Alright, first 10 users to hit 500* posts gets a free site made by my team. Trust me, you will want this in your arsenal of sites. They require little or no updating. I will either pick out a niche for you, or you can give me one and I'll have the site created for you. These sites do VERY well because their content is constantly updated, and all of the ads don't look like ads at all, so they get tons of attention (clicks and sales).

Rules:
- Your posts cannot be worthless like "Yeah". They have to be valid to some degree. If you become known for posting absolute crap that no one can really use, you'll be disqualified.
- You must be willing to sign an NDA once you've 'won', agreeing that you will not leak the information about these sites to anyone. I can assure you that I will take this very seriously if you break it.
- Only ONE username per winner. You shouldn't already have more than one of these as it is, but if I catch you trying to cheat the contest, your ass will be banned, not to mention you won't be getting any prizes out of it, so think twice before you do something stupid.
- You must want to make cash and agree to keep the site going and report back with your stats. This will probably be covered in the NDA.

That's all for now. I'll post the winners below as they come about. Anyone can apply. I may add more new rules as I think of them, so keep checking back to see if anything has changed.

* - I changed it from 250 to 500 because SOME people are trying to average 100+ posts a day. This is unfair to those that are trying to make real posts. All posts will now be counted as fair game as long as you abide by the rules above.

**UPDATED RULE: Since there are so many of you post whores out there trying to hit 500 posts in a day or even in a week, when you do hit the 500 post mark, I will require you to have at least 50, yes FIFTY threads started by you with some type of content that will benefit the forum and community as a whole. This doesn't mean a thread in the Shoot the Shit forum, I'm talking about advice or questions or tips that can greatly effect everyone. No 50 threads, no free site. Read it and weap.

Winners:
1. VinSVT
2. WallaceCleaver
3. Dave
4. Peach
5. Payton
6. MisterX
7. a.titus1
8. JDA
9. Nathan
10. kyleirwin

Thanks for the oppurtunity. I earn my money by developing all sorts of sites for various publishers and companies, basically making other people rich, but now it can be the other way round :D
If I win this it should be a great learning experience for me.
 
Wow Jon, I know you from site point. I really like your style. That's why I started joining this forum right away when I heared it launched. You might remember me from be the first one with a logo design atempt in your topic ;)
 
Wow

Now this is one contest that may be hard for someone like myself to win - someone who is generally a lurker unless I have something really fascinating to contribute ;-)
Great idea to get the forum off and running though Jon. I like your style.

Yeah well, time to get you lurkers out and about and adding to the community instead of wasting my bandwidth!
 
Sounds like a great contest. It's just extra incentive to continue posting (since I've been waiting for this forum to open up for some time).
 
I don't think that high posting rate equals bad quality though, I just started many good threads :)
I'm glad it's 500 now though, I can go to sleep safely, I think I can catch up again after 8 hours lol.

I'm really amazed what this contest is going for the forum, there's so much information being shared already.

Well, the forum isn't even 24 hours old yet, so it's too early to say whether or not it's going to do well in the long run, but so far so good.

I don't have a problem with your quality of posts, in fact, I think most of them are good, I just want to give everyone competing for the prize a fair chance.
 
I understand why you changed it... but some of us have nothing to do at work!

I used to average like 200 a day on offtopic.com.

That's one of the funniest lines yet.. "But some of us having nothing to do at work".

How about doing work!?
