Forum Posting Contest. Rewarding those who are active.

**Aquarium Co-Op** 2013-09-01, 16:06

To reward those who are staying active in the forum this month while we regroup and get more members etc. We'll be running a contest.

We added a new feature on the sidebar as some of you have noticed. "Top Posting users this month". We've got 4 prizes that we'll be giving away at random for the top 10 posters at the end of the month. So just because you're 1st or 10th won't matter. You'll have the same chance as others.

Disclaimer: Posts should be of quality. Simply posting "lol" "looks good" etc should be avoided. The goal of this competition is to ad good discussion to the forum.

It's up to us to build the forum. I can supply the prize support, but we need each member's help to build it up.

Prizes:
$25 gift card to Aquarium Co-Op
4oz bag of Shrimp Souffle by Repashy
2 pack of seaweed clips - great for your plecos
10.75oz container of shrimp pellets.

All prizes can be picked up in store and will not be shipped out due to cost.

Good luck.

Great idea on adding this feature. I do like seeing who is active on the side. Haha, you can always tell when madness is busy with school ( when he is not at the top) and when certain topics are hot spots based on who's participating. Adding a prize is a bonus everyone will enjoy,but not necessary to my continued use of this forum. Thanks for your generosity!!!!

On a side note, (not meant to derail) have you decided to open a second store in the south sound yet? I would be your first customer ..... Hint hint hint.

DMD123 2013-09-01, 16:20

Very nice incentive to keep the forum active. Thank you for your generosity in providing prizes.

Sweet!

MorganEA 2013-09-01, 18:10

I agree with Lloyd! I would love to support a locally owned fish store but it is a long drive up there tongue

Sorry but 'Dude wheres my car?' came to mind... LMFAO

Cool contest! Lets turn it up Spot On

Guest 2013-09-01, 19:03

this counts.

**PokeSephiroth** 2013-09-01, 23:06

Should there also be a rule that if you win something this month, then the next month you aren't eligible? I s'pose it wouldn't really matter, since it's a "drawing" of some sorts. But, I figure, at least, the top 3 users will most likely be the same every month. =P

Gryphon 2013-09-01, 23:31

Sounds like a good idea to revitalize things a bit!

DMD123 2013-09-01, 23:32

Prizes are random, so only 4 out of 10 will win. Does not mean it will be the same winners. Seems very fair to me.

fishyladdy 2013-09-02, 00:04

super awesome love this idea Smile

definitely will keep people active!

BillHN 2013-09-02, 00:22

oh wow O_O

cichlid-gal 2013-09-02, 08:00

I'm not much of a poster...maybe once a day and sometimes short posts so now I'll have to be quiet even more I guess...but I LOVE reading all the posts. Great information here always. So where is the contest for biggest reader Cory? No fair, I say NO FAIR!!!

Great idea. This should really keep people going haha!

jettej 2013-10-02, 00:58

Anything for month of october?

**MRTom** 2013-10-02, 01:21

Yes! We want treats for October too! How about the winner's choice of Betta from the awesome display?

The $25 gift certificate for the store would take care of that..... Very Happy

Unless you're getting a Dumbo Betta aka Elephant Ear Betta. haha

DMD123 2013-10-02, 02:41

Those are cool, and expensive.

**PokeSephiroth** 2013-10-02, 02:42

Heck yeah they are! Very Happy

Although, I wonder if they have a hard time swimming with such big finnage...

And you know that's what I want! bounce

**PokeSephiroth** 2013-10-02, 03:04

I WANT THEM ALLLLLLLL!!!!! *Nostril flare*

**MRTom** 2013-10-02, 03:16

You do have that 8 foot display tank for them... Put some extra dividers in there and you could have what, 16 bettas?

**PokeSephiroth** 2013-10-02, 03:22

Hahaha I could. If only I had the money to afford 16 bettas =P

On second thought, that would mean I would need like..32 bettas, if I'm going to pair them off with females. Baaahahahaha

escapay 2013-10-02, 07:33

Just saw this post yesterday. I think it is a good idea to reward those who are active. Smile

I really like the fact that it is not necessarily the top 4, but other rather 4 from the top 10. Otherwise it could be a battle, okay maybe not, to get the top 4 spots.

Someone has to provide the entertainment, right? clown

**Aquarium Co-Op** 2013-10-03, 01:03

I'm sure I'll come up with something for October Smile

Right now I'm trying to figure out the list as I didn't take a screenshot on the last day. Anyone happen to have a screenshot of that leaderboard? Otherwise I'll keep digging in admin panel Very Happy

Guest 2013-10-03, 01:43

I know the top5 dmd123, madness, PokeSephiroth, sirwesdragon, and FishNAbowl. The rest bottom 5 I don't remember.

DMD123 2013-10-03, 11:04

I know lloyd378 was in the top 10, and I think at #10 was Aquarium Co-Op. So that is like 7 out of 10....

KaraWolf 2013-10-03, 12:46

Well....I know it hasn't been me since before the last week of august. Top 7 sounds right though. Razz

fishNAbowl 2013-10-03, 14:59

Twas something like;
DMD123
POKE
SOMEBODY
ME
SIRWESDRAGON
SOMEBODY
ECT

MADDNESS
SOMEBODY

Lol

pbmax 2013-10-03, 20:39

I'm pretty sure I was on the list. I'll claim one of those "somebody" spots. Smile

DMD123 2013-10-03, 21:19

Im pretty sure pbmax was on the list too.

I'll be over here, winning, if you need me.

Cool

cichlid-gal 2013-10-03, 23:35

I'd say if no one has stepped up for the vacant slots and claimed them then its unimportant this time around. There are always other months, other times. It's a fun thing. And one of the "somebodies" was Aquarium Co-op I'm sure.

**Aquarium Co-Op** 2013-10-03, 23:39

Yeah last I looked I was in 10th, not that I was trying Smile

Guest 2013-10-03, 23:41

Well cory the admin can find out the last status by looking it up. Let's not worry about the active list. Im on there though. Very Happy

DMD123 2013-10-25, 22:18

So its been a while...... What happened? Who was the winner?

Guest 2013-10-25, 22:52

Yeah. What happened to that.

**Aquarium Co-Op** 2013-10-25, 22:54

Unfortunately there is no way to confirm the data of the top 10. This stupid forum software I swear.... So if we can get a roughly complete list I can award the prizes. At this point we have like 6 of ten. been waiting for more people to pipe up with a "hey I was in the top 10" list then someone confirms it etc.

cichlid-gal 2013-10-25, 23:01

Well, like I said before...if they haven't stepped up by now then its unimportant to them. I would think doing the drawing with the ones who you know and have stepped up would be fair. Just my 2 cents Smile

KaraWolf 2013-10-25, 23:11

cichlid-gal wrote:Well, like I said before...if they haven't stepped up by now then its unimportant to them. I would think doing the drawing with the ones who you know and have stepped up would be fair. Just my 2 cents

Sounds good to me Smile

wish I could be one of those somebodies but I know for a fact I was not Smile

Watched myself drop off the top 10 sometime before and hadn't popped back up since
