Summer 2012 Contests with cash prizes! - Thor - 06-18-2012
Instead of a single contest, we have decided to go with 3 contests simultaneously this time! It will give everyone a better chance to win something.
Contest #1 - Most Popular Threads
Prize - $15 USD in cash
* Whoever can create the highest number of most interesting and popular threads will be the winner.
Create as many as you can if you think your topics will be interesting enough to attract many replies. The popularity of a thread will be judged by the number of good replies. Don't worry if your topic is a newbie question. In fact, we encourage it. If it attracts good informative answers, then it is a good thread.
Contest #2 - The most informative answers
Prize - $15 USD in cash
* Whoever can have the highest number of good/informative replies will be the winner. Do your little homework before making a reply unless you know your stuff already, your answer will be more informative than you just simply write off your mind.
The number of replies alone will not be the decisive factor. Only the number of high quality replies will be counted.
Contest #3 - The most recruits
Prize - $1 x the number of referrals.
* Whoever can recruit most members will be the winner.
Make sure whoever you recruit will add your user name in the "referral" box when they sign up. Or they will not be counted.
There is no limit on how many people you can recruit. However, only those members (you recruited) who have made at least 10 quality posts and are still active by the time of picking the winner will be counted. Inactive members will not be included.
*Do not attempt to cheat. Staff members can see your IP addresses and other information which can identify you if you have made multiple accounts yourself in an attempt to pretend they are real people you recruited. Any attempt to cheat in a contest will result in permanent ban from the forum. Play nice!
The contests start now, and it will end at the end of August.
All statistics will be collected through June 17 to August 31.
Each person can win multiple contests if he/she deserve it.
The winners will be announced in early September.
All prize money will be in US dollar sent through Paypal only. If you do not yet have a Paypal account, you can sign up one for free.
Forum staff reserve the right to cancel any of the contests if they see fit. Such as the lack of participation, abuse of the system/rules, and other reasons. If a cancellation shall take place, it will be announced at least one week before the end of the contests.
We may also change the rules if it is absolutely necessary for the fairness of the contests. All updates will be posted as replies in this thread at the same time of editing the primary post. We suggest you check this thread at least once a week if you are really going for it..
If you have any question or concern about these 3 contests, feel free to ask questions here in this thread.
