Crazy For Feet Forum

Guys, i am now able to give ONE 30 days FREE premium account with Rapid Share. It's possible that i'll be able to do that again once a month or something like that.

I would like to do a some sort of contest, so that we can "spice up" a little bit the forum. But i can't think of anything.
So...any ideas? What kind of contest we could do every now and then?

I'm open to suggestions as i don't really have a clue on what it could be!

That's great!

My suggestion would be to give it to someone that posts a lot of clips and contributes a lot. A few names come to mind, but I won't list them and risk upsetting others. There are a select few that are constantly posting video clips. I'm sure you have an idea on who these folks are.

I realize this is subjective, but I really can't think of any types of contests.

A reward to someone who helps the community a lot? Yes...that could really be a good option... even if i was looking for something more funny... that's what a contest would be... but i can't think of anything

I can't think of any contest. Just give it to a person who is active and has contributed a lot for the month, but make it a different person each month. My vote goes to Okmerlin for those great comics hes been adding.

wow, thanks footsiefreak

Whoever sends in the best shoeplay or footsie video wins.

Very good idea Nyllover. This should provide some additional incentive. Some thoughts:

As far as videos I can see a couple of ways you can go. You can announce a formal competition that runs from 1 August to 15 August. All videos submitted during that time will be subject to a vote that you can tally on 16 August. The best video wins the prize.

Or

You can accept nominations from members on who they think should win, based on the nominated members contributions. Most nominations or votes wins.

For future contests a few ideas come to mind offhand.

1. Caption a vidcap. Funniest caption wins the prize.
2. Newbies only. Members who have never posted before are the only ones eligible to win. They must recount their first or best experience. Vote on best submission wins.
3. Design a new/alternate website logo. It's not something you'd have to use all the time but perhaps display the winning entry for a month after the contest.

I wouldn't suggest a photoshop contest because not everyone has that capability (it would still be fun though). Let me think about this some more and I'll post again later.

Good ideas guys (DP especially). Let's go on talking about this, as there is no need to rush things up. I can give this free rapidshare account whenever i want, so i think we can talk more about it and then decide what to do

Personally, nothing against everyone else on the forum, but I believe Dead Parrot should be the one to receive the gift!

Have people write essays on why they would like to have the free account and what they would do with it. Post the top five or so and have the membership vote for a week on whom they want to win.

ARGGHHH! Sorry, flashback from my years of education.

I appreciate the sentiment but I could never accept any contest winnings here. It wouldn't be fair.

I like it. Hopefully Nyllover will run with that one.

Just buy an essay off the internet.

It's too bad that Nyl can't grant say 2 per month
One could be chosen based on contributions....1st month could be Dead Parrot
I do like the idea of a reward of this nature for for loyal members. By the time October rolls around maybe I would be in line!!

The other could be chosen at random. We have so many members.
Then again some members might no think its fair for non-contributors to get such a gift. I guess that would be food for thought.

If Hot Legs N Feet awards a free membership, let me be on that waiting list!!

During my vacation i had a really funny idea that i'll explain in the next days... it will be fun, trust me

Well...the competition started... read the details here:
