Hi folks

I am receiving a fair amount of promotional offers from companies (most are not really worthwhile :-), but I need your feedback here. Would you guys like to see free offers, competitions etc. for members on MyADSL? We can open a dedicated forum for this if you are interested, but your feedback will govern this decision. If we do have competitions on MyADSL I will make certain that I have the ‘prize’ in hand before listing it and it will certainly always be free to members… I guess it will be like 5FM…post your answer on forum and win :-)

Please give your views.

Regards,

RPM
 
As long as there is a fair amount of control I don't really see a problem with the idea. It may be a great way to sign up more MyAdsl members.
 
I disagree with you ic, not every prize will be available to everyone. It's like saying no PC-Game prizes because I run linux? Or no DVD-RW prizes because I dont have a DVD writer. I think whoever moderates the competitions should take into consideration who the market is. (i.e. Broadband users in SA).
 
Hi guys

Thanks a bunch for the comments so far. Please keep them coming!

What if we had a monkey knife fight and the winner got the prize, the website that implements monkey knife fighting will have attained godhood in my eyes.
 
I don't think its problematic, but like anything else, a promotional contract could be entered into for a period, wihich can be re-evaluated adter that period, if too much trouble comes out of it, no more will be signed up.
 
Hi IC

Relevant point. I think it is important that no personal information will be supplied...simply a forum based entry (a posting) from where the winner can be selected. Maybe a short trial run (for an MP3 player or something) is a good idea...

Who cares what the prizes are as long as there is MONKEY KNIFE FIGHTING, that should be prize enough.
 
Thanks for the feedback VQuest

Always great if one of our 'founding members' give their views :-))
 
I agree with the knife fighting bit... ;)

Just kidding. I think competitions can be cool. Just sad that I would not be allowed to enter being a MOD on this forum.

Cheers

ahem, as another "founding member", I give my nod as well :D

not that myadsl need competitions to make it worthwile; i think it would serve as an incentive for the uninitiated to take a look.
 
It's worthwhile to try out. You can always stop if there is no interest or problems arise... and yeah if there's monkey knife fighting I'm there ;)
 
I will vote for it.

rpm: I assume that you will take your percentage "handling fee" for the prizes, as you deserve it!!!
 
Hi Privet

Not at all. If somebody sponsors a prize I will simply put it up for grabs and select a winner afterwards. I will develop a system where the selection process is completely transparant and fair...otherwise I can already see Antowan abusing his powers :-))

RPM
 
rpm have you ever considered buying online ads for myadsl on other high traffic sites?

My competition suggestions:
Dinner with a forumite's hot single sister.
Tour of the Telkom NOC.
Get to use SAT3 all by yourself for one hour.
