Title: [Archived]Referral Contest!


DK - January 11, 2006 10:58 PM (GMT)
GTAC is now going to be holding a Referral Contest.

FAQ:

What exactly is it?
A contest in which members compete to bring the most people to the site.

Cool. So, what do you win?
The winner will become part of the 'Gangsta' group, and in addition, may choose one forum of their choice to moderate. (Excluding News sections)

So how do we know who referred who?
Members will have people they referred post an introduction topic and note somewhere in their post who referred them.

But what if people cheat!?
Not going to happen, if you are caught making another account and saying you referred them you will be disqualified from the contest. Using Proxies will also result in disqualification.


So that's how it will work. Everyone go out and compete. :)

Current Standings:

Australian Prick: 1 Point
Jimbo Macca: 1 Point
Strike One: 1 Point
Purge: 2 points

Did you really have to post that?

Kingturtle2007 - January 11, 2006 11:15 PM (GMT)
Well this is a forum, a place where you can post what you think about the topic.
I wasn't interested so I posted that. :ph43r: :ph43r:

Strike One - January 11, 2006 11:54 PM (GMT)
Ok i'll try it.

Kingturtle2007 - January 12, 2006 12:13 AM (GMT)
Ok, let's see how our new member is at with getting people to join. :ph43r: :ph43r:

Australian Prick - January 12, 2006 07:05 AM (GMT)
So who invited purge?

Jimbo - January 12, 2006 04:53 PM (GMT)

Why don't you pm him and find out? :ph43r: :ph43r:

Australian Prick - January 13, 2006 06:36 AM (GMT)
I think i did. But no need to be pushy...

pumpkin head - January 13, 2006 09:15 AM (GMT)
I think I remember you telling him on PGTA that you had a PM for him.

Jimbo - January 13, 2006 06:07 PM (GMT)
I invited a member called dark

DGM - January 13, 2006 08:03 PM (GMT)
Good job, Jimbo :thumbs up:

Sabretooth - January 13, 2006 10:53 PM (GMT)
Although this competition is a good idea, I think its a bit overused. You should try thinking of more original ones.

Kingturtle2007 - January 14, 2006 01:35 AM (GMT)
Yeah this is a good idea since it also helps the forum bigger. :ph43r: :ph43r:

stevebabs - January 14, 2006 01:42 AM (GMT)
sure like remember what happened last time

Kingturtle2007 - January 14, 2006 01:46 AM (GMT)
Well, let's not make the same mistake. :ph43r: :ph43r:

GG - January 14, 2006 06:03 AM (GMT)
I'll bring one person.

Dont belong to too many other forums. Also havent been able to post as much at all this week (posted once on thursday) or future weeks so i cant really help as member joining concerns.

THIS FORUM CAN GROW!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYA!

Kingturtle2007 - January 14, 2006 05:07 PM (GMT)
And why can't you post as much as before? :ph43r: :ph43r:

Strike One - January 14, 2006 08:03 PM (GMT)
One person isn't enough.
Let me show you amateurs how it's done. :P

DK - January 15, 2006 10:29 PM (GMT)
I updated the first post with the current standings, let's get rolling everyone.

Kingturtle2007 - January 15, 2006 10:55 PM (GMT)
All right then Strike one, let's see what you can do. :ph43r: :ph43r:

DK - January 23, 2006 05:32 AM (GMT)
So much for this contest. I guess this forum isn't going to grow considering how lazy you guys are. We're offering a mod spot here and you guys don't fight for it!?

Kingturtle2007 - January 23, 2006 07:26 PM (GMT)
I already know that I'm not going to become a mod, and if I do soon I would be de-modded. :ph43r: :ph43r:

Strike One - January 24, 2006 12:16 AM (GMT)
Dk I will try spring break or when ever i'm not soo busy.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

Australian Prick - January 24, 2006 05:58 AM (GMT)
I've sent about 60 pm's and only one person has joined. WHY I SAY?!

Purge - February 1, 2006 01:49 AM (GMT)
Question: Is this still running?

Second Question: Am I eligble - as one of the 3 people who actually joined as a result of this contest, does that mean that I'm not allowed to enter?

Third question: Are there any post requirements - eg the new members have to make x number of posts?

And when you say 'proxies' what do you mean?

It's still going on, and sure you could join. Also they have to at least make a introduction post saying you brought them. Proxies are used to change your Ip Address so you can register a new account yourself.

Purge - February 1, 2006 02:40 AM (GMT)
I referred Kapusta. That's a point for me

Australian Prick - February 3, 2006 06:11 AM (GMT)
I must have pm'ed hundreds of people but only purge listened... WAAAAAHAHAHA! :(

Jedihunter - February 3, 2006 06:31 AM (GMT)
I bet you a 1970 Silver Half dollar that whoever advertised at my forum will get banned withen a few months at least.

I am not very good at advertising, but I try when i have the chance.

Sweet - February 3, 2006 06:34 AM (GMT)
I advitised on a site with 350 members and only 420 posts but i got banned

Jedihunter - February 3, 2006 06:39 AM (GMT)
Speaking of which, you didnt PM Advertise on that forum ( Mine ) Did you? If you did, your as good as banned.

Australian Prick - February 3, 2006 06:46 AM (GMT)
What forum is yours so i know?

Jedihunter - February 3, 2006 06:47 AM (GMT)
Filefronts Gaming forums.
Chances are if you post more threads there they will close them, becauses theres 3 already.

Sweet - February 3, 2006 07:15 AM (GMT)
I did Advertise at filefront today sorry :(

And, I've already reffered someone so you've lost the advantage you gained anyway.

HAH.

Just a question, how long does this competition run for, and what happens if we remain tied?

pumpkin head - February 3, 2006 12:21 PM (GMT)
If you tie, then you have to fight in mud until one of you gives up :P
