Well for the contest, I was just refering to last year's Nspire portion of Omni contest. Almost nobody even bothered to announce their entry, not even when it got finished. It sucked because it seemed like nobody was participating and the Nspire community was almost dead. Enforcing it would at least encourage activity instead of leeching/lurking. As for help usually it was allowed, as long as the author doesn't post a single line of code, right?

On a side note I really hope LuaFX will have some similarities with Nspire Lua, so that porting Nspire games to the PRIZM or vice-versa is easier.

Hm, ironically this thread became pretty active. We need more of those threads!

Qwerty.55 is stalking you again??

Seriously I hope things are not going too tough

I have to locate housing and allocate money for that, I have finals, a math conference, competition, grades (I did very poorly last year so I am trying to get my scholarships/grants back), applying for jobs and internships and doing interviews

Well, I got demoted to CoT, dunno if that counts...

actually posting code in general was allowed and will be as long as what you get help on adds up to less than a large portion of your topic (not like we are gonna hound you but be fair if your whole entry is done via help then who is really coding?)

I assume you still lose points on originality, though, right?

And I see Xeda. Btw is it $585 a month together or x2? If it's together, then that's surpringsly cheap considering I heard a lot of apts in NYC are like $3000 a month.. Good luck with the Google Summer of Code by the way!

Ah I see. Well good luck whatever happens. X.x

back on-topic, another idea would be that when people decide to take a break or are gonna be unable to reach Omni for a while that they let us know in advance, so we don't get worried about them being gone or something wrong having happened.

Lol I doubt anyone wanted you to go away. In fact I think whenever that happens it's because a member has reached the point where he's on the verge of banning, and even then a lot of people miss him.
