Now if I ran a little contest...

[DangerDave]

.. NOT promoting anything.. just for fun... (remember that?)

What would make good prizes?

Content? - always good
Hosting? - ? prize hosting always runs out :(
A site tour? - ? only good if you have a paysite or shitloads of content?
A script? - hmm usually a valuable item
A script install and mod?
Increase partnership %?

Got any other ideas of solid, 'ever-lasting' prizes? please post them.

I(and a friend) have an idea for a fun contest... which we will tell you all about when we work out what the prizes can/will be...

Remember it's for fun only..

Well, I could use a muzzle and a submit pass to DangerDave's. :D

Like you said, content is always nice. I also think the idea of having a site tour designed is swank, but I've always had a bit of penis envy when it comes to people who own paysites.

[Cleo]

I could use my house cleaned.

I ended up owning a LL after I won a LL script.

A year's supply of |potleaf| would be great. :D

[emmanuelle]

I love the idea of prizes being something not normally easily obtained. Submit passes are a great idea, since they offer the winner a sense of importance, and there's no out of pocket expense for the donor.

Prizes like hosting involve too much trouble to collect :-(

[ponygirl]

Cleo & Warrior...

I have to agree with both of you, a script would be kind of cool...but a submit pass would be a great incentive to some of us newbies if you really want to be |santa|
lol

[JenC]

Content & scripts always welcome here. |bananna|

[Wazza]

A signed photo of you and pinhead |goodnight

[Tart]

An authentic submission pass to Danger Dave's would rock |bananna|

But I wouldn't turn down a script or content either :D

[tiny]

I'd want a TOP of the line puter loaded up min cost 5,000 of course I'd like it to have every tool you'll need.
I buy one every few yrs but never spend that much for one hehe

haha, i like cleo's ideas....

[mist]

Designs are nice, like TGP templates or a few free sites templates, which could be put together with a submit pass.

Mist

[Certifiedbitch]

some banner designs or gallery templates will be a good prize too.

[swedguy]

Since this is a link list board, here's some prizes that would fit this place and its crowd.

* Link List
* Link List design
* x PR5 trades for your site for x months
* x free site templates
* x free sites, including content

[Chop Smith]

DD,
Something Australian would be nice. The road signs that Out Back lauched with was a neat ideal.

[MrMaryLou]

Great Idea DD :)

[selena]

You could figure out a few things you are comfortable with offering as prizes, then let the winner pick from them. That way they get what is appropriate/most wanted by them at that stage in their career.

[ngb1959]

This would be a good prize for us girls:

He also seems to be missing his most important part. |jester|

I guess he would be still good for making coffee but by the looks of him the care and feeding would be a bit much for just a coffee maker. :D

[Fonz]

I would go for the content pack or the increase in partnership %

And ofcourse if it's a script that I could really use that would be great too :)

hosting and design don't apply to me that much...

I could use one of those submit passes myself DD

Fred

[Mateusz]

I guess it all depends on how long you have been in the biz.
As a newbe I would pick content or as other say submit pass.

[caringneo]

Some nice ideas there.
A top listing at DangerDave.com also would be nice. (That would automatically include a submit pass I guess. |jester| )
Neo

[Dr Bizzaro]

How about servant.... I could use someone to do all my chores.

[grzepa]

From the ones you mentioned I'd like some content.
The best deal from you would be a submit pass to DD I think.

[backoffbitch]

i think the top 3 prizes are consultations by those in-the-know, content and design packages

[DangerDave]

Cool keep em coming people...

Script
Content
Submit Pass
Gallery/FSite design

appear to be the leaders at the moment..


ngb1959 - I cant send one of those as an attachment.... so that's out! :)


Cleo!... if only..... |rasta|

DD

[MadMax]

Hosting and design wouldn't be of much use to me, but I'd love (in no particular order):

DD Submit Pass Would ROCK!
Content with full docs just in case
Scripts could be cool, depending on the script (I already have a LL script, for example)
Traffic is always nice
Cat page link trades with DD & Jurbi (temporary or permanent)
Consultation with those "in the know" is a fantastic idea, and could be worth its weight in gold.



I would like to take a minute to say that contests just for the hell of it are really cool, and I'd love to see some show up on this board. I'd have one myself if I had anything of real value to offer as a prize |rasta|

[dirtyjumbo]

I would choose traffic (a submit pass to a major LL?) or content :)
Some free domains always come in handy too :)

[dareutwo]

Since the Aussies are able to work out just about anything, I'd chose a clone :)

Does that count?????

Actually. submit pass or design. (as you well know I can't design anything)

[CelticTiger]

Internext is coming up soon...some passes and a room at the Mandalay would be nice.

[Useless]

Something to stop the itching.

[T Pat]

a submit pass
a top listing
content
logo design
free site template

a working link list
populated with free hosted sites would be cool|waves|

[Cleo]

A gift certificate over at DirectNic would be cool. All of us can always use a few more domains.

|attention *constantly amazed that tart is over 100 posts*.. |smooch|

You want Danger Dave to play God?? |buddy|

;-))

[backoffbitch]

you know, computer hardware are nice prizes.

let me suggest a few that are not expensive at all

external hard drives ($100 for 80 gig... always great to use as a 'work' drive)

thermaltake keyboard/mouse combo ($35 ... just pure neato)

pc/tv card ($100 for trouble free one ... great for that second monitor)

[plateman]

A paid round trip plane ride to DD house to hang with one bad ass hard nose aussie..
A couple submitt passes - just in case of a unforseen BL happens
Some categories trades..
Some exclusive content..
some special SEO help..
maybe a banner spot on danger daves
A cash Gift $$
A custom LL script
a site with script and traffic allready

Thats all I can think or wish for..

[KCat]

Everybody loves traffic, but the submit pass or better link placement is kind of tough. Just because you win a contest doesn't mean you can design a good free site. ;)

Maybe a banner spot for some period of time? Could be to the winner's site directly or a sponsor of their choice.

content - can always use more
design - banners, logos, TGP templates etc.

[Greenguy]

I was gonna say one prize that'd be really cool, but then I remember that I need to be a nicer person & not make really bad jokes :D

I think most poeople would like most prizes, but you're always gonna find things that people don't really need OR winning the prize causes unwanted problems - like hosting is a really cool prize in theory, but I wouldn't want to win it because I am very comfortable with Nat Net :)

A link list script would be a cool prize, unless you had no plans on starting a link list :)

A tour and banners & graphics would be cool, unless you had no pay site to use it on.

I could go on & on & shoot down pretty much every prize anyone could think of :D

But, I will say that any prize that's given away at someone elses expense is pretty much a nice thing to do & odds are, someone will be able to use it :)

[MadMax]

Whenever I win something I don't need I just donate it to someone who does need it....it's like a deposit in the Intergalactic Bank of Karma.|rasta|

[backoffbitch]

how about silly little things too like joke books and bathroom readers? I know I spend a good 1 hour per day total on the throne and love reading there hehe
