Neowin GMAIL Invite Giveaway!


Recommended Posts

READ BEFORE YOU POST!

THE GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED!

I have four (thanks to jack_canada for adding 2 more to the contest) Gmail invites to give out, and since a lot of my real life friends don't really care about such things or don't want to change their email address, I've decided to give out the invites to some lucky Neowin members. However, as I am really tired of seeing the forums filled with "invite me, im a massive tool, tool [at] toolhosting.com", I've decided to add a twist to giving out these invites.

You have to nominate another Neowin member who you feel represents what it means to be a great member here. The rules are:

1) You have at least 250 posts and have been registered for at least one month to nominate someone or be nominated.

2) You cannot nominate yourself, if you do, you will disqualify yourself (even if someone else nominated you too) -- don't try and register another account, I will catch you. Anyone caught will also be warned.

3) You need to provide a reason why that member is worthy of an invite. Maybe they helped you solve your BSOD problems, maybe they backed you up in an arguement in RWI, or maybe they are just a cool Neowin member. What ever your reason, you need to provide it.

After letting the nominations go for the next few hours (I assume it won't take that long to get enough names, anything with Gmail in the title here tends to be sucked up quick), I'll read through them all, and select my invites. I'll then PM those members who I've selected, and if they decline to be invited or already have a gmail account, I will move down the list until my invites are all given out.

If you've got invites that YOU'D like to add to this contest, please PM me or e-mail me at marshalus@gmail.com with details. Please do not contact me asking for invites, this is the only way you'll get them. If you have questions please PM or email me, do not add them to this thread, as I do not want to have to sort through questions. If there are things that I've missed in explaining I'll edit this post and add them for everyone to read.

Also, please feel free to nominate someone who has already been nominated, I'll just consider it another vote for that person. However, you may only make one nomination, so make it count. If you nominate more than one person, I'll only take the first one you list.

Please keep this thread for positive comments about members, if this thread starts turning into a flame fest for stuff like "DONT NOMIATE HIM, HE DID BLAH BLAH BLAH" then not only will I start handing out warnings, I'll just end the contest.

Thanks!

Marshalus

I nominate X Statik Process for boosting my confidence and for being a great guy.

I nominate Lazy Tiger for being an awesome friend and a great supporter. Really helped me since I am going through my cancer treatments... Lazy Tiger deserves a GMAIL account!

He IM's me just to check in and see if I'm okay... that's just fuc*ing awesome.

If I had a GMAIL account, I would give it to Lazy Tiger.

1) You have at least 250 posts and have been registered for at least one month to nominate someone or be nominated.
since I have over 17,400 Posts can I nomintate someone 69 times? :laugh:

17,400 / 69 @ 250 posts a pop.... :p

2) You cannot nominate yourself, if you do, you will disqualify yourself (even if someone else nominated you too) -- don't try and register another account, I will catch you. Anyone caught will also be warned.

I already have GMAIL.. xStainDx@gmail.com so nominating myself is quite stupid.. :D

3) You need to provide a reason why that member is worthy of an invite. Maybe they helped you solve your BSOD problems, maybe they backed you up in an arguement in RWI, or maybe they are just a cool Neowin member. What ever your reason, you need to provide it.

I VOTE FOR CREAMHACKERED!! HE"S SO NICE AND HE GIVES US LOTS OF SECRET MICROSOFT INFO! :D

um.. if he already has GMAIL then I vote for REDMAK cuz he's that little guy that I don't think gets enough credit for what he does @ neowin. :D

i vote for xStainDx cause i can only dream about that number of posts.... :drool:

(also cause xStainDx has always been friendly to everyone (esp. new members) and a useful mediator and diplomat in those [very messy] general discussion arguments!)

:happy:

edit: silly moi didn't read xStainDx's post before nominating... :blush: therefore i nominate Keldyn for being really scary but perennially (sp?) fair...!
