Who would like to win a 6800Ultra?

[Russ]

i agree david, i entered both games competitions, and was going to enter the wok 1 but ate my entry

but the amount of respone is somewhat disheartening, considering the size of the community and how much its members rave about how much they love it.

so pull your finger out guys!

[Stoo]

Offer prizes people are interested in?

Or, you could just get shirty and throw all your toys out of the pram..

I was going to enter the wok competition and as soon as I have the web at home I will participate more. I thought the date for the wok was next week and as a result missed the weekend deadline.

[DR]

What I am saying is that I am happy to do bigger and better competitions but unless we see responses then it kinda gets pointless...

[Skii]

Fair play - I don't enter enough competitions admittedly, (comes from being a naturally unlucky person )

I do however tend to not attempt some of them as they require a little more technical knowledge than wot my tiny mind is capable of

I'll definately make more of an effort though.

Damn where is this wok challenge I would surely kick butt!

I see where your coming from though I hardly use some of the forums on here a bit of pimping maybe required?

Now show me where the food forum is Im hank marvin

How much more can we pimp? We could do mailshots to you guys if you want? I am happy to do this... However, we did in each forum and also on the front page

It's not rocket science, offer prizes with more appeal and you'll get more entries.
If you had a competition in a magazine "Win! Some wooden pegs!" you're not really going to get many entries, but "Win! £50!" or, "Win! A weekend break for 2 to Paris!" is going to get a hell of a lot more..

Well Ive pimped this place and a few people have joined and openly contributed to some good discussions, but some people like certain places here so much they dont like venturing out.

To be honest Ive seen people camped in bargain hunt for ages on end looking for a cheap bargain. I tend to have a look around the other forums but admitidly not all of them yet.

.. I can't believe what you are saying - Yes I agree if I did a post giving away any multitude of kit we would get responses but you know - the companies who we ask for kit say 'how have previous competitions gone?' You need to start small and work up.

But all that does is get people here who enter the competition then clear off for a few months until they see the next one. OK if you want to gain more members but not my cup of tea how a online community should be.

xactly... The competitions are not here to get members it is to reward people who spend time on the forums and put in effort.

[Skii]

David - why not do a dedicated competition section in the froum list.

Just a section with a couple of stickies you can update whenever a new competition comes out.

[Flash]

Base the competitions on things people would only know if they were long standing/loyal members

i.e. questions about reviews, favourite threads etc...

[Blub2k]

I need a wok at present and think the prizes are cool so far.

Yes, yes, I want a graphic card, and Corsairs RAM pack too, and if you happen to know someone to give un AMD64 dual set (mobo & 2 procs) well, I am your man. When ever you want 2 give away something just go And about fanboys(girls?) : Don't post, you lazy !!! Leave for the people who want to express themselfs. It should be good to put one page with polls of what kind of give-aways people would like. And I hope also that does bring more support to Hexut.net forums. These guys need this.
So, strike !!!
