Since joining CGN I have come up with the name for three products (as well as two bands and a restaurant)....my background is in a related field
. For this shotgun I have the perfect name.... But: I refuse to do it on Facebook. You'd think that since they are getting a name for thousands cheaper than they would pay a PMC for the same, they'd crowd source everywhere (and 150 bucks in GC's isn't so much a "prize" as it is a fantastic deal for a name.)
Would ya listen to this guy!
I wish there was something that is the exact opposite of the wiserhood clap so i could post it here.
I think ya got a little something on your nose there....it's brown![]()
If you want to participate in the contest and can live with the way it's set up and the prize as offered go for it.
If not, why not just ignore it and move on?
I'm really confused by the people hacking on the contest and Wanstalls over it. What you say might be 100% true but why not just let it be? It's a free contest, all 'free' contests must benefit the ones holding the contest in a way THEY feel is 'worth it' or they wouldn't do it.
As it costs nothing to participate and doing so is optional then those that feel it's 'worth it' will enter, those that don't won't....or I guess they will come on CGN and hack on it if they think THAT is 'worth it'
Simple: A CGN sponsor is promoting a contest that is A: not open to CGN'ers and B: promoting another website/encouraging people to join it....
Want to have a Facebook contest open to only Facebook members? Promote it on Facebook. If it's not a CGN member contest, why do I gotta see a Facebook promo thread every time I click the "new posts" button...here at CGN....where CGN members can't enter.
