Title: Free Website Contest
Post by: FinsnFur on September 13, 2009, 10:46:22 PM
Every year about this time I post a promotion of some kind, for a limited time, offering a cut rate for either webhosting or site design.

I'll still do that, but I wanted to kick it up a notch, and first offer a free website to someone out there that wants/needs one and never really had the funds to foot it.

I charge $250 dollars ( one time fee) to design/build a site for anyone, with anything...that I have the knowledge to build. With or without Ecommerce.
Domain names run around $9.00 per year
Hosting fees run anywhere from $9.95 /month to 19.95 /month based on the amount of web space you think you need.

Basically if you have no site building experience, your looking at approximately $268.00 dollars to get things going and launched.

I'm going to offer one free website, via a little contest, to those that might be in need or interested

1 year from the date of your site going online, the hosting fees will start, $9.95 /month to 19.95 /month depending on the package you choose.

Interested?

The Contest ....Tell us how many posts you think this whole forum will have on it by the end of the last day in this month, Sept.09

Agian, the whole forum, not just the Tailgate.

`The current post count is posted in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
`The contest will run for one week starting right now. (Ending Sunday the 20th at 10:30 board time)
`Anyone interested needs to have their estimate posted in this forum by then.
`Contest is open to all FnF members.
`Member with the closest estimate, wins the contest.

Edited to add  - Any post that gets edited after 10:30 pm, Sunday Sept. 20th will be disqualified.

Do you mean the site as a whole (Not to be cornfused for A-Hole), or do you mean just the taigate forum, and if so does that include or exclude the sub forum for the funnies?  :innocentwhistle:

And where do you find these numbers again?   :biggrin:

Jim, you are one way cool dude, and that's a fact.  :congrats: :congrats:   I gotta do some calculating quick.  Let's see, some on vacation, some having trouble period.  If a feller was to win the contest, could you make his new website "BITE ME" proof?  :laf: :laf:   No, that's not important, but if old Bop goes on one of those escalated BITE ME rampages, that count could really skyrocket.  :laf: :eyebrownod:

What the hey, I'll guess 124,361

Well I think it was Rigged  :laf:


I gots the right answer 'cause I iz smart.   :eyebrow:

It was a simple formula really................

n=no of days left in the month

d=earth's rotation speed in the year 2109

A=no. of ruthless posts by Alscalls in any given 10 day period

Y=probability of HaMeR blathering  (a number very close to 100%)

Z=vvarminter's IQ X the mass of the Sun



Therefore:

365 x (n/8)n(dn x ndn-1) x (n1) + 2 - (d2 xZ (2)d1) / (Y/1)n+1(dn-1 (n ô€€€ 1)dn+2) -Y x Z / A= 110250
