About a year or so ago, members of this forum participated in the biggest competition ever seen in the Sourthern Hemisphere on A New Life Down Under (that's your typical Aussie waffle version - blown out of all proportion to impress ). Almost every other day one or two people join this forum, but they don't post. Bizarre. Perhaps they're hoping to receive frequent mail updates. How interesting... Wouldn't it be just dandy if everyone that joined followed up with a post, and then when they got a reply, well, wouldn't it just be nice. Forums rarely have competitions to improve audience participation. In fact, does anyone know of another that has? Are we alone, I wonder? We gave away a spangly DVD of a beautiful part of Australia as the first prize and, if my fuzzy memory doesn't fail me, the idea was to put yourself in the draw by amassing 30 or so posts by a certain time, thereby getting to know one another better and standing a chance of winning the grand prize. It makes me very happy to report that the winner of that prize is still with us, scribbling from time to time and helping the forum tickover. So are a few of the original battlers! But now the time has come to rev the engine some more. From a gentle tickover it's time to go put the pedal to the floor. It's COMPETITION TIME Stage 1. Forums are places for discussion. I invite EVERYONE to participate in this first part of the competition. Indeed, post as many times as you like (there may be bonus points to be had...) and when it's time to move on to stage 2, we will all know who is in the running for the prize and what it is. So here's the deal. It's time to have some fun. The objective is to post frequently, and for every single post in this thread we'd like you to post in one other thread too. (Is this too much to ask? Perhaps it is...) Start a new one if you want - that would be great. So, one post here, one post somewhere else. Here's the clever bit. In order to qualify for stage 2, you must post in here. That'll give us a shortlist of entrants. What is stage 2? No telling yet. And there is no definite deadline to stage 1 other than when there appears to be enough competitors to move on to stage 2. So tell us what is it that you're looking to win? Be realistic (please... ) and let us all know what it is that you'd like A New Life Down Under to give away as a prize and perhaps why other suggestions made by fellow members aren't really realistic (but be nice about it). Remember, this is a migration forum, Australian based, so make the prize you'd like to receive something useful in that respect. Oh yes, no matter how many times I post, I can't win, so all's fair.The competition is now open. Let the fun begin.
