    Default Contest on IndiaBroadband.net

    Hi every one

    Just been a bit confused... if we were to start a contest what do you think would be the best prize?

    We dont have a massive budget but would try and accomodate as many prizes as possible.. and still keeping them attractive enough.

    It would be something like 20 prizes (its not decided yet) so it would be great if you could please vote for what should the gifts be.

    Please also leave your comments on what the contest should be.

    Sorry I forgot to add in my post ... I am also looking for ideas about the contest.. Please post your thoughts about what sort of contest can we have.

    The contest needs to be straight farward and also easy to manage.

    I have no Ideas on that. I don't like getting prizes for something which I don't think I deserve. I think the contest should be something that challenges a persons skills not knowledge. Because you can get answers for almost any questions from internet. But still I will select Laptops, Ipods, Xbox360 or Playstation(any one of them), Camcorders and Printer scanner.

    We will wait for the masters of Ideas. (J4X and Indiabroadband police). :lol:

    U set the trend... I couldn't resist anything below 8 too...

    @ Admin

    We can have a contest for maximum number of posts for each of the section... So that geeks can get reward for their hard work in tech related sections... and people like Navgemi can get real recognition for their work in the Jokes n humor section... and noobs like me who spread their legs in every section can strive for maximum overall no. of posts... but do I have it in me to beat smoothvibes? Perhaps not...

    how about having a contest where people reach a certain number of posts for example:

    first one to reach 10,000 posts - prize laptop
    second one to reach 10,000 posts - desktop

    and so on!

    The reason im saying this is because this will keep the excitement going on instead of an instant thing.

    But of course there should be rules and regulations with this contest!

    Are you talking about of a website with lot of virus/spam or a website with ridiculous design.

    Ok maybe 5000 posts, because you have to consider the prizes as well, their not cheap!

    No matter what you do, you have to put some dedication and effort into it.

    Don't you think it would difficult for individual sections, i think it would be good if all posts were included, apart from the general off topic discussions section and suggestions and complaints section.

    If it was just one section then people would just concentrate on one section and not post on others and therefore it would mean that their would be a wide range and variety of posting, after all it is one forum.

    And one more point say for example if someone was in the lounge section, it would easy for them as they can just copy and paste recipes and jokes, which would mean its unfair to others. (i also think that the jokes and recipes section should be excluded or have a regulation against it too).

    We have to remember that everything has to be fair for everyone!

    What makes you think people will come on the forum to spam because of this, its going to be something normal, its not going to attract spammers,

    Its logic that spammers will be banned as usual, they wont count towards the contest!

    You don't make sense in what your saying!

    Ok.. I understand ur point... but don't u think this move will discourage people from posting in other sections which u just mentioned... As we all agreed few days back... To improve this forum we needed few more non-techie sections... In a way, its been done to invite more non-techie people to join this forum... Technically, this forum is not hard-core tech related nemore... I don't mind that... But I don't want the members who joined here just to interact with people in sections like "The Lounge" to be left out of the race.... That won't do justice...

    You saw the smilie. I was half kidding. :lol: Don't get me wrong. I don't think your Idea was bad. But if people start to post for the prize the quality of the posts will decrease. People will write what ever they what (I am not talking about the regulars) to increase the number of posts. Each posts should to be helpful/useful to others. Right ? This is my thought.
