He must have a time machine. Good job MadGez.
If we do this again any suggestions on what film say, in the fall?

Re: Crazy Rich Asians contest - Win $20 gift card
You should offer more than $20. Jack Sparrow said he would double it.

Re: Crazy Rich Asians contest - Win $20 gift card
Haha I never said doubling I think it would be better to offer money into different films than offering more money.

Oh, true, he didn't say he would double. Just checked, he said he'd triple it!

Re: Crazy Rich Asians contest - Win $20 gift card
It'd be cool to have a site where you can pay like a $1 entry fee for various contests (maybe even ones similar to my own game) for a chance at a $ prize. This seems similar but is actually legal in 36 states: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.legals ... iction-con

Certainly would like to see further competitions like this. Venom or Halloween would be best. Worth a vote? As for betting - opens up a legal can of worms. Let's keep it at friendly competitions for now.

Re: Crazy Rich Asians contest - Win $20 gift card
Agree - in addition to the legality concerns, people on the internet get turned off by paying for anything

Re: Crazy Rich Asians contest - Win $20 gift card
Yes - Indeed. I handed over a successful (free) online motorsport guessing game in the early 2000s to the website the forum was on. Would have had 150-200 entries per round on the forum.
Once it was turned into into a betting game - it attracted less than 20 participants per round and was not viable.

Re: Crazy Rich Asians contest - Win $20 gift card
I’d be willing to donate $20 every now and then.
Purpose for me would be to 1. Attract new members (somewhat easy) and 2. Attract new contributing members (difficult). Shack and I have been carrying the marketing banner and between my paid ads and Shacks awesome twitter page we’ve brought in traffic and new members (to include the owner of Boxoffice Guru and Boxoffice Prophets) but need ideas on how to encourage umm...actual participation.
Agree on improving the site first. Spoke to Lecter a couple of days ago and he said he’d weigh in on site improvements but said he doesn’t post in the site anymore (odd) so the brainstorming will be him, me and whoever wants to join via Facebook.

All KJ needs is one tweet going viral and it can spawn a revival.
