To all those aware of our "current situation", I have been discussing with
@rollitup about how we can proceed with this contest to the best of our ability and to continue on with "the spirit" of the competition... That being said, I have been told that there is to be
NO MENTION OF PRIZES FROM UNPAID ADVERTISERS, PERIOD.
I will continue to do what I can to continue this "Cup", but there will most likely be some changes... Exchanging personal information via RIU's PM system is evidently "their" liability, so don't do any of that... I am attempting to contact the owner who uses the profile
@Admin .... Maybe if we let him or her know how much this little shindig means to us, and how much of an honor it is to win something cool, and then give back to the community (in form of hosting/setting up prizes/pseudo-moderating) really is... I'll let some of this sink in with you all, but so far from my understanding:
THE SHOW CAN CONTINUE!
I'll be contacting some RIU advertisers and see if any may be interested in supporting us....
In the mean time, I'm going to tally the entrants from this contest and the last 7 and try to work up a spreadsheet, and some links, maybe some testimonials from previous entrants or winners.... That'll go to the owner and potential supporters of us; I want them to know that we're serious, have a great track record, well organized, and that this is beneficial to all parties involved!
Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!
