Update: Here Ye, Here Ye, I messaged DUK wondering if he needed a hand righting his acceptance speach, I'm waiting to here back about the next Smackdown. Otherwise, If DUK is unavailable and does not appoint someone,as to keep the momentum up, I will nominate the the Silver Winner as the host of the next smackdown.

Thanks guys, and grats to all...
I will give the next smack down some thought (I have been working but off today, and not had much of a chance to get online recently)
I am happy for silver to host if he has any idea's, if not I will try to think of something...

I had a think about it and nothing jumps out at me as a particularly interesting subject...if anyone else has an idea and wants to host feel free.

I would hate to see the smackdowns come to and end. Isn't there anyone that wants to host the next one? I would but I'm already hosting the 1-207.

I would suggest Eng as the silver medalist in this Smackdown. The thing is our ranks have thinned out. Many of the ancient guys have begun the great migration after the fall of the Bing Empire.

Who else has left? Bing was a great asset to the forum and I will miss his knowledge, experience, and fellowship. But this forum is bigger than one person and should not crumble because he is gone. I hope someone will step up and start a new smackdown.

I like topical subjects and Friday brings February, Quote:
February was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar. Quote:
The Februa festival, which occurred in February was basically one of Spring washing or cleaning relating to purging 'bad things' or 'sins'. Its possible todays 'Spring cleaning' is related. How about coins showing water or symbolising cleaning or purification? Too tough? Thoughts? |

I little late but if started tomorrow could just count. Quote:
January (in Latin, Ianuarius) is named after Janus, the god of the doorway; the name has its beginnings in Roman mythology, coming from the Latin word for door (ianua) since January is the door to the year. How about doorways? Might see a lot of campgates but thats fine by me, again, thoughts? |

Any coin showing a god/goddess we haven't done yet?
Christian symbols?
Monograms?
Anything showing soldiers?
Foward-facing (and 3/4 facing) busts?
IDK just some thoughts.

I'm happy to start one up tomorrow (would prob go for the doorway theme) and could maybe try to re-invigorate the setup with a nice starting write-up.
I'm also very happy to step aside for anyone else who might want to have a go, please give us your thoughts guys, both those who are still interested and those who might be.

If you all want to continue the Smackdowns.
I have an idea for coins from the places called Antioch, which could yield a wide variety of coins, since ancients were made there for about 900 years or more.
