(Late) Happy Holidays Giveaway
« on: Thu, 08 January 2015, 02:06:37 »
So I promised back in November that I would do a Holiday Giveaway. Then I dropped off the face of the planet, but I'm back now. And need to make good on that promise.
So, to stay in the spirit of giving, I have 5 mystery caps up for grabs. To enter, put down the names of two people you think should receive a cap. The winner will receive one cap, and two will go to each of the people they recommended. I will end this a week from now. So get in all your entries. :thumb:

Yay, I love give aways.  Thanks for setting this up.

The 2 people that I think should get caps are Synjin since he is so excited about this hobby and booper so that she can put something on that lovely jd40.

I can't read and made a joke showing I can't read.  Mine will be coming soon.

1.  Photekq.  He's always a lot of help and friendly.  He's helping (and by helping I mean doing all the hard work) me with a case idea I had and helping make it a reality.

2.  Hoffmanmyster, because he keeps it real.

There are many more and choosing just two was tough.

I would have to say nubbinator and swill. Both have made excellent contributions to this community, and both have been generous and extremely kind hearted (at least since I have been here  ;) ). They both deserve a nice cap!  :)

Sent for his work with Ctrl Alt and the blog.
Nub for setting up the SS and having awesome holiday spirit.

These guys were both really big during this holiday season and provided entertainment while helping the community.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Two of the most generous and contributory members we have. They are both extremely altruistic and always patient and respectful. There are tons of other people who stand out as good nominations but in my mind those two are truly exceptional and deserving of some free swag!

I would just give dorkvader a cap. He's an awesome person to hang out with, and is a massive help to the community. Last time we were talking about artisan caps though he said he didn't really care about them. He would rather just have tons of boards. :)) So I need to get some rare boards before I have a good gift for him. :rolleyes:

Ok guys so in my infinite wisdom I thought I was leaving for college next Sunday. Not sure how I screwed that up, but If anyone could it would be me. So I have to end this giveaway before I leave which will be early tomorrow morning. So midnight tonight is the cutoff. If you want to get in, submit NOW. Super sorry about the **** up. I'll have to make it up with a better giveaway in the future. ;) :rolleyes: ;)
