Welcoming even more hackathon participants and new members to the TRON Forum as of 2023-08-01T00:30:00Z:
@Kojopapo @Sam.B @isharif @Seshat @crhodes2 @web3deb @mysticShub @Hrushi
We are happy to have you join the Season 5 of the Grand HackaTRON and can’t wait to see what you build.
Now that you have been approved, be sure to take the next step to post your project in the TRON DAO Forum and tag it with one of the relevant tags: Web3, DeFi, Artistry, AI and Builder.
Yh very true, most people will wait and come in last claiming they were busy building, just take a day off to register your presence in the forum.
Come twice or thrice to answer questions. Thats all
The heat is on. More fire 
Last season the team did a marvelous job, i know this season too you are doing same. No wonder @Sirluke raised a concern when the days were extended for the submissions.
Please lets not extend it this season again. If people can deliver based on the set timelines, how do we expect them to deliver anything at all.
I know the team will do the needful this season. If you dont follow the rules, you try next season. Thank you 
You all are highly welcome, we can’t wait to see what you guys are cooking
Doesn’t even need a day off. They can do it in 30 minutes. The post on the forum is pretty much a copy paste from what they have to post on the other platform.
This time they will be no time extension imo. 3 months to apply is more than enough. And if they want to get the community to vote for them, the earlier the better.
If it doesn’t work, next season will be daily reminders 
Does the team plan to check if current participants have already participated before and if they products are still running?
Would be a good idea imo to let the community know before the voting period which persons have already participated, maybe won a prize and if the dapps and websites are still running or not.
The extension last season was mainly due to many participants did not get the permission to post on the forum on time.
Even a snail can apply on time with this three months grace period.
And just as you said, if the weekly reminder does not work this time around then nothing really will work.
You made a very good point, there has been a lot of cash grabs in the hackathons. Many developers, after winning a prize in the hackathon, abandon their projects and some lack the motivation to work on their existing project to succeed. Whenever there is another hackathon, you will see them coming up with another project that they will still abandon after winning another prize. I believe it will be appropriate if the TronDAO team should start limiting developers from participating in hackathons, with a new project, if there has not been significant growth in the previous project they won a prize with.
This has been seen reoccurring.
I think it’s a good idea for the TronDAO team to start limiting developers from participating in hackathons if there has not been significant growth in the previous project they won a prize with. This would help to ensure that only serious developers who are committed to their projects are able.
But, guess what?
What if the abandoned their previous cash grab project and enter new session with a new identity?.
For the identified cash grab project, just my opinion.
If possible to create a blacklist of developers who have been caught abandoning their projects. This would prevent them from participating in future hackathons.
JUST POV
Most project owners in the hackathon are just here for the cash grabs. Always dropping in with new projects whiles they abandon the old one entirely.
I think when coming up with a new project, it should have a link or relationship with the old project you have presented previously.
Taking @TronNinjas for instance, their nft has a link with their energy market place as revenues generated from the NRG energy market are used as dividends for those holding their nft, their tronhub tried to bring all the projects they have done in one place and now their wallet will create utility for their tokens, nft and the likes.
So their projects are in someway intertwined in the best way possible and none is in isolation.
I think the team should look into that, if a project cant be woven in a way that brings a developers work under one umbrella, then it shouldn’t be considered.
I totally agree with you all.
And I think in order to get more submissions on the forum, the below statement should be put at the start, as developers coming from HackerEarth may miss this important detail, as experienced in the previous season.
Still it is the responsibility of participants to read rules carefully before entering the hackaTRONs.
Humans always make mistakes. They can create new accounts. At some point they’ll get caught.
You said it right. Participants have to read the rules. All the rules. And comply with them 
It’s possible they do this but trust me, they will surely be caught at some point, especially during prize distribution. And any project caught in such act should be blacklisted.
Exciting to have such a great intuitive by Tron family. Cheers…
Season 5 is here lets start building. im ready
Thank You So much @Gordian . I am very much excited for this season with new Ideas to push our Tron family to Next Level.
