There is 20 winners and theres still plenty of time for you to win something. As long as you are making good posts, all your posts will count.

Yeah sure, But I guess the forum stickies and rules are more important than the FAQ, the faq's just a normal vB faq

I am aiming for that Grand Prize. It will come in very useful for me as there are some things I really need to buy this christmas. I am going to do everything I can to win, if that means spending every minute possible on this forum, and getting my friends to sign up as referals.

I have a few college mates who will want to join and post, so I will get them to join up as referals.

I will also be making a lot of topics and guides for everyone to enjoy. I hope they come in really useful for everyone.
