Gene and I have talked it over. While the post limit is an interesting idea, it is not enforceable without a Herculean effort on my part or a major change to way the forum works. So, that is out. We thought about changing the rules until I read this:
If for any reason Audioholics.com is unable to contact a prize winner within one week of the drawing at the email address provided on entry, the prize will be deemed forfeited and no new winner will be drawn.
In Clint we trust. This rule will be enforced to the letter from this moment on. You have been put on notice.
Understand that while the occasional "I never got my notice, how do I collect my prize" email wasn't that bad, the flood gates opened over the last month and a half and I've spent WAY too much time on this. DVIGear in particular has been very gracious in handing out prizes that weren't claimed MONTHS later. I suggest everyone that read this should check their account and ensure that their email is active. If you have aggressive spam filters, I suggest you check your spam mail folder during the first 2 weeks of every month you think you could have won a prize. More importantly, I do post the winners within a week in the winners thread. I'd check that as well (bookmark it from some of you).
I know you all want to see the unclaimed prizes held over for the next month or a new winner picked but it just not going to happen. These contests are more work than you expect and doubling or tripling that workload trying to find someone that checks their email on a regular basis isn’t fair to anyone.
