I had mentioned in a earlier thread that Rick fom Doxa has graciously donated a few of Dr.Millars new Doxa Book to 3T ...Many Thanks to Rick,Doc Pete and Doxa S.A The staff has been discussing ways to use the books in contests....one being a photo Contest(naturally) but another idea to get new members as well as our well seasoned members to post was a Contest for the "member with the most posts in 10days!" To enter all a member would have to do is post in the thread which will read "Doxa Book Contest" which will automatically show and lock the amount of posts you have at that time...you must post in this thread to be eligible....for the next 10 days members can post as usual in any thread as well as use the contest thread for a little competitive fun At the end of 10 days all who entered will have their posts counted and the 3T member with the most posts at the end of 10 days wins an "advanced copy" of the Doxa Book The opinions we need are for a Start and End Time as we have members from around the World here at 3T in different time zones....so this thread is open for members to chime in...We would like to start this contest ASAP so let's here what everyone has to say |

The POW winner should receive a coplientary book immediately. A DOXA photo contest...YES!! AndI don't like the post count contest... it smacks of the forums where post count is King and ecourages members to be little more than post whores... JMHO See next post for examples of post whoring... Last edited on Wed May 2nd, 2007 12:16 pm by Paxman |

It's not meant to be "where posts are king":D it's meant to encourage members who don't post out and get involved in the forumhand6.gif and a good example of a post that won't count is above watch2.gif...TY Pax |

I am the post whore king! I shall bow out of this competition to make way for new members who will post. Maybe the contest should exclude some of us? Its a nice book, but maybe the contest should be for new members only. I would love to watch the competition and participate as a instigator to keep the posts coming in? |

As long as you are still kicking this around, how about making your contest DOXA specific? Create a temporary Doxa forum and require posters to come up with at least 5 interesting facts about the company or their watches (in one post). After the 5 facts post, the more posts posted, the greater the chances to win. Run it for a couple of weeks and then pick a winner. |

Here's my opinion............. As far as the contest....make it a Timetechtalk WIS of the month.......let forum members nominate individuals, then we can vote..give a small prize and a space achievment |

Actually, PAX, I'd call you a whore, but as a Bear's fan, saying that to a Packer's fan is..........redundant!!!! Note: As an Admin, I will remove myself from the contest...mostly so I can objectively poke fun at everyone else!!!  |

Great ideas!... and I have been collecting (and being contacted) with prizes to handle quite a few contestshand6.gif I would like to see some type of contest to initiate new members who may not have had a good reason to post as of yet along with our regulars as one ideawatch2.gifI was also contacted by a rep from Pentax Camera who was especially fond (actually he thought it was an Awesome idea)of our Daily Wrist Check and Weekly Pic Contest and would like to donate a Pentax Camera!!!....and to think someone on another forum said our daily wrist checks and pic of the week was Lame So keep the ideas coming... |
