Awww, thank you! I really appreciate the support -- and there are lots of ways to support the idea without making icons or being a mod.

One of the least time-consuming ways is as a voter -- and LIMS absolutely must have voters. Everyone has an opinion on what she does and doesn't like. Articulate people, that would be you, can explain *why* they do or don't like a particular icon. No specialist knowledge necessary. One of the reasons I enjoyed participating was that as a voter I got to finally tell makers things like, "The crop is too far away and I can't tell who the subject is!" or other forms of constructive feedback that I hoped would result in icons more like the kind I like.

LIMS stands for "Last Icon Maker Standing." It has a pool of entrants who submit an icon on a regular basis using caps provided by the moderator. Members vote on the icons they feel have the best technical merit and the least technical merit. (That is, you don't vote for the Daniel icon because it's Daniel but you might because the coloring is fabulous.)

Each time, the votes are tallied and someone is eliminated for having made the icon judged to have the least technical merit. All the participants can request their comments (publicly or screened for privacy) so they can improve. Those not eliminated go on to the next round and so on until there's only one maker left.
