Use this thread to discuss our fourth contest. This is -not- the submission thread, but rather one for you to chat up a storm, comment on the content, or flame me.

Excellent addition to end the contest Rob

Seems like fun, plus a nice shiny prize *_*!

NicePants42 · 04-02-2007, 10:47 AM

How many times can one person enter?

Rob Williams · 04-02-2007, 12:34 PM

Two entries are fine. I'll add that to the rules. Each one should be in a separate post for easier tracking though.

Another great contest and prize, thanks a lot

Does Windows count as a tech product? We could be a potential winner! (Besides that small group of mac users hiding in the corner.)

GREAT contest and a very nice idea, I must admit!

Let me thing of something as I had few "bad" products over the years. I can surely come up with something to write about...

Anyway, GOOD LUCK everyone!

Enigmachine · 04-03-2007, 03:35 PM

Could it be an ASUS product?

Not that I have any that sucked; I'm still on my old overclocked P4P800...

On the other hand, if ASUS wants to send me newer products, I'll be happy to tell wether they suck or not! (hint! hint!)

I had a lot of fun writing my entries. I'd love to write more rants! Keep bringing on the contests!

Rob Williams · 04-03-2007, 10:22 PM

Great entries so far guys, this is turning out to be a great contest! I can't take credit for the idea... that one was ASUS. Matt and Rory helped refine the rules though, so kudos to them

tomato · 04-04-2007, 01:42 PM

Another fine idea for the contest

I will have to put on my thinking cap for this one :P
