Ok, folks! Time for an update on our Membership Contest. Here's our leader board as of 7/4/2020:
1. sugar142286 -- 6 new premiere members, 255,000 points gained
2. GingerbreadLatte -- 2 new member referrals, 200,000 points gained
3. ponytramp -- 1 new member referral, 100,000 points gained
4. Rich -- 1 new premiere member, 5000 points gained
5. KimB -- 1 new premiere member, 5000 points gained
Ok, now for some explanations:
1. This contest runs the entirety of July.
2. The number that really counts and that wins the contest is the NUMBER of members, no matter if they are referred to MMC or upgraded
3. The points should matter to you. The more points you have the faster you climb to a lifetime cost-free membership
4. The fastest way to gain points is to refer a new member using the referral system. Each new Merry Forums member gets you 100,000 points. (Tip: The best way to get referrals is to forward a Tweet from MMC or a MMC Facebook Post to your friends with your referral link added).
5. Giving free premiere memberships is fun and gets you 5000 points -- for the first one. But each time you add another premiere member you point win doubles. So the 2nd is worth 10,000, the 3rd is worth 20,000, the 4th is worth 40,000, etc. That's how sugar142286 has gained so many points. Her 7th, if she finds someone to upgrade, will give her another 200,000 points. This is the horse race part of the contest and it's a fast way to rack up the points.
We have LOTS of time for this contest. And with so much coming for Christmas in July it is a good time to be bringing new people on board.
