Hi guys I'm new here. I'd like to talk to the mods and owners of this board about doing a contest.
I would like to do something a little different. I'd like to get some of you to sign up and use the world community grid program. It's a program that lets your computer do disease research. It doesn't use too much of your systems resources so you won't even know it's running unless you are doing some serious gaming. It's a great project that might lead to cures for many diseases, in fact a new drug they found just might be a cure for one of the worst forms of childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. Those that complete the most amount of work would get the top prizes. I'm thinking of offering 5 different prizes, some worth over $25. Right now I have a lot of football packs. I have sealed boxes of topps 2012 chrome and bowman 2012. I might even throw in a sealed mini box of topps museum collection as the top prize.
As a second part of the contest I would offer some packs you can get just by commenting on certain days in the contest thread I make. I will probably give you one entry per comment you make on specific days. I would use a randomizer to pick about 5 winners of single packs this way.
I don't want to post any links to world community grid or explain further until I get a chance to discuss it with those in charge here.
Also, can anyone tell me how long you have to edit a post here? I know some forums allow editing of a post for an unlimited amount of time.
