Thumbs up Win a $25 gas card from EcoModder (3 to give away - great odds!)



It's the Irony Contest: gas is cheap, so forum activity is down, so we're rewarding loyal members with free gas!



As a way of saying thanks to the regular members who keep on contributing regardless of how much it costs to fill the tank, Tim and I decided to hold a FREE gas card contest.

We're giving away $75 (in the form of three $25 prizes) over the next 3 months.
  • November 18, 1:30 PM EST: 1 card to be given away
  • December 18, 1:30 PM EST: 1 card
  • January 18, 1:30 PM EST: 1 card

TO QUALIFY: (it's super easy, and the odds are great)

1) All you have to do is post in the forum, a minimum of 10 posts per contest period, in any threads.

2) If you make 10 posts or more, each of those posts count as a ballot in that month's draw. The more you post, the better your odds (but see NOTE, below).

3) Each month we'll randomly draw a name to win.

NOTE 1: please don't "stuff the ballot box" with useless posts. If a significant number of a winner's posts are meaningless (like short "me too!" or "+1!" messages), we reserve the right to pull another name from the hat.

NOTE 2: For non-US winners, instead of a gas card we'll make other arrangements for a prize equal in value to $25 USD.


Your odds of winning are decent. GOOD LUCK, and thanks for being an active member of the community!
