May 2011 Trip Report Contest - Win $50, a Bogley shirt and sticker

[accadacca]

Giddy Up!!!! :popcorn:

The goal this month is to achieve the most comments on your Trip Report on bogley.com. Only users with a post count of 5 or more will be counted. No cheating by registering as dummy users and commenting on your own report! :nono: You may have your family and friends register and then comment on your report, but they must post in 5 other places first. The object is to increase users and participation. So getting family and friends on Bogley is strongly encouraged. :2thumbs:

The contest ends on May 31st at 11:59 PM MST

**Post a link to your Trip Report in this thread to be entered in the contest.**


Here's a quick YouTube video explaining the details:

Our definition of a Trip Report is the same as last month:


Be started within the current contest month. (does not need to have "happened" this month)
Have the Trip Report prefix.
Contain at least 1 paragraph description - @4 lines.
Contain at least 5 photos and/or a video. Slideshows are included.
The full report must be posted on Bogley and not link out to another site
Any other optional features like an embedded Google Map may build value to your Trip Report and help your ranking. An "Album" in the Dark Room that meets these requirements will also be eligible.


The prize this month will be a $50 Amazon Gift Certificate, along with a Bogley shirt and sticker.

Good luck!

*Last months winner cannot win again in consecutive months.

To enter the contest, just paste your Trip Report link in this thread.

Just to clarify what we're counting, it's the number of MEMBERS that comment here on bogley, not just the total number of replies. So if a member makes 5 different replies in that same thread, they get counted once. You, the author, will count your own original post that starts the thread.

This is to avoid a bunch of double and triple posts made by random members, and so you won't reply to your own thread 1,000 times to win. :lol8:

Feel free to invite friends and family to join up on bogley and comment on your Trip Report to help boost your numbers. Facebook is usually a good way to get the word out, just "Like" your Trip Report and put a comment in there inviting people to join up and comment.

Good luck. :cool2:

Each member is only counted once as they reply to each TR. Please feel free to double check my quick count....

Good work everybody.

[mattandersao]

My two TR's, both with ten, together count as 20 right?:crazy::naughty::ne_nau:

I'll take a look at the time stamps today, I'm currently editing video of my son's first mountain bike ride. :mrgreen:

Feel free to help out by posting the number of users that replied to your trip report including yourself. :afro: Thanks.

OK, sorry it's taken a couple of days to get to this, but no worries, the time stamps are there.

Actually we were counting the number of members who replied to each Trip Report, not the total number of replies. This would be to exclude anybody from posting multiple times just to boost up their stats.

The winner of the May Trip Report contest is @neilether (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=781) with his Fruita Trip Report, with a total of 14 members posting in his thread.

Congrats! We'll get that Amazon gift card sent to you along with the bogley gear. I'll be contacting you. :afro:

The June Trip Report contest will be pretty simple, the member with the most Trip Reports posted within the whole month wins. We'll get the official contest thread started soon with the specifics. There will be questions like being on 1 trip, but hitting Goblin Valley, Little Wild Horse Canyon, and maybe Wild Horse Window all in the same weekend, can you do each of those in their own thread counting 1 Trip Report for each one... we'll lay that out.

Thanks everybody.

How about total number of Bogley members commenting on all of the trip reports posted in June and listed in the contest? That way you get lots of TR's and lots of comments, but making lots of TR's or one TR for a near-epic trip doesn't really matter but is ultimately left up to the person who's posting? :popcorn:

mattandersao, this just goes to show that mountain biking is better than backpacking, and photography! :lol8:
