By the way Glen I can see how picking a winner based on the number of posts is an incentive to have people post more frequently but it's....I can't even think of a good reason to do that. That is, in a way, implying that the number of posts is a reflection of what type of fan you are and that being a more frequent poster makes you more deserving to win. Simply silly logic.

Simply silly logic. it is NOT a competition on who is the biggest fan of Blind Melon... it is a competition for forum members, fans not only of the band, but FANS OF THIS FORUM, and choose to spend time and contribute here... people who spend more time here on the forum are contributing TO the forum, people who make a few posts are NOT contributing to the forum... sure we are all huge fans of the band, and there a numerous more huge fans who dont go on this forum at all, but why should people who dont contribute any time to this forum be on the same level ground as someone who spends hours contributing, uploading shows and videos, pictures, information, etc. or enhancing others experiences through their positive energy by their high post count... you know what it looks like when people who DONT contribute ANYTHING to the forum merely post just to enter competitions and download bootlegs, it seems like you are only in it for the freebies and not for the forum and its hard working members... all the moderators, plus the people with high post counts are the people who have made this forum, this community and it is as if you are taking for granted how much veteran posters have done to make this forum and make it grow, getting all these sources of information is not easy in the least... speaking for myself, do you know how much money i have spent on searching and purchasing cd and dvd bootlegs, demos, articles, information, etc. just to filter it into the forum, so others can enjoy it for FREE... i live in Australia goddamnit, you know how hard it is to search american sources for an american band that until recently hadnt existed for 11 years, and are STILL UNKNOWN, down here, paying extremely high postage costs?... it is a simply silly assumption you are making, and an extremely silly statement... I know you posted a few vids a while back from the Canal show, and that is great, but it really doesnt compare to the contributions others have made who have their whole hearts in this forum... anyways it is a competition, so no matter how many more opportunities others have over you, it is based on chance and luck, and i bet with our luck a newbie will win it, cause that is how the world turns...

Hi Starr. The reason why people with higher post counts are getting multiple entries is because we wanted to do the competition a little differently this time. When we had a contest when we reached 1000 members, there were equal entries for everyone. The fact of the matter was that most of the people who won prizes in the last contest were members with very few posts, and only a couple of them are still regulars here. We wanted to give an extra special chance to the people who dedicate a lot of their time to the forum, especially since none of the "core" members won anything last time. Don't worry though, the next contest we have will likely have a totally different set of rules. Please don't let the rules of this contest discourage you because it certainly won't be the last contest we organize, and you never know...you may win a prize in this one. Also, just to clarify if there is any confusion, this is not a contest that Glen organized. This contest was created and organized by the staff members who are not band members. The band is aware of the contest and has graciously donated some prizes. Good luck! ;D

People do realize that they have a full month to get their post counts up, right? In one month, it's easy to post a couple hundred times... Explore the forum. Play the song games. Play the movie games... Take 20 minutes of your time, if you can spare that, and post a couple dozen times a day. Starr, I guess you were thinking that this was Glen's contest because of my avatar? ANYWAY... Let's keep this thread for ENTRIES ONLY please!
