[Contest]: Rename Grievances and Win an American Goodie Box
« on: March 13, 2010, 11:16:26 AM »
After many years as the Grievances mod, I’m hanging up my hat and handing over the reigns to the lovely phatbeetle.  I’ll still be about, but in a more global mod sense.

As my parting gift to Grievances, I am sponsoring a contest to rename the Grievances board.  The prize is an American goodie box containing:

  • Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix (donated by the lovely Ashley)
  • One can A&W Root Beer
  • One can of Welch's Grape Soda
  • One can of A&W Cream Soda
  • Country Time Pink Lemonade mix (19 oz)
  • Mike & Ike
  • Fruit by the Foot
  • Wonka Nerks
  • Honey Maid Graham Crackers
  • Box of Nabisco Saltines
  • Bottle of A1 Steak Sauce

The Contest

The object is to rename Grievances, but with a positive slant.  We still want a place where members can vent, but we a looking for a new name that’s a bit more positive—or even better, positive and witty!  We have a lot of crafty wordsmiths out there, so we know you are up for the challenge.

How It Will Work

Post your ideas in this thread which will remain open until 24 March 2010.  On the day, I will then collect the ideas, create a poll and members can vote for their favourite.  The poll will be blind and the results revealed on April Fool’s Day.

The idea with the most votes will win.  You can only vote once, so please vote wisely!

In the event that a US-based person wins, we unfortunately can’t ship the products back overseas; however, your idea will still be considered the winner, but the next highest UK-based person will win the goodie box.
