josephp - anyone interested is just going to wait around till post 24... maybe next time you should pick a random post? or do it for the user who comes up with the best marketing idea or something that encourgaes more interaction?

just a thought

I don't need the hosting either but was wondering.

Is that the 25th post including your first post or not?

Post 10 or 11 depending on the answer to the previous question. :)

And I am sure everyone interested is wondering what type of plan it is.

5 megs with 50 megs of bandwidth?

or

200 megs and 5 gigs of bandwidth?

Wow, I could really use some hosting myself - my last host went horrible.

spam post to speed things up... ;)

that's what i was trying to do.

i was going to spam to 25, but found out they have flood protection.

vipe
12-18-2001, 09:40 PM
I wonder how fast this thread would go if the poster number was higher than 25, talk about setting a new thread record.

All I know is I hope I get it! *prays*

vipe ;-)

doomgazer
12-18-2001, 09:41 PM
lol, depends on the hosting plan really (which i imagine is decent, seeing as it looks like an honorable company giving it away).

besides, i think i'll get it. i'm bored and a spammer.

UNIXIELHOST
12-18-2001, 09:43 PM
You are only allow ONE post, I will not count repeatly, becuase it is not fair and I think it is right. Sorry

The package will be announced when 25th post hits :D

How can I read your last post when we posted at the same time? You cant go and change the rules around after you set them. Now the people that posted at first will not be able to win. They didnt know that. That is not fair. I don't care if I dont win but what about the people that already posted before you changed the rules around. They lost there chance without warning. Its your show so you run it how you like but you are running an unfair one.

doomgazer
12-18-2001, 09:51 PM
i wish you would have mentioned that in your first post. :(

oh well, hopefully someone deserving will get it. good luck everyone!

UNIXIELHOST
12-18-2001, 09:53 PM
My point, if you keep post more than 1, its like cheating

I think 1 per member is more serious that way

Sorry for inconveince

One Web
12-18-2001, 09:53 PM
If you posted that in the first one no on will ever post since who ever gets the first post will never be able to win so they will wait until 24 other idiots post and loss there chance of winning. Which might never happen

Argh!

Your Christmas Special looks good. Is there a price lock on your xmas plan? I might sign up anyhow, how about a consolation prize for changing the rules on us? Just a thought...

TedS

josephp - it would seem your idea si fully flawed. if each member is limited to 1 post then atleast 20 memebrs would have to sacrifice their chance in order for there to be a 25th post.

think of it like this, i posted one of the early posts (i dont need the hosting it i wanted to comment on the idea). while there may be 5 or 6 other people who post just to help others out, you'd be lucky to end up with 10 posts. then you have 15 more psots needed before a winner is announced.

however, if i can post only once then why would i make post #11? after all... i have no chance to win and am better off hopping somoene else posts but no one else wants to be post #11 either.

in short there is no way the post count would reach 25 unless numerous people posted sacrifical posts just to help others and even then, its ahrd to see 20 plus people doing that when it means loosing the chance to having something for free.

prehaps a better model would be to limit the number of posts to substian posts or to non-spam posts. if i post twice making a comment and then again as #25, that seems fine where as if i post 5 times in a row it is not.

but again, the entire idea is flawed since people are trying to reach a number and not under any standard. a far better contest would ask for ideas, ask for people to make something benefical to you or some form of contest measured either on near randomness or on merritt.

ps sorry about the spelling errors

on a side note, its interesting to see how many people really are kind enough to just post and help another out. im sure a shrink could have a career just reading this post

Please change the offer to the 25th person who contacts you directly. Having it be the 25th person who posts will just result in a thread about absolutely nothing.
