New Years Day Event

I just want to say that I think this is fantastic to do for your readers. This surely involved lots of work from the whole team. Time on your holiday, and it's greatly appreciated, whether we win or not, it's great fun.

Outside of the speed issues, I want to thank you for doing several drawings that pull from all the registered users. I think this is extremely thoughtful way to include everyone.

Thanks guys, you are a great team. I knew there were more reasons I hung out here daily, other than my glutton for news. :wink:

I am glad to see a lot of all user pulls, and all who post pulls. Makes it much more fun than every single thread being "first 3 posters" and such.

I still hope for more like the parody contest some day. Logo designs, small program writing, creative linking to PPC Thoughts / creative advertising of PPC Thoughts... there's tons of good skill based contests to be had some day that could really spice things up.

I remember the Internet Link Exchange (one of the early, and best, banner exchange programs when that sort of thing was new enough to work) had a banner design and creative advertisement contest like every week or so. It was a ton of fun, and everyone who participated got like 100 free credits or something.

What a great way to start the New Year.

Many thanks for all the efforts over the past year.

Absolutely. It's been brilliant fun checking back every hour to see what the latest contest is. Big pat on the back and round of applause to the PPC Thoughts team for their hard work and effort in this.

Well done!

I'm thrilled to see that so many people are enjoying themselves - we're having fun too! I just wish people would all play fair.

Here's some good news - the contests keep growing. One vendor is donating 50 (!!) copies each of two of his apps, so this is now a $5000 giveaway contest.

Really appreciate all that you guys are doing today. Now if I can learn how to refresh faster on a dialup i'll be golden.

By all means, if you think you have a good idea, submit it as news. We're all trying to make this site a better, more interactive, and fun place for everyone.

BTW, this whole thing was Jason's idea. The man is simply brilliant. :werenotworthy:

Agree it's a fantastic idea. I only found the site & joined a few days ago (guess what I got for xmas!). So do you do this every week?

BTW Ed Hansberry - cough, 17 rings, cough...

You guys are Awesome! This is really fun, I'm getting a heck of a kick out of checking to see what the new offering is

This is a great way to start off the year! Thank you so much for doing this, you're making a lot of people really happy.

PS> Any chance you'll start a thread for contest ideas? (and there's a contest in itself-best contest idea.....)

Will we know all the winners by tonight or tomorrow?
