Keep your eyes peeled!

I've actually been spending a HUGE amount of time on this, it looks like I might be able to get products from MAJOR actermarket manufacturers on here.

Probably Giveaway Items: (verbal committements from vendors)
- Exhaust/muffler from a major manufacturer
- Offroad lights from a well-known lighting company
- Aftermarket filters from a huge supplier
- Towing airbag suspension system
- and a LOT more. This contest is going to be HUGE!

This can only be called a MEGA SUMMER CONTEST from GMTC and all you have to do to enter is post messages on the site. :-)

I got two more companies involved in the contest today, I'll have an official list in the next two week. Looks like some more great prizes including a major parts company and another aftermarket specialty supplier. Things are shaping up to be a GREAT summer. :-)

ohhh sorry you can't be part of it. The truck has to be 1991 or newer...






Just kidding. :rofl: Usually just being active on the forum ups your chances winning. But it really depends what the contest is. I'm sure as the contest draws closer you will see more info on exactly what is going on. :great:

It was asked before...."how do I enter the contest?"

It's very simple, just come to the site, get involved and post messages. Each message you post is one entry into the contest. The more you post, the more chances you have to win!

didn't see the exhaust system on the list. I am deffinately in then. mine's been making some weird poping noises lately and appears to be getting rust rot around the seams of the factory muffler so it may be time for mine to be changed out too. might have to any way before the contest is over. still will be fun to see who wins what on here.

My overall goal is to start by the end of the month, so by Friday, I'd better get working. Getting a hold of some of the vendors has been tough as I think a lot of folks have been taking vacations and what not ... sorry for the delay but I'm working on it.

I suggest that everyone get geared up for the contest by 1) creating new topics, 2) replying to old topics, 3) inviting friends and family to the site (make sure to have them list your user name as the referred when you register), and 4) posting photos to the Photo gallery.

Just remember folks, there's only like 16 1/2 weeks left of posting before the contest ends on Sept 31st! haha, that's about 115 days and counting down!

Ten messages posted per day would give you over 1,110 chances to win one of the prizes ... who can't post ten messages per day? You could do that in 20 minutes if you tried.

It's a random contest and there really aren't all that many posts in a given month. Most users post just a couple of times, if at all, each month, so if you post a lot then you have much better chances ... plus this is across multiple prizes too...

now how does that whole math thing work out for this again? 10 posts a week supposed to give you 1000 or so at the end of the contest???? that's what i have been trying to do , i only missed one week and i am still only at a little over 500 posts and 300 or more i had before i started posting for the contest. something's not adding up for me here

Steve
08-22-2009, 12:35 AM
ONLY 10 more days left! Get to posting!

Refresher: Each post that you make is one more entry into the contest. It's like tickets that are torn in two and tossed into an empty swimming pool. If you have 1000 tickets in the pool, you have 1000 total chances to win. However, the odds of winning will change as everyone else's post counts towards the total number too.

Right now it looks like there will be about 45,000 total "entries" into the contest, so if you post 500 times during the contest period, (according to these sample numbers) then you have a 500/45,000 chance of winning the first prize and then a better chance at winning any of the other prizes. That's 5 out of 450 if you break it down, or 1 in 90 total.

Steve

Keep posting, there are just over SIX hours left in the contest and each post that you make in the system counts as ONE ENTRY into the contest. The most you post, even at this late hour, the better chance you have in winning.

If you have 20 posts as of right now and you fire off another 20 in the next six hours, then you doble your chance at winning.

The last post of the contest is in. http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/showpost.php?p=173641

Early numbers show there were 35,462 messages posted in the contest period, so each post counted as 1 of 35,462. I'll double check those numbers, but that's about right.

Thanks everyone for making this site so much fun to run, we have a GREAT contest coming up in the very near future, it's planned to be bigger and better and more fun with more stuff to do and chances and ways to win! Good times!

I'll crunch the numbers and I'll see if we can't get the old webcam out and do a live video show to announce the winners. :-)

The winners list is all set, I have to double-check with all of the vendors that the prize redemption will go smoothly, and then I'll make an announement as fast as I can to do either a live web-show with the winners announced live (and give you like an hour to email me to redeem the prize or someone else gets it), or I'll just post a list with the same rules.

just kidding, I'll give you at least an hour and a half to email in. :-) hahaha, I'm tired, still playing! Read the rules, it tells you how to redeem.

The official rules state "Prizes will be announced through a publicly posted message, Private Message and/or email. It is the responsibility of the winner to monitor these communication methods and respond to collect the prize. Prizes not collected (or no communication) within 30 days will be forfeited and a new winner may be selected. "

This is very unexpected for me and I would like to thank everyone in the club for participating here on this website. I have learned more about Chevy Trucks here in 6 months than I have in years on my own. This site is a step above the rest and everyone should be proud to be a part of it.

Congratulations to all the winners and a special thanks to Steve the webmaster for the hard work he puts in here.

Well It was funny because I was on the live broadcast today at 1:00 o' clock watching Steve talk about the contest, and I realized I had to go to work so I reluctantly signed off. When I got to work I got on my phone and went on the site, but I was unable to sign in just look. to my amazement I actually won something, and I have to say that I am kind of curious to see this artwork. I have only owned one piece of artwork my whole life, and that's an original Thomas Kinkade that I actually got him to sign when he came to Cleveland.
I have been on this site for a while now, and I have always felt like one of the guy's which is a nice feeling to be accepted at least by some. I honestly believe that when I sold my truck I lost a piece of myself, but being able to come home and sign onto this club made it a little less bitter for me. I am left now to live through other people's experiences, but for me that is almost as good as having my truck here with me.

Steve you constantly amaze me with what you do on this site, and I think it's a great thing your doing for all of us. Not only this contest but many of the other things that this site offers, because of this site I am making my first trip to Carlisle Pennsylvania next month and it's thanks to the member's on this site that have bragged it up so much. So thanks again, and I will make a write-up of my artwork hanging skills. You know what type of wall anchor, how to hang a level picture and how to use lighting to make the picture really pop. :party::party::party:
