    5k = 5,000 -- k is short for 1,000.

    Yep like actual prizes. Video cards, hard disk drives, sound cards, mice, etc. I definitely know how there is a lot of Computer Hope forum and newsletter users who are outside of the United States, which is why I'm having such a hard time setting up the logistics for sending out all the Computer Hope swag / promotional items.  


    I could do with a new Hard Disk Drive lol :P

    Sounds a great idea Admin.

    Yay!  ;D  And what would the prizes be given away for? I know for newsletter folks, but do they have to do something in order to do this? Any catches?  ;)  :-/

    At this time I believe prizes and contests would be forum member exclusive. What the contests would be is yet to be determined at this point.

    The Computer Hope swag / promotional items would be given to some of the longest Newsletter readers as a token of gratitude and also to a large percentage of the all the people who help out on the forums. ;D

    As mentioned earlier this will not be happening for a while, but apparently from the feedback it's definitely something everyone wants to see. I guess it's understanable, nothing wrong with free stuff. Apart from the mailing issues with out of country people the Computer Hope promotional items should be easy and I've already have a lot of the swag here. When doing taxes this year I'm going to be seeing if prizes / awards are tax deductible, if so I will likely be giving out some nice items out of my pocket.

    Additionally I'll try to see if I can hit up some sponsorship. With as big as audience as Computer Hope and the Computer Hope forums is currently getting I'm sure I could get some really good sponsored items. I know from LAN parties with a few dozen participants they are able to get a lot of nice items for their participants. I'm sure with several thousand active forum members, millions of unique eyes seeing the site each month, and the thousands of newsletter subscribers I could manage to get some sponsored items. However, I'm not about to sell the Computer Hope soul and start plastering ads from sponsors everywhere like a lot of other sites do. I'll buy the prizes before I do that!

    But anyhow stay tuned I'll update the forums when this happens.

      Sounds cool. The higher memebers get their own prizes, and the newer members get their own set. Sounds like a great idea.

            You can check the ammount of posts at the bottom of the main page. Currently at 96232, it's going a little slower than I anticipated but still gradually getting up there.

                Take a look at the religious definition of 'novice' and then examine 'head', 'heads', and 'god-head'.
