Blog Contest

So I signed up to be part of a blog contest, the contest starts today (I think). Anyhow, it seems like a really lame way of judging a blog contest. Here's how it works. If I submit a post I get a point. If I post two days in a row, I get incrementally more points. If people post comments on those posts I get points (except for spam comments). But it's so lame. All I would have to do is post a word like "Post" and it would have to count as a post. Then I would do that every day for a month, never actually write anything and get a ton of points. This was my initial plan, but instead I think I will write a post talking about how stupid the contest is or how stupid other people's posts are for a month.

  1. Ben, that contest is like...retarded. I can't believe you would actually join something like that, but since you did...here's a point!!!

  2. thanks kim, I don't think I get points for posting comments myself, but maybe if I post comments anonymously it will work... who knows. Just in case, I don't want a point for this post

  3. by the way, just because these comments are all within a minute of each other doesn't mean I posted them all myself, I didn't. Ask Kim yourself!

  25. nathan, I didn't think anyone could coordinate such a conversation on a blog, but you pulled it off so well. Thanks for asking Hackenbush to join you, I'm sorry it ended the way it did.

  28. Nathan *and others* I read on the MOADite contest site that multiple comments by the same person on the same post still only count as 1 point* you might want to stop wasting your time. -PS- Good blog Ben.
