i thank that fish tank equipment like a filter or sumthing like that would be the better thing to get
Not that any of the above suggestions are bad, or saying that the current system is flawed in any way.... Just a few suggestions.
Idea #1
How about a gift certificate to one of our online partners?
Instead of us Canadians and other internationals not being able to jump on whatever fish is offered for sale, perhaps we can get a non-transferable gift certificate to somoene that will ship internationally (like Rapps).
That way, we can get the knife, or the pike, or whatever else a person wants.
Idea #2
Perhaps offer a 'showcase' rewards package. One of the local radio stations does it here. This is how it works:
There are 6 'Showcase' prizes. There is only 1 winner, and he gets to choose 1 of 6 prizes. Line up 6 of our advertisers (or anyone else who wants to donate). Seems to work really well.
Idea #3
As for raffling it off...how about this. To make it a bit more 'fair' instead of having a time limit and making poor Ming sit on the computer all day saying 'you got it', etc., make it an activity based event.
This is all tied in with Idea 2, but can run independently..
Every member on MFK will get a 'points accouint'. How about 1 point for every post (that doesn't get deleted for abuse!). MFK will put up temporary posts with a 'password code' worth 10 pts (only good for however The Trust wants to stay online checking for - thread is then deleted). To tie our sponsors in that much more, we can have them 'hide' a password somewhere on their site and if you find it, you come back and 'PM' The Trust or Neo and they will credit your account 100 pts.
You then use the points to 'buy' your entries in raffles or perhaps even purchase items directly through MFK (though what I don't know).
Just a few ideas since we seem to be brainstorming here..

All these are being done, it just depends on what is being donated. So far the prizes have mainly been fish but a Fluval 404 filter was offered as well as credit with several sponsors.redwingbum19 said:how about a free subscription to a fish magazine or a gift card to any fish related sites, or better yet see if you can get a really cool monster fish for free from one of our members who use the site to advertise or sell fish and put up a banner to their site and advertise for them if they agree. all of those could work what do you guys think?
a gold plated one???- Status
