 $15,000 in prizes
about two years ago i joined this forum, i think it was called webtalksomething or something like that, forgot name -- but their opening contest was that they gave out prizes totaling upto $15,000 -- first place winner got $1000 via paypal and an X-Box
that forum gained popularity, i remember it had almost 1000 members in a month or so and like 50k posts. They sold major advertising space and made money, people assumed thats where they got their money, A day before contest finished, guess what, the site said "page cannot be displayed", I doubt it was just me because i tried it from many other computers, Didnt know anyone on the forum outside of it so no way of knowing.
Just to share some exp with you guys about this. |
