We will be having a contest for Asus in the near future.

This will not be based on hardware you have but rather hardware you want :yepp:

It will not take any skills nor require you to beat anyones scores.

We are working out the details now as well as prizes. I expect to have this started as soon as possible.

You spelled upcoming wrong :D

Other than that, I'll dabble

And you used 'spelled' instead of 'spelt' :rolleyes: :p: ;) You know that I'm just joking around :D

As for the contest, FUGGER, do you know when you will have any details? I must admit I am quite looking forward to it.

Cheers.

6:37am here, first coffee beside me and I read this and laughed!
I love a guy that can make a joke at his own expense.;)
We all have our strengths and weaknesses and should be able to joke about them.:up:
Personally I figured that if the contest is being able to spell Asus correctly I might have a chance!:rofl:

Also vbulletin won't let you post with only all caps, it shrinks them, that might be part of what happened.

Yea i know, the whole message was in capitals(before the edit comment) and shrunk to lower case after i posted. I even clicked on the actual smiley face. I think messages under 10char automatically go lower case for some wierd reason. bug??

Also vbulletin won't let you post with only all caps, it shrinks them, that might be part of what happened.

ah thats probably it then. shrunk the D's too.

Is it US members only or can all members participate no matter which country they are from? If they cannot, could you be swayed by members from countries other than the US paying postage? :p:

Ok folks, many apologies for the delay in this.
Fugger has been very busy and asked me to take over this lil contest here.

Within the next 24 hours I will create a new thread with all the juicy details and a link in here to the new thread.

Again, apologies for the delay, but we will get it going very soon.

Trust me, all can enter!~!

The contest will go until the end of the month.

We send in the completed survey correct? How do we complete the survey? Do we use the highlight tool in word, delete all answers that don't correspond to our choice, print it out, tick the boxes and then scan it onto our computer?

Sorry if I am coming across as a bit dim, it is just I have no idea what to do :shrug:

Yes, send in the completed survey. As for how to fill it, your choice, they hadn't specified exactly so do whatever is easiest for you.

Bobsama

10-20-2007, 09:19 AM

I changed all the little boxes to be an X, and made my answer bold. Hopefully they'll get it. I was originally just going to bold, but I decided that it's too hard.

Anyways--I don't have any DDR3, so if I would win I'd probably sell the board for a better graphics card (G92 or RV670), memory (2x2GB DDR2 800), and some other stuff (maybe change out the processor already).

Anyways--can't wait to find out who wins. Good luck to all--especially those (including myself) that can't afford that kind of hardware.
