    The PreciselyParrots.com WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest (ENDED)

    Happy 2014 Everyone!

    Welcome to our WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest subforum . This is the place where those of you who wish to participate in our contest will activate your entries and hopefully, later, report your winning 1000th post to claim your $500 prize!

    At 1 minute after midnight on January 16 (1/16/14 at 0:01 UTC), we will open the contest for posts to count toward the 1000 Posts goal. It is a certain fact that one lucky member of our forum community WILL win the $500 grand prize! That winning member could easily be you!

    As with regular non-contest posting activity at Precisely Parrots, we ask that members submit their posts under the forum categories which are most relevant to the topics being discussed. Participating members may also use the 'Off Topic' forum category for subjects which don't clearly fit under any of the existing organized forum categories.

    If at any time you have questions or concerns relating to this contest, you may pose those questions or concerns to either Wendy (Honesty) or myself (plax), or to one of our fine moderator staff folks. We want this to be an enjoyable and carefree experience for all, and we are here to help


    The official WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest rules are as follows:

    WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Official Contest Rules:

    - Each contest participant must be a registered member at PreciselyParrots.com

    - Staff members of PreciselyParrots.com are NOT eligible to participate in the contest.

    - If the winning post is submitted by a member who is below the age of consent for his or her respective jurisdiction, the grand prize shall NOT be awarded to said member unless and until consent has been obtained from his or her parent or legal guardian. In the event that such consent cannot be obtained, the grand prize shall be awarded to the qualifying member who submitted his or her 1000th post next soonest in chronological sequence.

    - Upon the official contest launch date, or at some point thereafter, each participant must type his/her beginning post count number on the subject line AND within the message body of a new thread creation box, and then post the new thread to the WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest forum category. This post count number must be a value of one point above the post count value shown on the member's most recent previous post. For example, if a member's previous post count number falls at "123", the member would type "124" onto the subject line of a new thread creation box, as well as into the message content area of that thread creation box, and then submit the message as a new thread under the WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest forum category. Performing said action will both qualify the member and enter (activate) him/her as a participant in the contest.

    - Any member who has been detected to have submitted a false post count number shall be disqualified from participation in the contest.

    - Each participating member is to keep track of his/her respective post count status at all times. A member's 1000th post (from his/her starting post count number) shall be submitted as a new thread under the WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest forum category. The number "1000" shall be typed on the subject line, followed by a hyphen "-", followed by the member's new total post count number (which is to include the new thread being submitted). The same "1000 - [new count number]" line shall be typed into the message body of the new thread. For example, if the member's previous post (i.e., the 999th post from his/her qualifying initial post) shows a total post count number of "1234", then he/she would type "1000 - 1235" on the subject line, as well as into the message body. No other characters should appear at either location. The thread creation timestamps in conjunction with the post counter values shall determine the validity of each member's 1000th post and whether or not a member has won the contest. If more than one participating member reach the 1000th post point at the same timestamp minute on the same day, a winner of the contest shall be determined by the shortest span between beginning and ending timestamps.

    - Each thread reply must be relevant to the thread within which it is posted. When a submitted message is a thread starter post, the content of the message must be relevant to the forum category under which it is posted. Short and/or irrelevant replies within threads, or vague and irrelevant thread starter posts, may be interpreted as attempts to unfairly boost post counts. If such conduct is observed it may result in disqualification from the contest.

    - Once the site administrators determine and verify the winning 1000th post among the posts submitted by contest participants, the contest will end and a public announcement will be issued as a new thread under the WIN $500 for 1000 Posts Contest forum category to identify the winner and declare closure of the event. The winner will as well receive private notification from site administrators (via email or Private Message) with particulars detailing how to claim his or her $500 grand prize.

    Thanks for your interest in our wonderful new contest. We hope you'll decide to participate. If you do participate, we hope you will have plenty of fun posting and visiting with folks, and certainly discussing your birds with other members here at Precisely Parrots. Remember, we are here if you need us
