There isn't a winner yet; we've got one last day of cards to vote on, and a godawful mess at the top of the leaderboard.
As far as why threads haven't been posted this month, I think it's mostly a lack of initiative, but I also think we'd be better off taking February off entirely and restarting it on March 1st.
As I've stated, I am fairly far removed from the DCC and as such I don't have much perspective to offer. However, I would like to ask a couple of questions:
1. Is there a winner for January's DCC?
2. Is this a situation where there's just a lack of initiative? Or is there an actual lack of interest in the DCC?
I don't want to see a long-standing contest (and a trophied contest, at that) die off, so please let me know what can or should be done.
1. Currently, I am leading.
2. I also think it's a lack of initiative. foo_in_the_rain did most of it, then it slowly was divided between MDenham, BlackBull, Blutsau, and MichMash. (At least, that's how I thought about it).
We're holding a final round - thanks for the initiative!
I'm definitely interested in it. However, I didn't take the initiative to post it because, as a new member, I didn't really want to be butting my way into something that seemed so established. Additionally, I have zero experience with the formatting on this forum.
I have asked MDenham and void_nothing to serve as the DCC's custodians for the time being. This means that, should another poster fail to put up the round for the current day, one of them will do it.
Also, we have agreed that due to this month missing five days already, we will NOT be holding the DCC for February. Take a break, try out some of the other fine games in the subforum. It will be back in business in March.

Welcome to the DCC!

How To Play
How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote in the day's poll, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.
Rules
Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into a poll as long as you voted. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
- Your card will not be added to the next day's poll unless you also vote in the current poll for that day (or put your vote in your post). If you vote for yourself, it will not count and your card will not be put in the next day's poll. (You only receive one warning if you fail to vote [the asterisk next to your username]; thereafter, your card will not be added if you miss voting.)
- Effective July 2nd, 2011; all who wish to have their card posted on the next day's poll are required to submit exactly two votes for two different people (neither of which are themselves). Casting fewer or more votes than such repeatedly will automatically disqualify your card for the day.
- If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card-name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
- This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread.
- Anyone can post the new thread for the day.

Each reality is but the dream of another, and each sleeper a god unknowing.
We define the boundaries of reality; they don't define us.
I offer myself for what I can be helpful for if needed. Actually, it would be useful to have me as a keeper, since I'll have free time for at least a couple more of months (and I have no problem to subject my actions to a previously discussed desition. A few days ago I just felt alone in an attempt to save DCC from drowning, so did what I could. Just that.)
Whatever saves one of the two most iconic contests in the custom card forums from oblivion. Amen.
