If I sign up you guy's would be competing for second place. Let that marinate for a second.
seems doubtful considering the last cup comp........If I sign up you guy's would be competing for second place. Let that marinate for a second.
I wasn't in the last one. Sunningdale didn't let me murder you guys. She said and I quote" you can't join the competition, it's unfair to the rest of the world."seems doubtful considering the last cup comp........

We have advertising and the companies that advertise on riu seem pretty reasonable. Has there been any talk of getting the scrogco guys, or GorrilaSeedBank, or bong outlet.ca or the others to sponsor the comp? I mean personally id think that with even three of rius advertizers on board they could put together some pretty awesome prize baskets full of pipes, papers, tshirts, beans, and maybe some other stuff. Id be happy winning a bong or some beans if i placed in the top five. I can see where riu is coming from protecting our advertisers from free competition, but why not see if our advertisers want the advertising, they all have teams that do advertizing and site management after all. They want guys like me reccomending bonza seeds to all the new growers inquiring about where a good place to get seeds is dont they?Its ALL up to the host... Every last detail...
We'll have to settle this right now...
@sunni We want our competition to continue. We would also like as a community to see the top contestants get rewarded. Can we come up with some sort of compromise, so we can keep this going? We're in the 5th year, this has become a tradition on RIU. Personally I feel like it could bring more advertisers, and more traffic here.
Gorilla and Midweek Song have supported the last two comps and I'm pretty sure on board for this one, pending judgment from the Mods here... So was/is Inda-Gro, but they pay for ads here (yet)... I feel like the party has been great for both of them (GSB, MWS) I think the party is even what helped draw out the advertising slots... I also talked with a rep from smoke cartel that seemed pretty stoked to support us... It really seems like the community wants this to happen and certain people are either being greedy or irritated that they're not involved! PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!We have advertising and the companies that advertise on riu seem pretty reasonable.

Anything that can make riu more of a community im on board with. I love to see members ordering from our advertisers and the companies love it too. more money for them, and more stuff for us. Its a win win, and everyones happy.Gorilla and Midweek Song have supported the last two comps and I'm pretty sure on board for this one, pending judgment from the Mods here...

There's many other sights that have cool little grow comps seen a red bull can grow and a yogurt cup grow so if all else fails I'm getting in somewhere..I hope we get to have our comp. Hell I've bought the stuff to make a mini dwc. Just my luck though. I could fall in a bucket of titties and come out sucking my thumb.

Thanks for responding sunni. Sounds like rius rules havent changed nor will they change for the contest. Ive never entered before so im not sure what the past contests have resulted in, but am i correct in assuming that it would be alright to rally the advertizers to sponser the contest this time around without any repercussion?Can you be more clear ?
I'm not sure what you want from us ?
You've been told several times your competition should only be for bragging rights
And that regardless of your competition users are not allowed to do selling trading hook ups and gifts
But under the "impression" you give out no prizes we never had a problem with your comp
when i went back and read the last few pages it seems to be a lot of speculation, something to do with how we have advertising companies now? and that you heard from a little birdy we the mods want to do away with your competition....little birdies are often misinformed or like to embellish drastically what they've been told.
Where are you getting we want to do away with your competition ?
I see nothing in this thread but speculation about advertising ?
Who came up with these speculations ?
Did you get another message from a different mod ?
We have the no gifting rule because it's not safe but mostly because our lawyers do not like it and it can get our website shut down
Every year you guys ignore our pleads to ask you to stop trading gifting via our website
We only have that rule because for your safety and to keep rollitup online not cause we wanna be jackasses
So I'm inclined to believe you're just going to go ahead with the contest as you planned that you will break rules again and give out prizes anyways
but maybe you can please stop using our internal system to have people's prizes handed out
I don't need to see people freaking out and reporting their full name and addresses with our internal system which actually happened by the way.
Use email or something that isn't rollitup
So why tag me?
Did you want me to organize the advertisers to be apart of your competition ?
I'm not sure I'm following your request it was pretty vague

Oh shit it's not is it.Thats Not Your Thumb
