Is the Sunshine Challenge Still Alive?

[florianschild]

I believe the mod of sunshine_challenge is inactive. It looks like the comm hasn't updated since 2023. Does anyone know if the challenge is still hosted elsewhere? Or, if not, would people be interested in a reboot? I loved modding the Snowflake Challenge so much, I'd consider picking up the Sunshine Challenge too!

I'd be interested in the reboot - the one thing that could be an issue is getting access to the original community as there's only the former mod with admin rights (the original mod had been reluctant to give full admin rights to anyone else as apparently someone had completely deleted another community in the past. While it was suggested making someone a co-admin a couple of years ago, there weren't any takers at the time and it came to nothing) so it might end up being a case of it being hosted somewhere else.

Having helped out with it in the past, I'd be happy to help with it again, although there are a few dates in July when I'm on holiday and will be online a lot less.

Thanks for that input! I noticed the original mod was the only admin, which is unfortunate. Are you still able to access the sunshine_challenge_mods community? I'm curious if there's anything in there that would be helpful in planning the new round.

Thank you so much for the offer, and yes I'd be so happy to have your help! I've created the new comm here: sunshine_revival and mod comm membership can be requested: sunshine_revival_mods. <3

I can still view the old entries (just can't post to it) so yes I can help with that - there's guidelines for comment mods, brainstorming for themes/wording of challenge posts.

In the past the original mod had been the one to post all the challenges to the comm, (everyone else would pick one from the agreed seven prompts and draft the wording, and then would help with the commenting on participants' posts) - don't know whether you'd want to carry on that way or to have it more like Snowflake with more people being able to post the challenges?

The days I'm away in Edinburgh and less online are 3rd to 7th July, but at the moment I'm around for all the rest of the summer (will let you know if that changes - there's talk of a possible family party at one point but that might fall on a weekend that won't affect the challenge).
