Lunaseas, If you look at the top of the page, left side, under the banner for Renderosity, it should say "welcome Lunaseas" followed by the date and time. Renderosity is on CST. Just don't spam the forums, and it would be nice if, after the contest is over, you who are running these contests clean up the gallery posts which are only announcements (text in box) rather than images, because people browsing the galleries are looking for art. This is like removing posters after an election... months later an announcement has lost its timeliness. Personally, I think celebrating your birthday by inviting folks to make art is a great idea... and offering a prize is generous. Some wonderful images were born in Ferguson's contest, so I hope to see good stuff here as well. Carolly
