Honestly, how poor do you have to be in order to be a "contest whore?"
 
I'm looking through contest threads and 100s of guys in there are posting like tweekers trying to get a couple of bucks. It made me think about how broke you really have to be to spend DAYS trying to win $50.

You contest dudes should learn the trade and spend your time making sites. You'd made more money. :2 cents:

Konda 11-21-2008 03:38 AM

I think a lot of them are from third world countries where $50 is more than an average person makes a month.

Socks 11-21-2008 03:41 AM

I made a post in one of those one day making fun of the people posting...

And I won $50 somehow. Guess it's worth someones time.

How broke do those thai girls have to be to be sucking your dick for money? ;)

contests are fun specially when you have an extra time to join, win or lose you can show your talent to other prospect clients who might need your design services. just my 2 cents.

Yes, it definitely shows your board whoring skills.

XPays 11-21-2008 03:56 AM

if you run a contest you will see that the pros win more than once, so they are earning $xxx in many cases

HomerSimpson 11-21-2008 03:57 AM

contests used to be fun, so beside increasing your post count and having opportunity to gain some cash, you could have some fun too... now days it's just bumpin' for cash and nothing more...

Um I hope you are thinking about legitimate design contest threads and not the same keyboard masturbation of typing bump it up, to the top threads.

Yeah maybe, but there is minimum payouts, so how exactly do they get cashed out without actually promoting that program? :warning:warning:warning

Jens Van Assterdam 11-21-2008 04:00 AM

Congrats on the launch! Bump for a great program!!!

Jens Van Assterdam 11-21-2008 04:00 AM

Bump #101 is next!! Good luck everyone!!!

No there rarely is not. Even if there is, just win more than once with same company and walla you have reached the minimum payout. Typically though it is just free money that will be paid out to keep the damn thread at the top of the board.

Jens Van Assterdam 11-21-2008 04:01 AM

Great job! Heres a bump for u!!!!!!!!

Malicious Biz 11-21-2008 04:01 AM

Ignore the haters contest whores; do yo thang.

Jens Van Assterdam 11-21-2008 04:02 AM

Awesome! Lets bring this back to the top! Great job!

nah

most of them are simply lazy fuckers.

The countries where people make on average $50 are no more than 10 in the World, if you can get internet there AT ALL it will probably cost you at least $200 for a severely capped version, add electricity etc and that dude will have to make at least $500 just to get by

people are so confused when it comes to poor countries - look the dudes in country A live on $70 a month, with $300 per month I'll live like a king, total bull, you'll probably need at least $1500 to live OK, of course you can live on $70 - in a shack, no electricity, no sanitation, and that's if you share the shack with 6 other people

Not broke enough to spend all day in a contest thread.

Iron Fist 11-21-2008 04:41 AM

To the top....

DWB 11-21-2008 04:49 AM

Jetting for a win!

MrMaxwell 11-21-2008 04:50 AM

I played two or three of them last month.. won one, got paid, won in another and got fucked.. it stopped being fun when they didn't post a winner list or respond to any of us for well over a month.

That will teach me to allow myself to "have fun".. I am usually against it.

MrMaxwell 11-21-2008 04:50 AM

PS: Thanks TCG.. good company... solid

Nicky 11-21-2008 05:15 AM

Jetting to the top haha

played once, won once, was fun, trafficgigolos never pay, lost fun.

JamesK 11-21-2008 05:37 AM

It's not about being broke, it's about having no business sense. Those people don't realize they can make way more money doing something serious.

AnalProbe 11-21-2008 06:11 AM

In the last 4 years, I have won 3 times, and all 3 times the money went straight to charity.

no hard feelings

natron 11-21-2008 06:22 AM

offtopic

i have a joke "A gunman entered in a petshop at the top of a block up to the clouds and scream: - I have a bomb in 30 seconds to get everybody out! From the bottom of the store can hear a turtle: - Why you are an motherfucker?"

bump for this thread :pimp

Brujah 11-21-2008 06:27 AM

If I don't win $50 today, my boss will beat me. I will get fired, and my family will go hungry. :(

Klen 11-21-2008 06:27 AM

For most of them that is only income,but i notice some regular webmasters there too.So they either pretend to be webmasters,or they have bots to shoot proper post.I never won anything in those contest except where knowledge is requied not luck.Any contest where is knowledge requied i will win.I still remember how i won xbiz contest where it was requied to post last before 12:00 at gfy time.So i setup my local clock to gfy time,installed atomic clock,and posted exactly 11:59:59:59.
No match for that.
