We're holding our first contest now. The contest is to see who can refer the most active members to the site. We're new and we need a boost in activity to get us off the ground, so I thought this would be a great way to get some new members to the site. The contest will officially begin on Februrary 21, 2006. It will end March 7, 2006. That gives you three weeks to refer as many people as possible to the site. Also keep in mind that the members you refer should be active members, not just registering and never showing up again.

The winner will have a neat little medal placed on their posts. Yeah, it's nothing much, but you'll be doing a good deed by helping us out!

To be sure you get credit for your referrals, give everyone your personal referal link:

http://www.talkbudgies.com/register.php?referrerid=YOURUSERNUMBER

Replace YOURUSERNUMBER, with your user id, which can be found by viewing your profile. Look at the address bar of your browser, the number at the end is your user id. (For me, my profile page ends in member.php?u=1, so my user id is 1.)

I hope that everyone participates in this contest and that we can get some activity going. I plan on having more contests in the future. This is just the beginning.

Okay the contest is now over! There is a tie for first place! The two winners of our first contest are me and billy and lily. We stole the win with only one referral each. Congrats to both of us. Look out for our medals to show up soon.

We'll be doing more contests in the future. Hopefully the next ones will be more exciting. ;)

I have a couple ideas in mind. I just want to wait a little while so we can get a few more members to register on the site and be able to participate.

My hope is that we got a lot of active members in the future. We already have plenty of activity (yesterday and the day before we record-breaking for this site in terms of activity), and I'd like to thank all of you for that. But the reality is, there are really only about 20-25 active members on the site. Sure getting 210+ posts in one day on this site from only 20 members is great, but imagine if we could get more members (say, 50 or so) to post that same amount. We'd be getting around 500 posts a day! So as you can see, it would be beneficial to wait a little while until we get some more active members here. :)

Yes I see, good idea!

We have 118 members now, and we're getting more posts, so, can we have another contest now? Please?!
