Two contests - Referral contest/NCAA bracket

Hello everyone!

Just announcing two contests on my forums, http://www.puretalkforum.com. If you have any questions about them, you can feel free to post here and I'll reply ASAP.

The first contest is a forum referral contest with a $20 cash prize.

Welcome, Welcome, Ladies and Gentleman! Boys and Girls! Everyone of all ages (13 or older, of course!) to the Referral Contest hosted by none other than your favorite Moderator In Training (I might be the only one ), Danger!

The point is pretty simple. Refer as many members as you can to the site and earn yourself a pretty spectacular prize. What's the prize you ask? You'll have to finish reading the rest of this post to find out. DON'T SKIP TO THE BOTTOM, IT RUINS IT.

Rules are as follows:

1 - Under no circumstances will you spam on other forums, or websites for that matter. It's considered rude, not allowed here (so that would be hypocritical), and frankly, the staff doesn't want to deal with people complaining about it to us.

2 - Each referral must post at least 10 posts to count. What's a new member to us if they don't post?

3 - I will be keeping track of the number of referrals. I will have them written down, so there will be no discrepancy over who got how many referrals.

4 - If someone joins, but doesn't put you as the person that referred you here, tough luck for you. Make sure you include the your forum name wherever you advertise, so that they know what name to put down when they register.

5 - The contest will run for one month. I'm not too exactly sure on the date of when it will start, so take advantage and come up with ways to find new members. It will be in the near future, I just need some time to collect the necessary data (aka amount of referrals already for each member).

6 - *Sigh* The prize. What you guys have been waiting for. The prize is a nice $20 cash prize. If you make an exceptional effort and have an incredible amount of new members, there might be a BONUS. Who knows? Work for it!

7 - The money will be sent via Paypal or I can mail you the cash via Snail Mail. Either way I'm giving away $20, so if you chose Snail Mail and it gets lost in the mail, I will not be responsible for re-sending cash. Sorry to say, but not everyone out here is trustworthy.

Again, I personally am giving away the $20 for the benefit of getting this site more active and more enjoyable. If I hear about any cheating of any kind (aka all your referrals have locations near you, and they all have the minimum ten posts, I can tell you just had your friends sign up to post 10 times and then they leave). Please do not encourage members to post nonsensical posts just so they have 10 posts. That would honestly just defeat the whole purpose of this contest. I'm giving away money in hopes this will help the community, not hurt it.
