Snappy Description Contest!

Postby HarpingCarp » Thu Apr 18, 2013 7:13 pm

In case you guys missed it, we have finally have our shiny new rep system up and running. So, in celebration, here's our first contest!

We're looking for a "Short and Snappy" description for our little forum-community (forummunity). If you've been around here or at the Cracked comment section for a while, you'll probably have a great idea what TheCommentSection means to all of us.

You might get your description placed underneath our link in search engines. We're looking for a metadata description, which is... a description that appears in search results, like I just said. The theory is, with this description, people will be more likely to click on the link rather than thinking "what is this and why should I care?" and moving on to the many other comment section related goods the internet has to offer.

Your entries need to be 150 characters or less, anything above that will be rejected and laughed at by JamesT asked to be worked on again kindly, with a hug. You guys get to post and vote on any number of entries you want. At the end of the contest, the mods will handpick the 10 best entries and put it on a poll, for you guys to decide!

The winner gets 15 rep points, a coloured user name under the group "Contest Champ", bragging rights to have come up with our meta description and an optional date with the lovely typical_michael*.


Contest ends 23rd April at 23:59 [UTC-5].

*FAKE ADMIN EDIT: We can't vouch for Michael's availability or whereabouts.

There's one more thing about winning this contest: You might get your description placed underneath our link in search engines. We're looking for a metadata description, which is... a description that appears in search results, like I just said. For example, if you search for Maddox, the description is "The many opinions of an insulting pirate named Maddox."

The theory is, with this description, people will be more likely to click on the link rather than thinking "what is this and why should I care?" and moving on to the many other comment section related goods the internet has to offer.

I believe our description should be something like "A forum and community for people who enjoy creating funny things."

I am not a wordsmith.

TCS began as an anomaly, a small section of a larger website forced into the world. They now bring their terrifying commenting powers into the wilds of the internet. God save us all.


Ooooh, I just read you wanted 150 or less characters not words. I am not a readsmith either.
