Last Time I check... *I* wasn't in the mod scene to win ACRyan's contests... or any contest for that matter.

I do it for the fun of it... if ACRyan eventually comes out and "abandons" or finally "ends" the worklog contest... great.

However, I won't be holding my breath to even place in the top much less hear anything further on it.

I reckon they're busy plagiarising all the innovations that peeps have come up with for commercial gains.

Just got a response back from them:

Hi Alex,

Great to hear from you!

When we started the contest, we did not predict that there would be THAT many contestants ;) no regrets - enjoying everyone one of the logs! Well we still firmly believe if you would take the effort to log it, we will take the effort to read it. So we have not yet picked a winner.

We have postponed the announcement of winner is to 15 March 2006.

Thanks for reminding us about it! We've put up a notice on the site to inform everyone about the new date for winner announcement. http://www.acryan.com/contest/index.shtml

Greetings,
Andy

Nobody asked ACRyan until now? ...ok :rolleyes:

Meh. I emailed them twice, almost 2 months ago, about a product I was interested in. I have YET to get a response. I guess they're making enough money that they don't need mine.

That, and the fact that there's only one place in the U.S. that sells their stuff, and they're a bit overpriced for my tastes on almost anything, and don't even carry the ACRyan stuff i was looking for....

Nice business practices is all I have to say.

Sounds to me that they might be a tad arogant, or undermaned in the tech suport department.

Wheres Tribal on this thread? surely he will know the 4 1 1?

More and more this sounds like many people will loose out on this.

I hope you guys get something. I my eyes when this started I know it was a bad idea because just on one site there more then 10 new work logs starting every week. So lets the do the math 9 site I log on, with 10 new work logs a week. And for a few months.= Hundreds of work logs. Many at few pages and with lots of planning writing.

IF they that till March 15, they basically need to read about the same as a novel a day.

Good luck to AC Ryan. I hope for the best for all you guys specially some of the really great mods that came out of Wizd.

Thats similar to the mental maths i did - should have limited it to there own forum, or just one forum, and had registrations, voting etc - would have removed any posible doubt.

PULSE

Clever, but it will turn around on them, people are getting fed up with them, (this thread for one) so it may do more harm than good in the end. It surely gave them heaps of exposure though.

But but but.... if they had an official announcement maybe people would remove the "Im a great nosepicker....." sigs from thier forum profiles. Thats a hell of alot of advertising to loose.

Ahh well, Thanks for my PSU ACR :thumb:
