There's a New Kid In Town

If you are a user of Entrecard, you may know by now that the new owner has decided to shut down our forum. His reasons are rather unimportant since it is his website and his choice to make. Indeed, there is nothing that any Entrecard user can do to remedy the situation. The new owner will do as he pleases...

Well, in response to the abrupt closure of our beloved forum, Spicybugz - with a little bit of help from Yours Truly - has opened a brand new forum where users will be free to discuss whatever they wish with very few rules in place. Complain about Entrecard? Sure thing. Share ideas? Definitely. Make new friends? Hopefully.

Now, you may be wondering why in the world I'm telling you about this brand new forum over at the Spicybugz World site when I'm supposed to be telling you about this grand new contest with awesome free stuff being given away. After all, what you really want to know is what I might be offering to give out and what you have to do to win said offering.

See - I know my readers so well, don't I.

Let's talk about the important details first.

The End: Entries for this contest will be accepted until October 31st, 2009 - 11:59 PM (Eastern Standard Time)

Oh wait - that isn't what you wanted to know, is it? (hehe)

The Rules: To enter this contest, you must register as a user at the new forum. After you register, you must leave a comment here with your User Name for the forum. When leaving your comment, be sure to give me contact information and your prize preferences in order of what you would like to win most.

This is absolutely THE ONLY way to enter my give away. I know many blogs offer extra entries for following or subscribing or blogging about the contest. While I would thoroughly love for you to follow me on Twitter, or subscribe to my RSS Feed, or even tell the world about my contest here... I think these are things that should be done because you really want to follow me or talk about me - not because you want to increase your chances to win a prize.

So, there is only one entry per person and the only way to enter is to sign up for our new forum.

The contest is open to all readers. You are not required to have a blog, be in the USA or have anything at all to do with Entrecard.

Go HERE to register.

The winners will be chosen via a random selection process. Only one prize will be awarded per winner.

Winners will be notified via email and posted here on November 2nd, 2009.

If any winner does not respond within 7 days to claim his prize, a new winner will be chosen for that prize.

That isn't what you want, either, is it?
