Diggers, next contest should launch Monday or Tuesday. FYI...
We've decided to do something a bit different this time...
One of the things contests are good for, is helping to drive new memberships. However, one of the bad things is...
Sometimes some people join a site just for the chance to win something, and that's it. They're simply 'In it to win it', with no intention of becoming an integral part of our community. As the admin here, while it does bother me, it's an understandable part of the larger forum puzzle...a cost of doing business. But...
It's not really fair to our longtime, more established members. So...
We're going to have TWO separate drawings this time around. The first, only for new forum members, and the second, for established members. The latter contest for the established guys will be locked, and only certain members with a minimum post count will be eligible. Don't worry, if you've been on here for a few months and are even a somewhat active member, you'll be fine.
I think this way is fair, and gives back to the members who put in the most
Got a couple of COOL prizes!!!
