-You can only win once every six months.

[Crazyglues]

Who won the October FORUM LOTTERY ???

[-Alpha]

Going to do the review, contributing is pretty competitive, but perhaps I'll start doing that too though I don't want to end up scraping up random hit sites :/

Can we win more than once a day/year/month?

"You can only win once every six months."
Last line "The finer details".

Whoops, thanks :)

[Cat]

I edited to try and make it more clear - the 6 months rule is for the Forum lottery, but the other contests (Contributor, Blog/User Review does not have that stipulation. You can enter to win consecutive months, regardless of past wins).

Hope that helps!

[LordMarius]

Ah cool, Kinect here I come.
"the ten most active members of the month wins!"
Does that mean 11 people will win? or the ten most active members vote for the best user review?

[Cat]

They vote - "The top user review as voted by staff and the ten most active members of the month wins!"

[Raendom]

Have you picked the winners for other October contests like the forum lottery or the blog/user review?

Or is it just the contributors who are picked so far?

[blur99]

"NOTE: Winners of the October Blog Post and Forum Lottery will be announced later this week."
The last line.

[MelonieMac]

[PS3Freak]

[Aither]

I'm liking these contests/prizes.

[coolbeans]

Must the reviews be November '10 releases in order to count towards the contest or is it any approved review?

[Cat]

All User Reviews approved during the month of November 2010 are eligible!

[coolbeans]
