mikesinner · 05-06-2011, 09:15 PM

amazon gift cards make the best prizes.

Eric · 05-06-2011, 09:41 PM

Mike that us one idea we are throwing around. That or if you are a foreign webmaster and you have a specific vendor that you know you can't get 100% delivery from we will work with you to get you a gift card from them.

GAMEFINEST · 05-06-2011, 09:52 PM

Dejan · 05-07-2011, 04:04 AM

If you want to get rid of posting whores get rid of the money prizes.

Offer something business related stuff like:
one month or three months of free hosting, or the coupon codes for hosting, scripts, content...

and as if you already promoting, hosting, script or content company you can probably get that stuff for free ;)

Klen · 05-07-2011, 04:30 AM

Ok so can i send mail to someone to get gfy swag ?Or the only way to get it is to apply for job on AVN lol

CaptainHowdy · 05-07-2011, 04:38 AM

It would great if we make this the longest thread of the month ...

The main contests we are talking about here are for the Longest Threads in a Business/Education Category and a Fucking Around Category. The only prizes for those threads would go to the thread starters, not someone posting 200 times or being the 1500th posters. No single post would be designated that it is going to be the post of the week, it will all just come down to which one ends up being the longest. So for the post whores it would all be a guessing game.

Contests could really liven this place up and I'd love to have the chance to win an iPad

However, just like the rep thing I see plenty of opportunities for abuse. My concern about the longest thread of the week is what's to stop the thread starter from constantly posting in their own thread with either a thinly veiled bump or the same regurgitated dribble. One could start a " best ass " thread and continually bump it with hot linked images off google.

Perhaps adding a rule like the thread starter can only post a maximum of 50% in their thread would help. One person with multiple fake nics causing fake drama always made for long threads but I don't see how that would be fair in a contest.

Great idea and I hope it gets thought through so everyone can have some fun

Barry-xlovecam · 05-07-2011, 07:05 AM

@Eric

Maybe vote the finalists publicly to ensure that the awards will go to "quality OPs (thread starters)" and to topics that are relevant to the members?

.

Phoenix · 05-07-2011, 07:06 AM

cool stuff...free swag is always good.
one cool shirt or hat i could keep to wear special places

longest thread? ill have to pick a fight with 9/11 nay sayers

rogueteens · 05-07-2011, 07:11 AM

i'd like to see webmaster prizes like content, scripts or hosting or something, physical prizes just attract surfers.

CyberHustler · 05-07-2011, 07:12 AM

Theo? As in the dork who acted like a pirate on here?

And I wish you guys would stop quoting posts with 10+ pics in them. Im sitting here trying to scroll past asian tits so my mother in law doesn't start asking me questions but it never ends...

Michael O · 05-07-2011, 07:18 AM

From an old contest whore.

Make the longest thread biz only and/or only count the real replies.
Award the people that have been here 5+ years with a contest of their own, no idea what or how to do it.

Its easy to get a few post whores together and win the longest thread contest avoid that. No voting for a prize it only means the guy with the most friends (paid or not) will win.

GFY/adult.com has been very generous with swag to me in the past.
I like that.

I was thinking more like, the OP post in the thread would not count other than post 1.

.

The weekly longest threads would just be which ever thread ends up being the longest for the week. Then of those four each month we would have the community vote for the best one of the month. I would think that having a business or educational version of this contest would pretty much keep it to topics that are relevant to members.

Good ideas. I disagree that it is easy to get a few post whores together and win though. I mean what happens if you do that and then on Friday someone drops a Bomb like "Manwin Shut Down by the Federal Government!" That thread would probably trump any other business related thread for the week.

OMG is this true? "Manwin Shut Down by the Federal Government!"

HardlinkSells · 05-07-2011, 12:41 PM

I think the prizes should be beneficial to an adult webmaster. Like free advertising on gfy, free scripts, hosting domains, or something along those lines. I think it will make for more quality threads.

Political posts shouldn't win lol.

I think it would be fun to have a funny picture thread in your everyday life, like take a picture of someone or something you see in everyday life that captures humor.

Something that captures beauty. Start a thread with images from a lot of webmasters, one image per thread per webmaster. Then avn picks the top five and start a voting thread and after 20 days someone wins a good prize.

brassmonkey · 05-07-2011, 01:02 PM

free ak-47 when we hit 50k post??

cam_girls · 05-07-2011, 01:37 PM
