Premium Subscriber Giveaway Weekend!

[Pyromania]

Thanxs to a great idea and large donation from Premium Subscriber Franko we are giving away several Premium Subscriptions this weekend. Franko wanted to support Amiga.org and help other members. He came up with a great idea to buy Premium Subscriptions and then give them away in a random drawing. Franko already purchased 15 one year Amiga.org Premium Subscriptions. DiscreetFX will match his 15 and give away 30 subscriptions total this weekend. We could just randomly choose from the 7,000+ current free membership pool but we want them to go to active community members that really want a one year membership.

If you want to win a free one year Premium Subscription please request via the link below. Please don't forget to included your Amiga.org member userid in the e-mail to us.

http://www.discreetfx.com/contact.html

You have until 11:59 PM on October 17th, 2010 to do this. Please put Amiga.org Free Premium Subscriber Offer in the subject and body of your message. Also mention if you would like or would not like to be added to the DiscreetFX mailing list. We sometimes send out special offers and sales on Amiga, MorphOS & AROS items but only to those that want it. Being a Premium Subscriber on Amiga.org gives you a larger PM mailbox, no Ads and an Amiga.org forwarding e-mail address. It also helps support a site that has been around since 1994 supporting Amiga, AROS & MorphOS fans.

Amiga.org is well on its way to achieve 10,000 registered members soon. We will do something very special at that time.




Best regards

Amiga.org

Any lucky winners yet... :)

[tone007]

We're ALL winners at Amiga.org!

[Pyromania]

Any lucky winners yet... :)

Winners are randomly chosen at the stroke of midnight on October 18th, 2010. So far we have less then 30 entrees so everyone is a winner. That can change before tomorrow though.

[Franko]

@ tone007
True... even after all these years of being a wee bit of an Amiga fanatic, I can still learn some real good pearls of wisdom from other Amiga users on this site... :)

@ Pyromania
Ah well, at least those less than thirty lucky people should be happy... :)

[SysAdmin]

To make this even more interesting DiscreetFX has converted one of the Premium Subscriptions from a one year to a lifetime subscription. What that means is one lucky winner will have a Premium Subscription for the rest of their life.

I can't see any email address on that page so I called the 1-800 number, is this ok or is it email only and if so what is the email cause I can't see it from my iPod touch.

There is no subject header on the form. Do you mean the "name" entry? I think I entered my real name on that entry. Oops.

The e-mail form is a flash based application, so you can't see it if you're using an iPod, or an Amiga.

[motrucker]

I too was a little thrown off by the screen that came up. I did use my amig.org handle though.
It would be nice to win one, but I never win anything...
At least Amiga.org will be supported for a while - so in that sense, we all really do win.

[Omega Space Protons]

Done, best of luck to everyone who participated.

Cheers Franko!

[tone007]

Cheers Franko!

Yeah, Franko, would you rather have a lifetime subscription for yourself, or 30 people saying "I've got this free year's subscription because Franko is a serious badass!"*




*of course taking into account DiscreetFX added on to the prizes, but not before the whole contest was prompted by Franko.

[Pyromania]

We have started to give out Premium Subscriptions. Good luck everyone!

:)

[Tension]

Fingers crossed...

[Franko]

Fingers crossed...

Looks like crossing your fingers worked... ;)

(time for the lucky winners to start changing you title's now to something that reflects your personality... :) )

[motrucker]

Looks like I can't say I've never won anything, anymore. Many thanks to you, Franko, and to DiscreetFX. This was a really great idea to help support amiga.org.

[koaftder]

I didn't even know this was going on, should visit the site more often. Congrats to all the winners!

Same here... Thanks Franko, and DiscreetFX. =]

[JGB]

Yep, out of synch with my viewing schedule, too. Great idea, though! Congrats to the winners and thanks to Franko and DiscreetFX.

[Tension]

Great Scott!! Thanks folks!!!

[Sandman]

Is there a list of those that won?

I entered right after the offer was posted but couldn't remember yesterday if I listed my amiga.org I.D. in the first email so I re-emailed again. I guess that I should learn to read instructions better, hopefully I did'nt miss the boat :)

I truly almost fell out of my chair! This rarely happens, but I am (almost) speechless. I can't believe this one. Some how thank you seems so totally inadequate - It will have to do until this sinks in...

[tone007]

Alright, motrucker!

[J-Golden]

Alright, motrucker!

A really big +1!!!!!

