    OK, there is 5 days left before the close of the upload contest. We have a total of 8 videos submitted. That's a $500 cash prize pool. What' the problem?

    Got your submission, James. However, it is a duplicate of one we already show. Please submit another.

    Due to the confusion we've had over submissions we are extending the deadline for submissions until March 5th and judging will occur on March 7th.

    Ok, we encountered some proxy voting and some other irregularities. After weeding through the efforts to defeat our count system, we have 3 winners.

    #1 (and $250 cash) went to savesth3day for his submission entitled "Father and Son" for originality and content. See: http://gamesiteonline.com/7077-Father_and_Son-free-videos.htm

    #2 (and $150 cash) went to Charley for his submission entitled "Pinky Outdoors" for originality. See: http://gamesiteonline.com/7096-Pinky_Outdoors-free-videos.htm

    #3 (and $100 cash) went to astr0 for his submission entitled "Treadmill" for content. See: http://gamesiteonline.com/6789-Treadmill-free-videos.htm

    All winners need to PM me with payment details via paypal or check.

    We are not going to run a contest for March since we got off track with this one. Our voting system is being overhauled.

    Our next upload contest will start on April 1st and run through April 30th. Winners will be announced on May 2nd.

    Congratulations and regards,
    Michael Mann

    You send me a pm , that I would be paid by PAYPAL within few days during March and still havent received anything. You have ignored my PM's too.

    Here is a screenshot of your profile. You visit the forum, but still the payments are pending.

    Why are you doing this ? I am sending you a PM again now.

    The sponsors of this contest pulled out and left us high and dry. No payment to me or my staff and no final payment to the video contest winners.

    I locked them out of the domain and removed the contest from the site and then went to battle with them over the payments.

    In the end, the company they owned went out of business and the owners simply refused to pay.

    There was and is nothing I can do.

    You will note that we are not using or displaying any of the submitted videos.

    I apologize for this turn of events and will be far more careful of who I do business with in the future.

    Charley, I have NEVER ignored your PM's. When the company paid us the first contest you had your money within days of the close of the contest.

    Now, things went haywire and I have tried to keep you informed, even to the extent of trying to get you in touch with the sponsors of this contest.

    Of course I still visit the forum. I didn't quit DP just because I lost a sponsor to a contest I ran on my site.

    When I locked out the sponsoring company for non-payment I made CERTAIN that none of the submitted videos were displayed on the site.

    I am sorry things went this way, but the owners of the sponsoring company refused to pay and there was nothing I could do about it but lick my wounds and make sure it didn't happen again.

    I hope you understand.
