@lirtosiast @Zgarb @Sp3000 @Dennis @Doorknob: I've finally sorted out all the prizes for the Best of 2015. It's mostly bounties, except for Zgarb's challenge. I think we shouldn't put up all the bounties at once, because that would just unnecessarily divide attention between the winners. In any case, the bounties should be put up for all 7 days and the bounty text should link to both the meta poll and the answer the bounty is going to (for answer prizes).

Since lirtosiast is offering two bounties and Team Effort is getting two bounties, I'd suggest we start with those. And Zgarb can post his challenge any time now.

Any opinions on how we should organise this?

Organise as in which bounty when?

yeah... or anything else you'd like to add :P

@MartinBüttner Alright! I'll post it today or tomorrow at some point.

cool.. I take it you'll put a notice at the top pointing to the two rewarded challenges?

Yes, and the Meta thread.

great :)

How many bounties at once should we offer?

I'd say we start with two and then maybe put up two more after 4 days or so?

I can't decide if editing "This challenge/answer won Best of 2015 in the category..." into the winner posts is a great or terrible idea.

!

Yay, the prizes are finally getting sorted out

yeah, sorry for the delay...

Nah, it's fine.

@MartinBüttner I don't think we should do that

Obviously we should have a great big meta post announcing the winners though

A comment seems more appropriate.

oh yeah, a comment should work

@quartata oh, I didn't consider that either... I figured the poll would suffice for that

CR edited them into the initial post calling for categories: meta.codereview.stackexchange.com/q/6379/54789

how do people find new rooms that aren't linked to from TNB? do you perma-refresh the room list? o.O

I check the site rooms button every so often because there's too many rooms to be in now

I use all rooms to check on rooms I'm not currently in

@lirtosiast Also, (provided you don't have any objections to the above plans) could you start with the Educational bounty? Because Peter is getting two bounties.

I posted the challenge.

nice :)

@MartinBüttner ping me again when it's time for mine

sure
