One mighty notebook.
Good luck to everyone!

Wow, the HP Pavilion HDX sure has a lot of great specs! It is big and weighs around 20 lbs also! There is a reason it’s called a “Notebook PC” instead of just plain Notebook. If I win I intend to use it as a portable PC, not as a notebook that I carry around! There’s definitely going to be a lot of competition here. Gearlive is a big website! Good luck everyone. Don’t forget there are other websites holding this contest too! Check them at http://www.31daysofthedragon.com . 😊

Dear Internet Gods, I really need to win this. That is all.
posted by: uglyfido · 5/31/08
This site looks amazing! Everything news-related laid out and easy to find.
A friend that I made from a previous contest won the dragon a few days ago, so I’m hoping I can catch up with him :D
Hope the new members have as much as a chance as the active ones, I’ve never heard of this site before!

Just so you guys know, everyone has an equal chance of winning. Long-time members have no advantage, as we are only tracking points for the contest starting from this week.
By the way, we’ve already gotten about 3 spammers who are just posting one-sentence comments all over the place. Those will be deleted.

I’ve been entering at most of the other sites with no luck as of yet. I’ll cross my fingers and toes for this one.

Yes, details on how many points you will earn for doing different things will be posted later. In the meantime though, create a profile, and add an image and avatar for a nice boost to your point count 😉
posted by: Andru Edwards · 5/31/08
When you post in the forum you get one point I guess. Don’t know how much you get for a comment on the site. Made already 2 comments above but I wasn’t logged in yet…
A few minutes ago I could see my points, now the score is disappeared?!
posted by: Larrabee · 5/31/08
my points amount changed!!!! what happened??? i had twice the amount it shows i have now, and i have made several posts since then. is something going on?
posted by: Purjewl · 5/31/08
The system isn’t stable yet I guess. Sometimes they disappear and appear again. But don’t worry Andru will fix this soon.
It’s still the first day…
Is is possible to have the previous posts I made, to get it under my account. (First Larrabee posts) I wasn’t logged in yet.
Thanks
posted by: Larrabee · 5/31/08
Thanks Andru for your quick reply :D
Anyways, it’s back up so far. There’s probably going to be bugs seeing how it’s a newly added part of the system, and everyone’s signing up so the poor thing can’t handle it XD
And I don’t think it’s possible to get your guest posts, sorry Larrabee. Btw nice to see you again 😛 Hope you’re still alive on notebooks.com
posted by: SkyFuser · 5/31/08
I will active on notebooks.com after my examens. That would be around 23 June, I hope to see you there 😉
Seems like you also participate every contest. That’s good. But we don’t have to talk about this, back to the topic now! 😊
posted by: Larrabee · 5/31/08
@DOOOMKULTUS - spam is judged on the basis of content, and that is at Gear Live’s discretion. If you post three one-liners in the course of a minute, unless you are a speed reader, you are commenting on posts you didn’t even read fully. That’s spam.
In our video, we said we want well thought out comments that contribute to the site.
posted by: Andru Edwards · 5/31/08
What he means is that a sentence like “That’s realy cool what you have there” is not a quality post.
Anyway how much points do you get for a post or comment? How much points do you guys already have? 😊
posted by: Larrabee · 5/31/08
@Larrabee - a post with those details is forthcoming. I am just in the middle of moving this weekend, so I havent gotten to sit down and write it, but do trust that all points are accruing.
posted by: Andru Edwards · 5/31/08
I know this is off topic but ,OK Have to know where are you movin to?
And I hope that all your friends at Gear Live and the Bleeding Edge gave you a helping hand.

I’m still waiting for the official rules.

@rajiv sharma:
Everyone want to win the dragon and I also entered almost every contest. I also need this computer to finish school (maths) and create maps (I’m a level designer).
There are already people above the 100 posts in one day? Can’t you give point for the amount of characters. Many people are spamming. “Without” knowing.
posted by: Larrabee · 6/1/08
larrabee,
I agree a number of people are spamming without knowing, I really like this site, I generally read all the post/articles but don’t usually make any comments, But because of this contest I am leaving a few posts. I really hope that they post the rules soon, I think that that will stop some of the spamming. Good luck on the contest.
posted by: kat · 6/1/08
You ask do i want to Win this Stuff, HELL YES, i’m looking at it and boy do I want this Dragon HDX real badly
posted by: 34skyline · 6/1/08
I just was able to read this and noticed it said old members have no advantage. This should have been made more evident in the rules rather than a blog post. By no means am i not posting anymore I just thought it would have been nice to know.
Would also have been nice if the veterans had some given advantage because of the top 50 posters on the website I do believe I am the only active one left. Except for you of course being the admin.
I have been active on the site reading news articles and checking out all the stuff constantly but just not posting on the forums and responding and forwarding the site to friends who are interested in how I find out about all these new gadgets and such.
And this contest is to find someone who contributes to the Gearlive. If that were the case it should have been put into a more recognizable fashion for those who have been long time Gearlive Supporters but dont have hours of time to be posting in the forum. I personally work 48 hour weeks as well as many people on this forum. Would have been nice if the contest was created in a fashion where activity is recognized through actual contributions and not a post count or how many threads you can create.
Thanks,
Gohan_Bcc1
