I also look forward to the help that this input will provide to the industry! Your site is truly awesome! 
Thanx!
Yeah, I know. I was getting discouraged cause it seems like all the winners were "hit-and-run" members that had never made a post before and just signed up for the contest. For example, two of the winners were named "user1823" and "user1802". That almost seems like a bot to me, or if its not a bot its the same guy pulling some scam. But I suppose Neil wanted to pull in traditional 2D gamers from outside the forum to contribute, so I guess the tactic worked.Fredz wrote:It's nice to see two long time forumers winning a prize.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Yep! That would have been a very advanced bot and I would love to speak to the developer that wrote it if they pulled that off. I would want them to train me further in my computer programming skills for sure! roflNeil wrote:UserXXXX are legit. Awhile back, we did a conversion of the forum and system, and we had to do a mass-renaming of the members to convert to the new system. These members just never got around to updating their user name. Also, only people who completed the survey and had valid profile information could be qualified. That would have been some trick for a bot!

Your patience has paid off! We are very excited to reveal the final prize list and the U-Decide 2010 winners! While all the names were picked randomly from a hat, the video game and software give-away choices were largely determined by the gaming systems you listed in your completed surveys. We did this to avoid the problem of winners getting prizes they couldn't use (e.g. getting a PS3 game when you only own an XBOX).
