4th IMTalk.org Activity Contest - $100 first prize!

Hi,

This 4th contest is very simple, it is all about activity points :)
So here are the rules.
First member who reaches 1000 activity points in one month will be awarded by $100.
So contest is starting today 04.10.2011 and will be ending when someone reaches 1000 points or in one month from now 04.11.2011 if no one reaches that 1000 mark.

More about activity points and how you can earn them you can find here:
http://www.imtalk.org/f6/4305-member...-trophies.html

You don't need to apply here for the contest all members are included on auto.
Once someone reaches 1000 activity points that member and results will be known here:
Activity Contest Results

If no one reaches 1000 activity points in a month period,
then we will start new contest next month, starting from the 0 activity points and prize money($100) will be carried and added from last months to the new contest, which will then result in $200 prize money for that second contest and so on...

Please note, as always only quality posts/threads and no cheating, if someone is caught posting spam or cheating in any way that member will be instantly and permanently banned from here.

Please ask here is something is not quite understandable.

Happy Points Hunting :)

Our new mod for VB will do this on auto, when someone hits 1000 points mark this mod will automatically show winners on that contest page I posted earlier.

All sections are included in this case, because this VB mod doesn't have option to exclude certain forums from the contest.

....nope :)

This contest is off to a great start! The old record for member visits within 24 hours, set when the RSS Submitter was released as I recall, has now fallen. It stood at 610 since February and when I just checked was standing at 619. I am seeing members who have been somewhat less than active posting. I hope that those returning members will see that the value of this forum continues to grow and that they will want to participate more in the future.

I am excited to work on this even though I am a new member only.

thanks to the information, I like IMtalk.it's very help me

Hmmm...nice contest.
Gotta try and get close at least...

This will be good rat race... :D

Andre

We are coming to the end of this contest soon and still no winner.....
I just hope someone will take this prize.

Admin, how to check current status of activity points for this contest? It would be good if a progress bar is set to be in each member profile to check how much activity points he has gained till the start from the contest.

Yes, I know, but this is something I don't have control over. It is a VB plug-in, product.
I'm currently proposing that company some improvements on that plug-in and waiting on them to update it.
Once someone reaches point target it will be visible in contest menu.
Also you can track your activity points and you have monthly activity which can give you some clues....

Your monthly activity points calculates from 1st to 1st for each of the months.
Contest calculates points from the beginning of the contest till the end of the contest or if you reach target points before the end date of the contest.

Have you had a look at the activity tab in your profile? There should be a few colored lines that show activity, weekly, daily and monthly. it also gives you the amount of each as well.

Thanks, got it now :D

Strange results........I am very slow as often i did previous. I have to put hard more efforts to get me back on track :)

Its the beginning of a new month now, so it would have started over again. but the system has kept track of your month's activities and will add the activities you do now until the 4th as well, to cover the competition dates. :) You're welcome.

I don't post just for competition as if this thing is in my mind then believe me i have made this already. But this thing is good to track of my month activities and it will push me to put some more useful posts.

Oh I dont see, i have crossed 1100 now :)

:) Me neither, but you are right, it is a good way to see what you have been up to on the forum. I like the system, and love being able to see what I am doing, and what I have done.

Time is running so fast, and i think i have reached that 1000 mark :D

Your name isn't up in lights, yet: Internet Marketing & SEO Forum | IMTalk.org

hehe... because i calculate the points manually, from the 4/10 - 3/11. (4/10-31/10 = 950), (1/11-3/11= 70) 950+70=1020

maybe i am wrong, nevermind i will add more points to see my name up in lights or not before 4/11

Yes, that is strange, I know for a fact that last month only you have 900+ points.
I was looking in DragonByte Technologies forum and some members/forum owners also reported some issues with contest plug-in...
I was also doing some stuff with database, so maybe something of that influenced this contest???
Really I don't know what is happening....??

I think he must be manually:) announced to win the contest manually :)

On further investigation of this issue with contest plugin and looking at Top Posters in last 30 days he has 554 posts which is more than enough for this contest :)
Top Posters

Also top thread starters in last 30 days is 30 threads:
Internet Marketing & SEO Forum | IMTalk.org

So to calculate:
554 posts - 30(threads) = 524 x 2 = 1048
30 threads x 6 = 180
only that is 1228 points in last 30 days, so since 04.10. when contest started.

Plus points for thanks, reputation, etc....

Sorry for this issue with the contest plugin.
I assume something happen to database or plugin tables during this contest.
I will do some simple test for next contest to make sure this doesn't happen again,
also will check DragonByte Technologies forum and support for possible problems with this plugin.


So franberries is winner of this contest for sure!!

You might want to read the first post in the thread. The information you seek is stated there.

If no one reaches 1000 activity points in a month period,
then we will start new contest next month, starting from the 0 activity points and prize money($100) will be carried and added from last months to the new contest, which will then result in $200 prize money for that second contest and so on...

---

I may be reading something into this that is not there, but it sounds to me like it is an ongoing monthly contest. I took it to mean there is a $100 monthly prize posted but that if it is not claimed it will roll over. If it is an ongoing contest the start of the second installment may be delayed until the problem with the plug-in is sorted.

Congrats Franberries. :)

Great Contest thanx admin

Congrats Franberries! :)

Congratulations franberries

Need to work hard and hard. :)

Congratulations
