    Our anniversary for teenforumz.com is coming up and I was wondering what other forums done on their first anniversaries, anything special? :D

    We had our first year anniversary back in May and we had a month long trivia challenge which was sponsored by two of our sponsors on the site. We gave away $10 Amazon gift cards everyday (Monday through Friday) randomly from all correct answers given for the day. It was a cool and interactive celebration.

    That's right, Michelle did win twice! :)

    It was fun getting folks involved and people even participated that normally didn't participate on the boards. So, it was very successful. :D

    First and second anniversaries for the current forums passing by.

    I did not do anything for the anniversary but I gave away several t-shirts and other goodies for the 50,000 posts mark that was passed around the same time.

    My first anniversary is coming up soon.

    I started an AR15 receiver giveaway for every year Obama is in office:p So I'll be giving one of those out for sure. Then I haven't made up my mind but I think I'm going to hand out some 50.00 Cebala's gift cards.

    I think it is always good to give away things that will advertise the site. I will be giving away decals and guns that our sponsors donate.

    Great! These are some neat ideas that I hope some of you don't mind me using on my forum when our anniversary comes, which is still 6 months away :P
