    Nice looking forum suprastan - I also run a programming forum - codecall.net

    Maybe we could benefit from each other somehow?

    Get a judge panel, pay them $100 each (3 people) to go over the posts and rate each one. Whichever member has the highest rating...wins!

    I have ran similar contests on many of my websites. The problem is if I gave it to the TOP posters it becomes unfair for people who can not live on the website. Some people have no jobs and can spend 8 hours per day on the forums making TONS of posts.

    Also. making it the one with the most posts creates SPAM. And it gets hard to moderate when you are going through 4000 messages a day.

    I think the best way I have found is to run it like this. Each post gives you an entry. And at the end of the contest the winner will be randomly drawn. This gives everyone a shot at making some money.

    Good luck guys..

    -Stan

    Oh yeah, on this site, I will be trying to do monthly contests too:)

    You can set the contest, so the top quality member will win. This way you'll attract good programers on a forum and the prize will go in right hands.
