Ok, we had a lot of participation and decided to give out a bunch of prizes! All these peeps got a free 6 month GFM: DuckLover2399 Lothiriel maybejoey tiki244 new contest: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=583127

Ok, we're closing this contest for now so we can tally up the winners! We'll open another one up, but we've decided we need 2-3 volunteers to be in charge of keeping the contest going and keeping track of points. Any volunteers, please send me a PM!

We've updated the rules in the first post. If you have ideas on how to make the game go smoother (different rules, processes, etc.) please let us know. One of the things we're struggling with is keeping up with tracking the "points", so we'd love to hear ideas on how to make this easier too.

Yup, if the contest stalls for an hour for any reason, a new question can be asked.

Quote: WOW, I'M IMPRESSED WITH THAT ONE!

DOH... sorry, didn't mean to leave this closed so long (I got caught up with a skylight / solartube installation).

Closing topic so all can read that post!

Seems like things are going a bit more smoothly? Keep the feedaback and ideas coming! BTW, MAKE SURE you all follow the rule regarding not participating until 3 others participate. We may have to add a rule that if you break a rule you LOOSE TWO POINTS! Also, let's try to have an even...

Quote: Hmm... maybe if there is a stall for an hour in any case then someone else can post?

Well, if everyone asked very specific questions with very specific answers, we wouldn't need to wait for the original poster to verify that the question was answered properly. Ok, let's try this: 1) After a question is posted someone answers 2) The question poster has 1 hour from the time...

Thanks for all the feedback and patience as we work out the best way to run these new contests. I hope this new style of game is fun, even if there are still a few bugs. If there are ideas and suggestions on how to make this game run even better please post your ideas and feedback! Again...

Quote: I think that would help, but we can make it a "suggestion" vs. a "requirement". Keep the ideas and feedback coming! We'd love to turn this into a perpetual way for: 1) Members to have fun 2) Members to get free GFMs 3) Us to promote hidden gems of information throughout the site...

If the original question poster does not reply with who answered first and correctly, then: 1) PM them and remind them! 2) Once 24 hours have gone by, another person can post a new question.

Looks like it is getting confusing because people are asking new questions before knowing if their question was correct or not. From now on: DO NOT POST A NEW QUESTION UNTIL THE ORIGINAL QUESTION POSTER TELLS YOU THAT YOUR ANSWER WAS CORRECT!

Nope, doesn't have to be a link! Great job everybody! The only thing we may want to institute is that the question poster must verify the answer is correct before the next person can post... what do you think? Or should we just keep it going as it is? (I'm anxiously awaiting some really...

Cool, now post the next question!

I'll post the next question since there is some confusion: Question: In the Learning Center, link to the predator or pest that responds to treatment with a type of viscous liquid.

Make sure the questions have a specific and single answer! Bad Example: "Link to a thread about someone's chicken hatching eggs" Good Example: "Find the thread with detailed instructions on how to run a successful chicken group meeting"...

It's fun to come up with new ideas for contests and test them out. As long as people are forgiving and helpful with improvements as we work out the kinks, we'll keep coming up with new contests and games!

Y'all are doing great! Looks like you'll need to come up with trickier questions!
