Contest: Enter to Win one of five $100 Amazon Gift Cards

Hello everyone.

I was going to do a "Treasure Hunt" contest this month, but I've instead decided to do something a little different because of the recent discussions on N4G that arose for the recent PewDiePie item as well as it's just a good time to do it since the new site is in full use and people have had more time to think about it and what they do or don't like.

So, here's the other half of the contest for July:

.

THE SURVEY CONTEST

This is a pretty simple contest. You must PM me, Christopher, via http://n4g.com/user/home/ch... , the responses to each of the True/False questions below. This contest is open to all users who are not employees of HAVAMedia and have an account that was open before January 1, 2016. You must provide a valid True or False answer to each question. Closing date on this contest is 11:59 pm EDT, July 31, 2016.

From the pool of acceptable responses, 5 random winners will be selected. Each winner will get a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

.

THE QUESTIONS

1. I browse N4G using a mobile device most of the time, True or False?
2. I like the new site layout/design more than the old one, True or False?
3. I come to N4G because I think it's a good place to get video game news, True or False?
4. I come to N4G to discuss video game news and interests with other N4G users, True or False?
5. If I have a problem, I know how to contact the moderators about it, True or False?
6. I would like the ability to filter out content on the front page of N4G by type of content (opinion pieces, rumors, etc.), True or False?
7. I would like the ability to filter out content on the front page of N4G from a specific source (IGN, Kotaku, etc.), True or False?
8. I think N4G should temporarily or permanently ban sites for misleading titles/content, True or False?
9. I think N4G should temporarily or permanently ban sites for clickbait titles, True or False?
10. I think N4G should allow submissions about all forms of GamerGate, both pro and anti, and similar Social Issues, True or False?
11. I think N4G should allow cursing in the comments section, True or False?
12. I think N4G should allow namecalling/personal attacks in the comments section, True or False?
13. I think N4G should allow trolling in the comments section, True or False?
14. I think N4G should restrict users less often and just focus on hiding most comments that break the Terms of Use, True or False?
15. I think answering these questions is pointless since I don't think N4G will change, True or False?

.

You seriously want more PM's!?

Christopher3607d ago

It was the best way to do it. :(

gangsta_red3607d ago

Create a separate account and have people send it there or better yet...give this job to Coolbeans, the lazy bum!

Christopher3607d ago

Oh, managing the PMs isn't an issue. I have some JavaScript help in that regard. Just the volume will increase immensely.

DragonKnight3607d ago

Should have just created a poll and have users comment that they participated as contest entries.

Christopher3607d ago

@DK: No, need to verify personally that people did it themselves.

I appreciate the concern, but for what I need, this is the best option. And it's not 'hard' on me, just more PMs.

I thought we'd just send them to HAVAMedia themselves

Christopher3607d ago

HAVA didn't create this. I did. So, they would probably be a bit confused.

Deadpooled3607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

Sent, although I made my account in March/April I've been using N4G and reading the comments on here for years.

Overload3607d ago

This is a fantastic idea. Best of luck to everyone!

oasdada3607d ago

I think pm is the best idea.. and I do think n4g can change for the better.. but 1 question is missing, from where do I see my notifications?

Overload3607d ago

Click or touch your avatar in the top right corner.

oasdada3607d ago

Yea I know that.. but how to see your old notifications? Thanx

Overload3607d ago

Repeat the sets above, go to the gear icon which is settings, you will find notifications in there.

oasdada3607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

Thanx alot overload! p.s im not dumb im just lazy :P

Overload3607d ago

No problem. It took me a while to find it too, it's kind of hidden.

Fullmetalevolust3607d ago

I, too, have a hard time finding the notifications once the blinking icon is gone. Can't see them again and I'm not sure where to go.

Overload3607d ago

I just answered above. Hope that helps.

Fullmetalevolust3607d ago

That's a fun contest and some very pertinent questions about behaviors seen around N4G.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio37d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing37d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9237d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit37d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing37d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9237d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
