Admin Talk - Webmaster Posting Contest

We are having issues with the points mod we're using for the contest, it's a new plugin so we've been helping test it along with using it in our contest. We've had to reset the contest once and I don't want to keep doing that every 3 weeks.

We still have all prizes secured and will start the contest once again ASAP. For now please check the forums and carry on like normal, we may be able to add a few prizes, I know we're strong on the xenforo side, I'll see if we can get a vbulletin suite donated to help encourage the vb fans.

 

I am glad to be apart of this

I probably won't win but i do like competition and contests

 

don't give up so easy

 

Looking good Brandon. Good luck to everyone!

 

I like the idea of the contest, but what about non XenForo/vBulletin users? What do they get? Because let's face it, for any IPB, phpBB, MyBB, SMF, etc users vBulletin and XenForo mods are completely useless to them.

 

Don't be afraid to compete. New threads are a life-saver here, and get people talking. let's go!

 

An incentive to buy XF maybe. If you really have no use for the mods and have no intention to buy the script, then I guess you'll just have to gift them to someone who does.

 

Maybe you missed our top donator, postloop points can be used for any forum or blog you own?

This is only our first contest, we've already been approached by those who could help any type of site via internet marketing as well as other scripts.
I know the other prizes are geared towards xenforo users, it may not be the same with the next contest.

 

Finally. I've been waiting awhile for this contest to start. First place is going to be mine!

 

Is there a leaderboard? Would be nice to be able to keep track of where everyone is

 

Not right now, there will be a monthly updates to the OP.


We are working on a way to see the leaders in real time.

 

Wait, you'll update it monthly? That's pretty cool, I expected to maybe hear the results when the contest was over instead.

Also, what's with the -2 points for everything you unlike? Is there usually a problem with people liking posts and unliking them again later?

 

Yes we'll also have monthly winners.

 

Oh cool, okay.

Also, I don't know if you spelt this wrong, but you put 'MyPonts' as a possible XenForo add on, it should probably be MyPoints, right?

 

Thanks, I'll fix it as soon as I can. Posting from the phone now.

 

That's cool. I don't really know how the plugin is structured, but I imagine it'll be a pretty simple DB query.

 

Quite the big contest you've got going, Brandon! Good Luck!

 

That's what I was thinking as well, I know I'll have to go dig in the database to get the monthly winners.
