I'm a little bummed that somein30 is no more. It joins a long, long list of icon challenge comms that existed on LJ and DW over the last 25 years.

Since I'm already running three challenge comms, I don't feel up to running another one - the creation of the challenge/inspiration posts is always the most time-consuming part.

But then I thought to myself, what if we just did some old challenges again? Creating a new challenge comm where existing challenges from old challenge comms are re-done, one each month, from a different comm each month.

What do you think of this idea?

No, how dare you, that's stealing other people's creative challenge posts!

I think some people might not even know that older challenges exist and where to find them and if they can redo them. I guess asking wouldn't hurt as well. And I am not sure - does that mean if I go back to redo somein30 challenges, that I can't post it?

I guess what I am saying - if you want to tell people where these old challenges are - then giving credit isn't an issue.

Okay, thank you. Of course they'll be credited and linked. (And asked, for those where the admin accounts still exist and can be asked.)

It didn't occur to me to post to the old challenge comms (I'm guessing neonspider would be fine with that, in the case of somein30).

I thought of creating a new comm where all the challenges are taken from other comms. All different ones every month. And I was more thinking of really old ones, like theiconthrone, or paintedpixels . Ones I used to be a member of ten years ago and loved.
