Alright everyone, got your game faces on? No? WELL, PUT THEM ON PEOPLE.

On your marks, get set... GO!

 

How to Refer: User the link in the sidebar (under blogs) or tell the person you are referring to enter your name when they join. You can use Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, and even Neopets if you’re feeling risky. Refer however you’d like as long as you are not referring on competing forums or breaking the law.

When to start: NOW. What are you waiting for?!

When it ends: November 1st. You have an entire month to refer as many people as your heart desires. You will not get results until about a week after the contest ends. 

 

Full Rules: 

1. You can use the link provided in the sidebar or just old-fashioned “door to door” recruiting to refer people.

2. Try and get the people you have referred to enter your username into the ‘referred by’ box when they sign up. They don’t have to enter a name to sign up so if they don’t, then please keep track of the people you have referred so they can count towards your total. It's just easier this way because we can keep track through the mod. 

3. The person you referred MUST have five posts by five days after the contest ends or they will not be counted towards your total. Please keep track of this as well. We’re looking for activity – not people who sign up to help you win a contest and then disappear.

4. We will have zero tolerance for cheating. Cheating is when someone uses unfair and/or unstated tactics in order to try and win a contest. Basically, anything which isn’t in the spirit of the competition. If you are found to be cheating you will receive a warning and, depending on the severity, may possibly be banned from future contests. Don't test me.

5. If you refer an account from the same IP as you then it will not be counted unless you can prove that you are two different people. This means a picture of yourselves with your username written or any other way you can think of.

Let's do this people!!

[Strategist]

Got friends on the outside that you want to tell about this awesome community? Well then, why not make some bank while doing so? Get those referrals cranking!

[Emily]

I hope you all are referring.

 

C'mon now. You could get a nice chunk of money from this.THINK OF ALL THE THINGS YOU COULD DO. 

[Katya]

This is such a cool initiative.

Sadly, I don't have friends to refer.

[Strategist]

I know of one person getting a referral so far, but their friend needs to post at least 5 times before the end of the contest, otherwise it won't count and they won't win $$$

My few friends are not interested in forums I'm trying to bring my cousin, but it's hard.

[Emily]

I believe in all of you.

Can someone sign up on the same IP address as you? Cause I can probably get a few people to sign up, but I'd just wait till they're at my house to do it.

Unfortunately we decided against this due to the uncertainty of whether people would be using multiple accounts to 'cheat' their way to victory (not saying you would either) so, I have disabled the referrals from same IP option. This can be revisited IF we can come up with a solid way of confirming new accounts aren't the same person.

Added a new rule since it wasn't very clear before.

 

If you refer an account from the same IP as you then it will not be counted unless you can prove that you are two different people.

A picture or something with your usernames? You don't have to post it in public. You can just send it to me lol

Alrighty! That sounds easy enough. I'll send the picture after I get him to sign up.
