Starting December 1, 2023 you can win money just for posting in the forums on C3VR!

This will be in the form of a contest with three types of payouts:

1. End of Month
   • Every month starting December 2023 the members in the top 10 of the Top Posters list for the current month will be entered into a random drawing to win an Amazon gift card.  We'll draw 3 winners randomly from the top 10 who will each receive a $25 Amazon gift card (via email, so make sure your profile has the correct email address)!
   • We'll keep doing the same thing every month through 2024.
2. End of June
   • Then at the end of June, we'll draw the 3 winners for June, but also 3 winners for the previous 6 months (also randomly selected from the top 10 for the past 6 months).  Those 3 random winners will receive a $50 Amazon gift card (via email, so make sure your profile has the correct email address)!
3. End of Year
   • We'll keep doing the monthly drawing through the end of 2024, and at the end of December we'll draw 3 winners for the entire year! Out of the top 10 posters for all of 2024, we'll randomly draw 3 winners to receive a $100 Amazon gift card (via email, so make sure your profile has the correct email address)!

You'll be able to track your status at any time by going to the "Top Posters List" from the "Forums" menu.

Rules:

1. New posts and replies to existing posts count.
2. Your posts/replies must have substance.  Posts that are obviously made simply to be counted as a post will not qualify.
3. Your C3VR membership must be active at the end of each drawing period to qualify.  This can be any one of our membership levels, free or paid.
4. Myself, Adam Wartell, plus the other admins, Norsky and Adam's Apple, will still show on the top poster list, but we will not be included in the contest. 
5. We deserve the right to change/cancel this contest at any time.  One reason would be that the same 10 people are always in the top 10 each month.  The idea for this contest is to get more and new people to post other than those who already do.
6. We'll post the winners in this thread at the end of each period.

Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!

Below are the top 10 posters for December 2023

Excluded from the random drawing are me (#1), Norsky #3 and Adams' Apple #6.

Therefor, the 3 randomly chosen numbers between 1 & 13 (excluding 1, 3 & 6) are:

• 7: 73Shark
• 9: TonyC
• 10: Phil's-Stingray

I'll be sending each of them a Private Message to confirm their current email address so I can send them each a $25 Amazon Gift Card.

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all that posted last month for your participation and support!

Greetings, and Congranultions to those who were chosen. New parts are on the way! Stay safe, and enjoy the rest of your seat time. 

Missed it by that much! - Maxwell Smart.

We're tied not Manchester....😁

Below is the to 10 Post rankings for the month of January 2024. (List excludes me and the other admins).

The rankings highlighted in green were randomly selected as the 3 winners for the month!

I will be in contact with the winners.

Keep posting a lot and maybe you'll win next month!

I only see 2 green stars.

Not the stars. They are the lifers. The green boxes to the left of the names. 

Number 5, 8, and 12.

A very pleasant surprise to see that I am one of those selected!  Thanks very much - to what ever mechanism allowed it!😄
