Now that the mods have CALMED THE FUCK DOWN, I think its important for the life of this wonderful forum to acquire new members and to win championships. Now since we can't, as a forum, win championships, let's focus on acquiring new members. What's the ground game? What's the strategy? And mostly importantly, how much is this going to cost?

Thoughts?

April 1th contest = as much credibility as e-mails from Uganda informing me that I'm the beneficiary

If you yell at a manager and make a scene for long enough, he'll find some.

To clarify, I'm not giving out Kroger giftcards. I will be buying giftcards at Kroger because they sell them for a shit ton of stores.

It won't be hard to enter. Basically creating a thread gives you a shot at winning.

Only 7 of the 25 front page threads are started by that group. Also, SnotBubbles is almost all but done posting here.

This will also give more incentive to start a thread that might generate good discussion. There will be criteria for your thread to actually get you an entry (number of responses, etc).

Also, you're not eligible because fuck you.

Just kidding.

But seriously, if you win you'd have to give me your address.

Is the goal of this site to make money or just as a fun way to make friends on the internet?
