Referral Contest!

[Pirotess]

August is community building month at Vanguard Spheres!

Now that we have your attention lets see if you can help us get a few other peoples attention! Thats right Vanguard Spheres is holding a contest to see how many people you can get to register and participate on our forums.

Participation is easy. Just visit our referral statistics page and copy down the personalized referral URL it provides. Then just add it to your signature here on Vanguard Spheres, the Official Vanguard Forums and/or the other message boards you visit regularly and encourage people to stop by, register and most importantly post!

The registered member who encourages the most people to register and participate on our forums will win a 6 month paid subscription to Vanguard: Saga of Heroes when it releases.

So get out there and start spreading the word about Vanguard Spheres today! Theres no time to waste and so much to talk about. Enjoy the contest and if you have any questions not covered in the rules below please feel free to ask here in the contest thread!

Rules:

• This contest runs from the time of this post until 11:59pm EST August 31st, 2006. Any referrals after that time, while greatly appreciated will NOT count towards this contest

• We do not condone spamming of other message boards. If we are contacted by another boards admin complaining about a users spamming of posts, we will automatically disqualify you.

• Registering multiple accounts yourself and referring your main account with them is strictly prohibited. We have tools in place that can discern that sort of behavior so dont test us! Users found resorting to this will be disqualified

• To get credit for a referral you must not only encourage others to register but also participate by posting. The post count of each new user will be displayed next to their name on the referral statistics page. If the number of posts for a referral is 0, you will not get credit for referring them in this contest.

• Due to the unknown nature of Vanguard's pricing model, a cash value cannot be assigned to this contests prize. Additionally, since we dont know what subscription options Sigil will provide for sure (yes we know station passes will be some kind of an option) we cannot specify how we will award the item. It may be in the form of paying for your subscription ourselves, sending you gamecards or doing a paypal transaction. The method of award is strictly up to the staff of Vanguard Spheres.

• Staff members of Vanguard Spheres are not eligible to participate.

I cleaned up the coding for the ornate link some. Various stuff there in the first line that isn't doing anything. I also made the spheres into a link. I'll post it here as well as attach the file. Feel free to use mine, but you may want to change out the referral id with yours. Oh, and you'll need to change the background colors for the dots depending on where you post this. Enjoy and take care!

Fixed the statistics module so it displays properly. No referrals were lost. Thanks for the report Sarcoth!

[Sarcoth]

My pleasure. Glad I could help.

Fixed another bug that was preventing referrals from registering and did some pretty exhaustive testing to make sure there were no other bugs lurking. I also went back through the weblogs for the site by hand and credited people for the referrals the bug had stolen from them. As of now referrals should be working automatically and should not be lost any longer. The stats are also up to date. Thanks for your patience folks. This process will make our next referral contest that much smoother.
