Congrats Ponyboy, winner of $1000 from GayWebmasters.com

Please join me in congratulating Ponyboy of WorldTwink.com, winner of this months $1000 giveaway from GayWebmasters.com. I'm very happy to see him win, since he can really use the money. For those of you who don't know, his lover is stuck in Malaysia and the US Embassy will not give him a new visa. They had to hire several lawyers, and needless to say money is tight. I hope the $1000 helps a lot!

Today's giveaway was the fourth of five $1000 giveaways being held by GayWebmasters.com. To qualify for the final giveaway, you simply need to register for your free account, and post at least one forum post, directory listing, or blog entry before midnight, May 31st. The final chances of winning today's drawing was 1 in 122, once again making this once of the best contests around! The official contest thread is located here:

I have a question?

Why is another owner of a competing forum (similiar name as well) coming over to this forum to tell us who won over on his forum?

Maybe that is what forums do, but I have never seen GWW or any other forum going over to another forum and broadcasting to their members who won on another forum, this seems as if it would be stealing traffic, not very classy and a lil shady.

I actually don't think it would be allowed and the post would of been deleted and considered spam.

Accept my apologies if I am missing something. Just seems a little weird to me as being a owner of a business myself.

Oh and congratulations to Ponyboy that won!

Oh definitely. I am friends with owners of other cam sites, but I don't think they would want me advertising my site in their chat rooms to their members. I also wouldn't take advantage of their friendship by doing that, it is a business. :)

Also if they are friends, it appears as if he has only posted 22 posts on GWW since he joined Dec 2005, which is about when he started his other forum, only posts I have ever seen him post on here are about his forum. :juggle:

No big deal, I just found it interesting and was curious how friendly competition worked in the forum world.

Jacob,

http://www.gaywebmasters.com is actually a current sponsor of the GWW Community hence why Shauns post got stickied and left up :)

If you havent already done so, head on across to http://www.gaywebmasters.com and create an account there, who knows, you might end up winning $1000 by doing so :thumbsup:

Regards,

Lee

Now it makes a litle more sense. I was curious to how that was all working out. I didn't know he was a sponsor. Like I posted in my original post "Accept my apologies if I am missing something."

It just seemed interesting to me.

That is like going into Dillards and Macy's having their Summer Sale signs inside of Dillard's. I have never observed a company to do this, which is why it was so interesting to me. That is great you all can share with each other and yet be competing in the same exact business.

Again I send my apologies, for missing something. Just my business mind was trying to figure out how forums compete differently from how other companies compete amongst each other.

My apologies to Dick Hunter and his site www.gaywebmasters.com, which I am a member of myself.

Lee I am glad you clarified this because I think others may of had the same thoughts I had, now the air is cleared for all.
