I think instead of worrying if the forum will come back, we should have a backup forum(like those free forums you can get easily) so that if it so happens that the forums have to go down for mantenence or if they stop working for longer then during NSC 25 we can all just head to the other forum and continue there.

I just thought it might be a good idea if it ever happens that the forum is down for more then a couple of hours (Like a few days)

It probably won't ever be down for that long....but it would be nice to have the option.

Well, it's not a bad idea, I suppose You never know, but if the forum's current problems are sorted out then it might not happen again in the future, but, like I say, you never know

Well I stumbled across this recently
http://www.phpbbserver.com/esctodayforum/
So maybe they already have a backup forum planned

No no no...Haha.

I created that forum just to "reserve" the name. How did you find that? Haha. It was not planned as a backup forum just to protect the name to avoid confusion.

Oh OK

Well, we could always give it a second purpose

And I found it cos I'd lost the forum link, so I googled 'esctodayforum' and that was the first result

Recent issue that just popped up yesterday:

What exactly is the rule regarding a nation changing their votes in an NSC event?

I had always assumed that, as long as you were in the deadline, you could change your mind on your votes as many times as you liked. It's only natural that songs can grow on and off you over the week, and as a voting country, you want your votes to be most representative of what you think of the songs at the end of the week.

However, there's also the argument that changing your votes puts a lot of pressure on the host, especially if they're making their final scoreboards as soon as they get the votes, and a vote-change would mean having to change a whole set of scoreboards...

Anyway, I was just wondering what the official stance on this is (if there is one), for clarification of this rule

I assumed that once you send your votes to the host those are your final votes
except if you have some mistake in them (as missing points) ... other than that, having a rule about chaninging your votes during the voting week will just be pointless...and yes much more work for the host!
so if you are undecided about your votes just vote close to the deadline I say

Well, for the Countries Spinoff, I made most of the scoreboards pretty soon after I got the votes, and I would have been really 'screwed' had anyone wanted to change their votes. So I would agree with Boyan, being a host is hard work as it is, even without having to edit a load of scoreboards because of a change in the votes.

One of the reasons why Yaponesia always does

Well i didn't allow anyone to change the votes,and won't do so.

Maybe only to switch 1,and 2 points or something similar,so a small change,but other that no.

Unless it was a genuine typing error or something I would not allow those votes, if you know you're going to be like that then don't vote until you're sure, it's just annoying and confusing for a host when someone is voting more than once...

Absolutely agree!

That goes for the final as well,if it is a typing error i will accept the edit,but if someone sends me completely new votes,i won't accept them.

Amen. Everything is already said, just adding to the score.

changing of votes denotes lack of seriousness in what you're doing.. One should listen to the song a couple of times to decide which 10 songs should be awarded points. The decision should be taken seriously so there would be no regrets.


i feel like i'm a president or a prime-minister the way i'm talking

Hi to all...How can i find all Nation's Flags

I actually am looking for them too ...
so is it posible to have a thread about the current NSC flags ??? not the NSC logos (as we have them all on the wiki page) but the original flags in a good quality ???
maybe all nsc-ers can post their flags in a thread so we gonna have them all in one place

Mine is on the first post of my topic...

i need someone with a kind heart that writes me a wiki for Comino, i will write everything and he just has to input it on wiki as somehow it's still difficult for me to do

i'll write it all in Word and with the links and pictures and all .. thank-you

just give me time.. i haven't started

The entry list has been brought up to date, including all entries as of NSC 27.

i ahve added final of nsc29 at entry list

I almost never come to this thread, I don't know what made me come here now

Emre and others...
I've collected most of the flags, and updated the Wikia page - http://nsc.wikia.com/wiki/Flags
The rest of flags I didn't find... If you have them, put them there, so we can have it all on one place

And about changing the votes... I completely agree No changing, listen to the songs many times if needed, but when you vote once, you've done your job, no change.

wow thnx for the Flags Ervine
hope we gonna have them all of them there soon

Boyan wrote:wow thnx for the Flags Ervine

Amen. Really awesome to see all other flags!

How would you feel to update the NSC Forum Description from "Hallo Welt" to something different. Maybe more related to NSC? Or do you like the short and sweet descrpition?
Let us know and share your ideas.

I don't even know why it has 'Hallo Welt' there
