Are you going to e-mail everyone weather or not they won, or send private messages on the forum?

hahahahahha(: this comment made my day! That is soooooooooooo true! the contests here are 23592083x better/more fair than glogster! (i would know!) Hmmmmm. Care to elaborate? MY friend and I both entered that contest over the summer and worked EXTREMELY hard on it(as well as most others did)... We were constantly encouraging people to "like" our and and share it with their friends... The voting was STRICTLY on how many "likes" the glog had. Having only 300 friends on facebook, and the other people who "liked" it on glogster, mine received 137 likes i think... The winners who won had atleast 300 each. I did my research on these people and most of them had over 1000 friends on! I remember a few of them said they "didnt expect to win, and entered for fun." In my envision, they were going to pick the most creative glog, with the most dedicated, Enchancer as the winner. My friend and I (along with MANY other people) exprienced a terrible glitch.. with in the first 2 weeks of the contest, we had about 60 "likes".. i was ELATED with joy because compared to the others I had seen, we had a lot! But, the next time we logged on, all of our "likes" had been gone. COMPLETELY gone. We were both devastated. I also remember reading on comments on the site that others had, had this happen to them also. Just my outlook... but I'm sure others would agree that it was NOT a fair contest.

Hmmm. I was thinking about doing something here letting members pick the winners by the number of likes a post receives. Maybe that is not a good idea. I can't decide if our members would abuse it and turn it into a popularity contest. I would like to believe that Enchancers would grade based on the quality of the post. What about it forum members? Share your opinions. Would a best post contest work (based on the number of "thumbs up" likes)?

There's a ton of contests like that, and I really don't like those, because I agree, it feels like it turns into a popularity contest. What was great about this contest was that you are taking time for this. Also, a ton of the people who entered, that was their first post on this forum, I think myself included. So, if it was a like contest, these new people would probably have a lesser chance of winning. We'd want everyone to have a fair chance. But on the other hand, what if one half of the contest was a likes, but the judges got the overall say? There could be a winner from the people and a winner from the judges, you know? Still. I like how you do contests. (:

ITS ALMOST HERE! Through all the struggles with health problems, holidays, and the sheer magnitude of having to select 33 winners from all the great entries, the FINAL list of winners has been submitted. Now it is just a matter of squeezing time in between the family obligations of the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend for the admins to post the winners. I know its been a long wait but it had to be this way to make sure that everything was as fair and balanced as possible. So please, hang in there, just a little longer, watchin' the minute hand, frozen solid, not movin'...

The glogster contest wasa contest where you had to make a "glog" (kind of like a poster online i guess) about your favorite song on HOTTN and why you picked itt! Glogster said they would pick the ones that they thought were the best, but they didnt even look at them all. They just picked ones that had the most likes, unfortunately!
