I am thinking a new method of distribute a giveaway's prizes:
1, boss goes to random.org and generate a number between 1 and 100, and take a screenshot of it
2, he comes back here and announce what the prizes are and the competition begins
3, we all try to post a lucky number to match boss's number(whoever posts more than one number will be disqualified and can't be edited)
4, after 3 or 4 minutes or enough entries , our boss posts the screenshot. The first five who match the winning number( or closest to number, below or above) are the winners!
Anyone wants to play this game?

this would be fair too except some extra burden on Dustin.

if some pro coders can make some scripts to make it easier then he might consider it.

Scripts would be easy, I'm just worried on the amount of messages. Also, we've seen how laggy LET can get when lots of people are refreshing at the same time 😆

Winners being selected via a raffle would reduce the nonstop F5s I think. Like we will have a few minutes to type instead of everyone trying to comment in a split second.

Ok, have a good evening everyone. Have to go home... I may or may not join via phone later, but I am too slow with phone to win anything

Next page will be 530, 25 pages till 555 which everyone was so hyped about

Not sure yet, probably going to make it last an hour or so to let everyone get a chance

Hey RackNerd!

I'd like to know how I can upgrade my current VPS to one of these deals. I got the 11/11 promotion 2 years ago and right now the 2.5GB VPS is a better deal in terms of price and storage.

Cheers.

Hello -- we don't allow promotion hoping in short. However, depending on the upgrade, I may be able to do something for you. Just send me an e-mail [email protected] and I'll work with you.

Emailed! Thnx Dustin
