Hi,
Does this site give away any prizes?
PS: Hi, I’m new here.

I don’t know, I thought they might give out prizes.
(my post was supposed to be in the “Welcome Wagon”). (not that it was relevant there).

Oh, yes, lots of prizes, and they are real easy to win, too. All you have to do is become a worthwile contributor, demonstrate judgement and even temper over time, use correct grammer and spelling, and in 10-12 months they might make you a Mod, which means you win lots of headaches for no pay! And a coffee mug. Quite a deal, isn’t it?

Humm. Well, I’ve certainly never received a prize.

Yeah, they give lots of prizes around here. For example, if you piss the mods off enough, they give you the treasured “BANNED” prize. 😃
Seriously though, no prizes that I know if. Wait a minute. You people would tell me if there were prizes involved, right? **right???**
Feh…

If it was supposed to be in the Welcome Wagon, you can follow the link in my sig to get there. However, there are a bit of rules to be followed. You need to tell me a bit about yourself. Do not mention condiments (sounds silly, but I’m serious here). If I don’t have anything to work with in a Welcome Wagon post, the post will most likely not get acknowledged in a good way (well, as good as I get in the Welcome Wagon anyway).

They don’t give out any prizes to my knowledge, but they should. Lots and lots of prizes for all. Man, that’d be sweet.

The only prize you could possibly get around here is the adoration of the teeming millions.
That may or may not include various hot doper wimmens.

Don’t listen to these people, they’re all giving you a hard time because you’re new. I’ll give you a straight answer:
To win a prize, you must check the box that says “Please enter me in your sweepstakes” _before_ you submit your post. It should be in the upper right hand corner of your screen, but this feature is only available on every tenth post.
Remember, you gotta be in it to win it.
