PTF is having a referral contest with a $20 cash prize, provided by our very own moderator, Danger.  Refer as many people as you can to PTF from March 21 - April 21 and you could win the prize!  See the original thread.

Details from the original thread:

The point is pretty simple. Refer as many members as you can to the site and earn yourself a pretty spectacular prize. What’s the prize you ask? You’ll have to finish reading the rest of this post to find out. DON’T SKIP TO THE BOTTOM, IT RUINS IT.

Rules are as follows:

1 - Under no circumstances will you spam on other forums, or websites for that matter. It’s considered rude, not allowed here (so that would be hypocritical), and frankly, the staff doesn’t want to deal with people complaining about it to us.

2 - Each referral must post at least 10 posts to count. What’s a new member to us if they don’t post?

3 - I will be keeping track of the number of referrals. I will have them written down, so there will be no discrepancy over who got how many referrals.

4 - If someone joins, but doesn’t put you as the person that referred you here, tough luck for you. Make sure you include the your forum name wherever you advertise, so that they know what name to put down when they register.

5 - The contest will run for one month. I’m not too exactly sure on the date of when it will start, so take advantage and come up with ways to find new members. It will be in the near future, I just need some time to collect the necessary data (aka amount of referrals already for each member).

6 - *Sigh* The prize. What you guys have been waiting for. The prize is a nice $20 cash prize. If you make an exceptional effort and have an incredible amount of new members, there might be a BONUS. Who knows? Work for it!

7 - The money will be sent via Paypal or I can mail you the cash via Snail Mail. Either way I’m giving away $20, so if you chose Snail Mail and it gets lost in the mail, I will not be responsible for re-sending cash. Sorry to say, but not everyone out here is trustworthy.

Again, I personally am giving away the $20 for the benefit of getting this site more active and more enjoyable. If I hear about any cheating of any kind (aka all your referrals have locations near you, and they all have the minimum ten posts, I can tell you just had your friends sign up to post 10 times and then they leave). Please do not encourage members to post nonsensical posts just so they have 10 posts. That would honestly just defeat the whole purpose of this contest. I’m giving away money in hopes this will help the community, not hurt it.

PTF forum member Danger was made Moderator in Training today, due mostly to his outstanding moderator application (oh, by the way, did I mention that we have moderator applications now?).  Thank you for your dedication to PTF, Danger!  It is much appreciated.  At that same time, moderator ComputerDude was promoted to Mega Moderator.  Congrats to the both of you!  May you serve PTF well.

Hello everyone. Although it’s still new and pretty empty, I hope you are enjoying PTF’s new blog. We plan on posting important news and announcements, the member oth the month, and other fun things on our new blog. The idea is that the blog will attract new members and breath new life into PTF. Speaking of activity…

Activity really seems to be changing for the better lately here at PTF. We have several new and active members including: BlueEew, bmxer18, mattiailbello, Y-Factor, cosmonaut, indieover, jol, kyakikino, mka12992, thexfactor, and MrGuitarHero. I’m sorry if I missed anyone. Hopefully this great participation will continue. Thank you to all the members who regularly share your knowledge and opinions on PTF. We couldn’t be where we are today without YOU!

The rest of the staff and I are constantly working behind the scenes to provide you with the fastest, friendliest, most feature rich debate and discussion forum on the net. I especially am going to be working extra hard to make sure activity on the forums continues to grow for the benefit of the members. More members=more discussion=more fun! If you know anyone who enjoys forums, I encourage you to tell them about PTF. Word of mouth is the best way to promote forums. Also, if you are unaware, we have a referral system. Tell your friends to enter your username in the referral box at registration, and you will get credit for their sign-up.

If you are new to this site, you are welcome to register here. You may alternatively visit our home page to browse around and see what everyone’s talking about as a guest.

Enjoy!
