Our Third Birthday Contest Off to a Great Start

Although our contest just launched yesterday, it’s already been going quite well. Sadly, we ran into a few initial issues not originally found in our beta testing of the survey, so it seems many e-mails did not make it to their destination. The most notable were addresses with Hotmail, but some ISP addresses suffered the same fate.

In the end, we had to re-write our e-mail headers, and surprisingly, that seems to have fixed things. Anyone who signed up within the first 18 hours of the contest and didn’t receive an e-mail, should have received it last night. If not, please shoot me an e-mail and I will make sure you get your validation key. That goes for anyone else who signs up from this point forward as well, but I am quite sure there will be no more instances of this. If you don’t receive an e-mail, please remember to check your spam/junk folders.

For those unaware, we are giving out a full gaming computer (valued at $4,500) to one lucky person who fills out our quick twenty-question survey. If you haven’t participated yet, please check out our contest page and get on it! It could wind up being the best three-minutes you’ve ever spent, plus, it helps us out in the process!

In order to help better the site, we have set up a survey that asks straight-forward questions. We want to know what we are doing right, wrong and what we could do to improve, all while making sure that we are catering to types of content and other things that many of you want. This twenty-question survey should take no more than three minutes for most, and by filling it out, you will be helping us a lot.
