Post a Puzzle, get Free Stuff!
« on: January 17, 2007, 02:22:13 PM »
Hello, AutoPuzzlers!

One of you has suggested to me, confidentially, that I need help. While psychiatric assistance is undoubtedly in order, this AutoPuzzles member has suggested, rightly so, that I could use help in seking out and posting puzzles. As you may know, I have posted over 150 puzzles since we went to the monthly format in the middle of last year. At the current rate of at least two puzzles every other day, the workload increases. Don't get me wrong, I love posting the puzzles. Some days, however, it seems I go too easy on the pro puzzles and too difficult on the rookie puzzles.

This is how you can help, and score some neat stuff, too:

I know a least a few of you are prominent posters and puzzle-guessers elsewhere on the web. You've seen cars I've never seen, and, I'd hazard to guess, cars most of your fellow AutoPuzzles members might not know, either. What better place to share them than right here? To make it worth your while, I'm prepared to offer AutoPuzzles merchandise (as seen here) or an automotive-themed mystery prize - your choice - to one of our community members (drawn at random from the puzzle posters), once each quarter. Wouldn't you love to wow your friends with an AutoPuzzles shirt, mug, or clock? Here is your chance, and it will not cost you one red cent!

If you'd rather not post, please PM or e-mail me a picture you want posted, and some information about the picture, and I'll post it for you.

As always, thank you for your patronage.
You wanna be the man, you gotta Name That Car!

Thanks!

I can swing once per quarter. If we increase the frequency, I 'll take you up on that!  ;D

I'll continue to toss one in once and a while when I find a good one.  :)

No thanks. I've already got a house full of free stuff. Don't have room for any  more.  but if I see an unusual car related pic I'll gladly pass it along.   :)

Same here; this year has finally shown signs of a potential slowdown for myself...could even result in a belated trip to the Blueberry Pointe Aging Biker Rally.  Don't need anymore stuff (might buy some though), but will make every effort to be more the contributor than the consumer....

This sounds like a great idea Karn. It'll draw the members in, have them contribute, generate more interest and help take some of the work off your shoulders. Sounds like a winning formula!

Makes me want to create a Porridgehead Movable Feast for the Rookies. Not for the prize, of course, but for the fame, glory and wealth of experience.

Ok, so what if it was for the prize. Would that be petty?

And petty would be bad?

And bad is the new good?

I got nuthin.

Our first winner is Graywolf, who has posted puzzles ranging from easy to mind-bendingly difficult!  :drink:

Graywolf, please indicate what prize you would like - either an item from the AutoPuzzles store, or a random gift selected by yours truly, and PM me with where to send your prize.

Congratulations, Graywolf!  ;D

Who is Administrator? More important, did he make that post himself?

A post like this is often an indication of a hacked account.
