Hi Ibsters!
Cool stuff today. I will save you some reading time by just jumping right into the two big things this week:
- Entry Deadlines- Never in your life will you be so excited about deadlines (well, maybe not as excited as dColumbus and his Sarcastic Clapping)! Every competition will now have a deadline for entering in a competition, depending on its length. You will be able to vote on entries however, anytime, until the very end. Make those votes count!
- Groups- We redesigned the look and feel of Groups, but also have expanded some aspects of it to make competing in a group more fun:
- Points- Going forward (not retroactive), the points you win in group competitions will be tracked within your group. Now you can see who the heavy hitters are, the people that bring their A game to your group!
- Roles- Groups now can have multiple Owners, Captains and Members, to help keep the group running ever so smoothly and efficiently. Read here for more.
- Improved pages- Competition list, member browsing, group browsing; we’ve tweaked the pages to be cleaner and easier to use.
Also, I wanted to take the time to introduce the newest member of the ibeatyou squad, Chris. Chris doles out lean, mean Actionscript and PHP like there’s no tomorrow, rides a motorcyle, and can rock out on the guitar. In otherwords, he’s badaaasss! Please welcome him to the ibeatyou community (once he tells me his username!)
Happy group beatdown-ing!
- Steve

Well let’s get the greetings out the way……Hey Chris, Welcome to the ibeatyou.com team. Look forward to beating you (during a competition, that is).
Okay so I assume that the new tweeks are a product on complaints, well I rather liked the way it was. I’m sure SOME people would agree. Though I guess it’s just a way to stop cheaters, with there last minute entries. That I understand, but People like me that post entries at like 12:15 am well are affected. I like to think I don’t cheat but If I am then I apologize.
By entering early morning, I do?
Thanks for your time!

Hey guys! If you want to find Chris to say hello, he is cdubya on ibeatyou. The entry cut off was meant to prevent people from entering right before the competition was about to end. Since everything resets at 12, 12:15 would actually mean entering in the first few minutes
It shouldn’t impact your ability to enter competitions within a normal time frame. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Wow, I’m so glad that you guys have entry deadlines now. I was actually just talking to marjan about how it’s annoying when people end competitions at the last minute and win buy three high votes. Thank you guys.
