As mentioned above, the paid slots are filled, but the contest is still open for the next three days! To repeat: I will pick and pay the winner on April 16th. I am going to open this up anyone - paid poster or people who joined this thread after the slots where all taken. Be sure to list your user name in this thread to be considered for the prize. At this point, there is no clear winner, so everyone is encouraged to make some great new posts! Remember, prize is awarded for quality, not quantity.
You are correct -- everyone is welcome enter the contest portion, with $10 (and vast DP fame) awarded on Monday. Be sure to list your user name on the forum in this thread to be considered!
I really hope you haven't paid the poster Angle yet. He copied my posts from the Destroy Debt forum word for word and tried to pass them off as his own on your forum. I have sent you a PM with links.
Several of the people on that list have copied their posts directly from this forum http://forum.destroydebt.com/. Many of their posts are copied from the usernames I used on that forum, Xenigo123 and Mirer14. Here is the link to the thread where I stated I was signing up under those usernames http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=2680055#post2680055 I find it pathetic that these people can't think for themselves and have to plagiarize my original work. If I was the owner of the Christian Debt forum I would do Paypal charge backs for each one of them.
I haven't requested payment yet, I thought we were going to wait until Monday. But I assure you my work is all my own original thought and comes straight from my fingers and my brain as I was creating it on your site. (I'm not on the mentioned list...) So, should I wait until Monday to request payment, since there is a contest involved? How many of the participants were involved in fraud? Jeez, what brought all this on?
Yes, it does look like there has been some plagerism. Very disapointing that this is how I'm rewarded for trying to pay a little extra to inspire quality. It didn't take very long to find out who was original and who was not, and payments have been made/reversed accordingly. JoyGoRound and any other paid posters who have completed their assignment, please feel free to PM me to be paid at your convenience. And yes, the contest is still open through Monday. Paid and unpaid posters alike are encouraged to make more quality posts between now and then for the $10 prize. There are only twenty registered users on the forum and a few have just been disqualified, so odds of winning are pretty good! Thanks to everyone who made quality and original contributions to my forum.
Well, the contest is now closed and the official winner is ErectaDirectory / Jstorz Jstorz made tremendously high quality posts and is a fantastic contributor to our nascent forum. I strongly recommend his services to anyone looking to get a quality forum off of the ground! Thanks to all (well, most) of our contributors and please do check out Jstorz great work and see how the forum is coming along at http://www.christiandebthelp.info/forum/index.php. For those paid posters that have properly completed the assignment, please PM me your paypal address for payment and itrader rating. Thanks!
