Hello All...
First, let me say that I have never ran a competition like this before, and it was huge... people enjoyed it. But, we did run into a few problems.
After our first drawing, we contacted users via email... both of those user email addresses bounced. We then tried again a few days later, still, they bounced. So, we took at stab and came up with 2 more names, only this time, one bounce and one no show. So, we waited a few more days and attempted again, no luck.
Anyhow, this went on, and on and on... we FINALLY got in contact with our winners. They have both opted out of having their name announced for fear of "standing out" in the crowd here online.
Well, okay... that is fine... no where in our rules did we say you had to be named... and so, soon we will begin a new competition, for something newer and cooler and we will do it right.
Our new promotion, you will have to give contact information so we can contact you via mail, in addition, as per terms of winning, you will have to allow us to use your name on the site and your picture. How's that!
This will all be done in hopes of not having a big fizzle at the end of the promotion period like we experienced on the last one.
Enjoy!
