Win a PS3 160GB: Interesting gaming post competition

Hi everyone!

We love giving back to our community and we have what we hope will prove to be a fun way to do just that.

We will be giving away a PS3 160Gb in the coming weeks, but entering the competition is going to be different from the norm.

To enter this competition, we are asking the MyGaming forum members to simply create forum topics about any interesting gaming related fact, a cool how-to guide, tips and tricks, or anything else which gaming-minded people will be interested in.

Your post can be as elaborate or simple as you wish.

For this purpose we have created a new forum where all such posts must go - that forum is here.

How it works

The competition will close on Sunday 1 April 2012, at which point the forum will be locked.

The MyGaming staff will narrow down the list of entries to a reasonable number of the 10 best contributions.

The MyGaming community will vote on a poll to decide who contributed the most interesting information. That person will be the grand prize winner.

The winner will be announced on Friday, 17 April at 12PM.

Rules

MyGaming members may start as many threads as they like. Each will be eligible for consideration in the final voting list.

There will be 10 individual names on the voting poll. For each member that contributed more than one thread, those will be listed in the voting poll thread topic so that others can gauge just how impressed they are (or aren't) when it comes time to vote.

Discussion of each topic is welcome and encouraged. Not only will it be fun, but it will help us narrow down the winners.


Good luck and have fun!

Any questions regarding the competition are welcome in this thread.

UPDATE: Due to the large number of submissions, and my forgetting about the long weekend and public holidays, I have extended the winner announce date to 17 April. This will give everyone a fair chance to vote.

I should hopefully be able to start the voting poll over the coming long-weekend. Sorry to keep you hanging, but I want to do things properly :)
 
Are cut and pastes from other websites with no input by the cut and paster frowned upon or allowed? Because there is already a straight cut and paste from MyBroadband which is the exact same comp entry .........

James what happens to the threads once the comp is over? Some of them could end up being quite informative.
 
Well I created my entry. Its more of a column rather then compilation of links on tips and tricks of say how to pick your nose effectively during an intense gaming section bla bla bla.

As long as the content is mostly the work of the contributor, and not just a straight copy and paste from another website, then it's okay :)

When the competition is done I will go through the posts and move them to the relevant section of the MyGaming forum.

If this proves successful and the members enjoy it, we will do more such things in future :)
 
I think this is a good competition format. I've seen alot of kak so far though and alot of one hit wonders but its generating loads of traffic for the site.

Judging from Mybb response to competition, a lot of good ones didnt get in top 10, instead the mediocre ones did so hope its different with this one.

Want to see the helpful ones good enough to be stickies going through and not info on outdated stuff not being used anymore.
 
Wow that forums is like the Wild West, or maybe a scene from Resident Evil where you're walking through an abandoned hospital and you keep hearing strange noises.
 
Thanks for the entries everyone; the forum has been closed will we go through the entries. Bear with us while we get a final list of 10 - there were a lot!

Cant take the suspense of finding out who the Top 10 are and how you choosing the Top 10?
 
Sjoe; I've been super busy this week but I haven't forgotten. Please forgive me while I try wrap it up.

When I launched the competition I forgot about the long weekend bang in the middle of it. I think that to be fair, we should start the voting round on Tuesday so that everyone is back from holiday and can have their vote counted.

What do you guys think?
