to the other 9 members who submitted one (you guys rock!). This happened because I made it happen, started the challenge forum, posted the thumbnails and links, talked about it in the forums and gallery and submitted to it. I'm not a moderator or an administrator, I'm just a member saying "if WE want more to happen around here, maybe WE should actually DO something about it." I'm saying members complain but there's no reason the membership can't step up too especially the ones complaining.
As to your ideas, they all sound really good to me! Some of your suggestions are rather far reaching, which is to say they would require community, resources and complex planning. I personally am more focused on what we can do to make things better now and there are a number of things you could do right now like duels, partnerships, pass-arounds and thread gallery. So pick one and make it happen! Start there. Less talking, more doing. Hell, I could have been done a Heromorph Influence Map in the time it took me to write this! Maybe if things keep picking up, more people get involved, we can get to some of the bigger stuff.
Chilly sez:
@Pijon ? I read your thing and looked up Influence maps and the first thing that came up was ?Influence maps are a deviantArt meme?. That?s all well and good as a little challenge, but we want a Heromorph meme, something that can?t be found on a dozen other websites.