[Omega Space Protons]

Congrates to everyone and motrucker for winning the lifetime subscription. I almost did a double take when I saw my title. I'm so excited and can't wait to setup my amiga.org email address.

Congrats to all the winners!

Sure!! Congrats to all winners!!! And with Amiga...you ALWAYS win!!!! ;)

[AmigaEd]

Whoooo!!!! Hooooo!!! I won one of the subscriptions! YEAH Baby!

I was wondering how I would know if I won a subscription or not, when all of a sudden I noticed my name was highlighted.

I can feel my newly acquired super powers surging through my very being!

Thank you very much to Franko and DiscreetFX!

Regards,
AmigaEd

[desantii]

I just noticed my name higlighted too! Awesome

Thanks Franko and Amiga.org administrators for this opportunity and for hosting such a great place for Amiga users of all types and flavors to congregate.

Amiga.org RULES!

25. T-Bone

Wow, I haven't seen him in ages :)

Awesome contest. Congrats to the winners!

So that's why my username turned orange!

[ChaosLord]

I thought you ate too many carrots :D

[Franko]

Congratulations to all the winners... :)

Special congrats to motrucker for winning the lifetime membership... :)

For all of you who didn't win, then sorry, but keep your eye's peeled as I may sometime in the near future with the agreement of course of Amiga.org arrange another subscription give away... :biglaugh:

Keep the Amiga & Amiga.org Alive... :)

[redrumloa]

We will have a winners list soon. The Amiga.org lifetime membership winner was motrucker.

Hard to have happened to a nicer guy! Congrats mototrucker!

[amiga92570]

Glad I asked for the list, I did not know I was on it. Thanks

[Pyromania]

Looks like we gave out an extra one by mistake. Congrats Trev, don't worry you get to keep your one year Premium Subscription. It was our boo boo.

:)

[Sandman]

Thanks very much!!! :)

[Pyromania]

On a related Amiga.org note, we are looking for a kind soul, maybe one of the winners to create a nice Wikipedia entry for Amiga.org. Since A.org predates many sites including Wikipedia it would be nice if it had a entry.

[Franko]

I'd like to volunteer for it, I think you may have noticed by now that I've got plenty of time on my hands (since the wife, kids, dogs, cat & pet tortoise left, a long, long time ago :) )

Only trouble is I'm not quite sure how to go about it. If someone else who knows a lot more about the net wants to have a go then thats great, but if you could give me an idea of how to start it then I don't mind having a wee go at it... :)

[motrucker]

Hard to have happened to a nicer guy! Congrats mototrucker!

Thank's for the thought. I still can't believe it... I owe a very large thank you to Franko too, for starting this whole idea.

[Piru]

I didn't participate and I have the "Premium Member" status now. Did I miss something?

[tone007]

A secret admirer probably entered you anonymously.

[Franko]

@ Piru

It's probably an award for long standing service to the Amiga community... :)

@ amiga92570

Hmm, yet another long standing award... :)

Seems like the old boys network was on hand here... ;)

(or Pyromania was a wee bit tipsy when he made the draw... :roflmao:)

:banana:What's it matter anyway, at Amiga.org everyone's a winner...:banana:

[AmigaEd]

This just occurred to me...

Since I'm a winner (in more ways than one) does this mean that I have access to an @amiga.org email address? If so, what do I have to do to set this up?

[Pyromania]

Yup, several members requested other members win.

Well, I bought my sub. after the contest ended, but I'd also like to know about setting up the @amiga.org address.... Is the name just our A.org ID ?

[Kronos]

Yup, several members requested other members win.

Weird......

I'm not on that list, and I can't remember every applying for it in any other way .....

Does this mean I can now replace that tiltle with "resident blue troll" ? And if so how ?

On the left column there is an entry near the bottom called "User CP". Click on that link and you'll see an option close to the top for your custom title.

[Kronos]

Actually it was in "Edit your details".

[Omega Space Protons]

I also would like to know about setting up my @amiga.org fowarding address as i have plans to use it for my own amiga project that i am working on.

I know someone won a life time subscription, but can a person BUY one?:python:

[Pyromania]

Sure if you really want one they are $195.

[J-Golden]

I just might. It'll take a month or two to save up for it, buuuuuuut I think it would be worth it. PLUS I'll get the snazzy E-mail account / forwarding setup. THAT ROCKS!!!!!

[runequester]

Hot damn. I won I guess :)

And I'll second.. how do we set up the email forward thing ?


edit: I wasn't on the list of winners. Was mine a mistake ?
