Thinking about doing some contests here and there. The first one I was think was "guess the time we reach 1000 members". I am not sure what the prize should be, though.

Any thoughts on this?

Also, feel free to bring up any other contests that might help keep things interesting.

prize should be $12.....that would be funny.

"Instead of charging for premium access, we pay you to read our garble!"

What do you think? I would put this somewhere between "welcome back" box and where the threads start within each forum. I'd link it to a thread in the general forum with the rules and whatever where people can post their answers.

How do we pay out the money? Through paypal?

Also... this will most likely happen either tomorrow or early Saturday... so better get that rolling out quick if 1k is the number to guess.

Yeah, either paypal or I'd send them a check or something.

Here is the post I have saved as a draft:

"Freehuddle.com is holding a contest! Guess the time in which we reach our 1000th member and you win $12. :)

Contest rules:
1. Must have at least 5 posts to be eligible
2. Cannot use a time that has already been guessed (if two people guess the same time and it is the winning time the first person to guess wins the prize)
3. Must provide time in the following format: Month/Day Hour:Minute:Second AM/PM (i.e. 11/13 11:14:36 PM)
3. Moderators are not eligible

Please make your guesses in this thread."

See anything that should be added/changed?
