runescapedude1126 is tonight’s final winner! Thanks to everyone who participated!

midnight – runescapedude1126 – 3-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION

Alright, the contest is now underway, and, as always, the rules of entry are simple: Make a post in the official Leap Day FFR contest thread explaining how you’ll be celebrating today. Be honest and say absolutely nothing or make it up and say you’re going to have a pillow fight with Donkey Kong in the Valley of Doom – just be sure to post something in regard to what you’ll be doing today and your entry will be accepted.

The contest starts now, but today, to mark such a monumental event, the winners will be selected a little differently. Beginning at 5 p.m. EST (roughly 1 1/2 hours from now), the first winner will be chosen and a new winner will be chosen every hour up until midnight EST. So get cracking! The sooner you get in, the less people you’ll have to fight off every hour! There are eight chances to win – 50,000 credits will be awarded to six lucky members, but at random through the day, two of the selections will instead be awarded a free three-month subscription! Good luck!

Middle of the Night Super Spontaneous Contest #63-4.5

Posted in Spontaneous Contests on February 22nd, 200879 Comments »

Working late nights does strange things to strange people. It also brings out the total idiot in JasonKey and myself. So at 11:30pm we decided to toilet paper someone’s car. This “Someone” is a fellow member of FFR that you all know very well.

The first person to message the owner of the car below will win 2 t-shirts of your choice.

Good luck!

*We have a winner! Travman301 guessed it like a pro. Congrats!

Cheers,

Th3 Groundhog

Registration and prize drawings have been held and among 64 likely candidates our lovable St. Presidents’ Groundhog Day groundhog could bump its tail and fall in love with, we have clear favorites in the running and 11 FFR users thousands of credits richer.

40,000 FFR credit third-tier winners:

But, wait, I didn’t announce this before, there is one last chance for you to be a winner if you are the luckiest of the luckiest, so keep reading … let’s take a look at the polls! Who will the groundhog be getting all lovey-dovey with?

The Top 5 Sexy Presidents
Abraham Lincoln – (11.95%)
George Bush – (10.76%)
Bill Clinton – (6.37%)
Theodore Roosevelt – (5.58%)
George Washington – (5.18%)

The groundhog will clearly be eyeing our beloved 16th U.S. president and in democratic fashion, Lincoln is the winner via the most votes. We chose one user who voted for Abraham Lincoln at random, and Alias_Casper will be the recipient of a free three-month FFR subscription!

The FFR Happy-Meal Bonanza Contest

Posted in Spontaneous Contests on January 24th, 2008106 Comments »

The contest is over and all of the entries have been reviewed! Unfortunately, I removed all entries that depict violence toward nestlekwik and all users who yearned for Tass to ride nestlekwik were disqualified, so nobody won today’s contest … Just kidding.

The powers that be have chosen Sir_Thomas’s contest entry as the winner of the contest. We’ll be contacting you to receive your information for the prize. Every one did a great job and it’s great to know so many people are eager to embarass me. We’ve re-opened the thread in the case people wish to post more on their own time (and so they can check out Xelius’s Ahn0ld entry).

Thanks for staying up with FFR and keep checking back for more news and contests!

Super Duper Credit Deluxe Giveaway Special #1

Posted in Spontaneous Contests on January 23rd, 2008524 Comments »

I told you guys I would be back to bother you again tonight with an unexpected event right? Yeah, that’s right. And tonight everyone is a winner. No joke, everyone will walk away a winner. To participate in this giveaway is a breeze. The catch is that it will only last 15 minutes.

Giveaway starts NAAOOOWW!

During the next 15 minutes, for each legitimate comment you leave on another user’s wall in their profile, you will earn 1 credit. Leave 200 comments and you will have 200 extra FFR credits. I told you everyone would win! :)

Have fun!

*Comments are being sent left and right. This is insane.*

*Woa! Ok, time is up! You guys damn near brought the server to a half with your super ‘post’ button pressing abilities*

Tomorrow night we will run something even more odd. This time for cold hard electronic paypal cash. See you then. What time? 8pm Central b*tches.

Cheers,

I know what all you peeps are thinking. You are thinking that I am some kind of bot, some kind of script that is controlled by the armpit stank of Mr. Tass.

This is not true…. And… to prove it, I am going to go all Spontaneous Giveaway tomorrow night at 8pm Central (6pm Pacific and 9pm Eastern). You will love it, you will cherish it and you will get fat sitting at your computer waiting to receive the goods.

See you tomorrow night, llamas.

Cheers,
Synthlight + his minions

(oh yeah, Happy MLK. Long live BDP)

Word Games and some updates. Gimmie a Stickie!

Likely most of you have noticed in the profiles the Word Scramble. Additionally, you have likely seen that the behavior of the block for them has changed. We have another 2 word games coming online hopefully this week, after going through testing with the staff and FFR Subscribers of course ;)

Also, we have a new FAQ in testing with more info going into the FAQ than ever before. That old FAQ (current) has needed an update like forever ago. Nestlekwik is working his fingers off in the new one as well.

Finally, regarding the profile entertainment, I will send out 1 – 5.5×5.5 FFR Guy Sticker for the first 10 (ten) users that post a Random Thought in their profile that makes me giggle, and has a title of “FFR Stickers Make My Bumper Look Better“. Make sure its exactly that text or I won’t find it either!

I will comment and post the winners here. Winners to be announced at 11:30pm EST, so that gives you over an hour.

Anything good is accepted, just don’t spam it up senselessly .. and if I find a really good one, might send out a shirt to that user too. Profile styles that make my time even more interesting will always help too ;)

Will post again as this goes forward.

Creative Genius Is In

A ton of interesting responses out there. Some even scary. However, the ones that gave me the biggest .. or oddest chuckle are as follows:

MystictheHedgehog (Simplicity made me laugh)
WolfXhunter (MWC Makes me laugh)
Cyanite (The single most bizarre McD Evah!)
bluguerrilla (For interesting honesty)
zajac (Mr Coke for the win)
Nyokou (Who doesn’t love halloween)
Jinxed_Phantom(I love dew)
Brian Inc (For the poet award)
MrMagic5239 (For his start of a self help group)
Drugstore Cowboy (For Video Skillz .. yessir! Made me laugh!)

Finally .. I find the image that is destined for avatars all across the internets!

EnR (Oh yes .. Tass Thong for the win!) Sticker and Shirt!

PM me names and addresses where I can mail these out and I will nag you later to get photos of where you put these stickers up ;) We want to see the love!

Stickies are not just for the FFR Forum

The holidays were a little (LOT) over the top and a lot insane for the FFR Staff. With that in mind, and since we are mostly settling back in, I thought it would be a good time to have some fun. Hope you all know how to work on and configure your profiles :D

Watch for another post tonight regarding some updates. Consider this your early hint of things to come.
