Brad Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Like last year we're going to have thousands of new visitors on the forum because of the Black Friday site, and we want to welcome all of you newcomers, as well as those of you who haven't been back since last Black Friday (where did you go? LOL) New this year on the forum is our GottaPoints system. We launched this in mid-September and it has proved to be very popular. In a nutshell, you earn GottaPoints by doing various things on the forum (posting, referring new members, and other things). You can spend your GottaPoints on prizes, contest entries and more in the GottaPoints Store. For a more complete description of GottaPoints, including exactly what you earn points for, please see this thread. You can see your current total in the GottaPoints Store, in your User Control Panel or on your User Profile page. Through the end of the year, we have 2 big giveaways which will use these GottaPoints. First is the Holiday Gift Card Giveaway in which we will be giving away a $20 gift card every week for 10 weeks. You can win one or more of these gift cards by earning GottaPoints and buying entries into each drawing in the store. Second, we have the "Points for Charity" Giveaway in which you can not only win a great prize, but for each entry you buy, we'll donate ten cents to charity. This contest runs through the end of the year or when all 2,000 entries are redeemed, whichever comes first. Besides spending your GottaPoints, you can also transfer them to your fellow forum members - also via the GottaPoints Store. If someone helps you out or posts something you find especially useful, consider sending them some points as a token of your appreciation. Finally, the admins (RossMAN and myself) can give you bonus GottaPoints for any reason. If we see you being helpful on the forum, we'll give you some points. If you find a really hot deal and post it, we'll give you some points. If you post a link to our site somewhere else (such as in your sig on another forum) and we see it or you tell us about it, we'll give you some points. Hopefully this answers some of your questions about the GottaPoints system, and now that you are a registered member (because you wouldn't see this if you weren't) you can immediately start posting and earning GottaPoints.

Brad Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Also just a note to let you know that we just bumped up the number of GottaPoints you receive for new threads posted here in the BF forum. Hopefully that will be another incentive to get the discussion going while we wait for the ads. So get posting and you could win one of the 10 $20 gift cards we're giving away!
