So, the staff and sponsors are planning to have some kind of giveaway when we hit 50K likes on Facebook, which should be within the next 20-25 days or so as we are sitting at 43k now.

I thought how we ran it the last time went smoothly, and plan to keep the same format, unless you guys have any suggestions. I'm also planning on having some kind of separate prizes for loyal members to reward those who contribute and visit the board on a regular basis. I haven't decided how that criteria should be met, ie post count, last visit, membership length, ect.

Feel free to post what you'd like to see as far as giveaway items, rules, or format!

Lol was wondering why I had no permission. I said before, I feel post count and last visit would work if possible. To me membership time sucks for those like me who recently join because of stick and giveaway and have hung around. I visit about 3 times daily and add my input if I feel it isn't WAAAAY off the mark.

Anyway you want to run it is cool with me, always nice to see forums/companies giving goodies out to the little guys. Maybe though people who havent been on in the last month or 2 be out ?

Also agree with the email thing.

Some of our sponsors so far:

CMT Tactical
Dahmer Arms
AR15news.com
Rainier Arms
Fortis Manufacturing
VG6 Precision

Working on a 1/2 dozen more. It should be a pretty good giveaway. We're going to keep a couple of the nice items for WEVO members who have been here.

Looks like we are going to launch next Monday - ish. 4/14

A few of the prizes will be held back for a separate giveaway for "veteran WEVO" members. So basically if you've signed up for WEVO on or before 3/31/14 you are in the "veteran" status. We had to do a cut off at some point, so this makes it easy to identify. This part of the giveaway will not be advertised anywhere except on the forum. This prevents the one and done sign ups from winning and increases the chances for our loyal members.

Stay tuned, more details to follow.

Battle Cock
10 April 2014, 12:20
It is my humble and so very completely unbiased opinion that at least one of Stickman's prints should be included in the veteran giveaway. Art like that should go to those who are capable of appreciating it most. That, and I want more chances to win one!

This makes me happy. Historically it's kinda rubbed me the wrong way when 500 new members join just to post "I'm in", decreasing everyone else's chances, and then vanish like a fart in the wind with exactly 1 post and nothing to contribute.

18 April 2014, 14:55
Just curious, I quit counting the 1 post and done entries, it lost it's humor. Does the management really think that those folks "LIKE" them? I swear, slap me if I'm wrong, but facebook seems so bogus. Really, I'm sincerely curious, how does Facebook benefit the board and sponsors, if the "Like's" are only here to enter a contest, register, and post once never to return again? Oh well, it's cool of you guys to let us folks enter, in a differnet thread, who will return, follow the links of your sponsors, purchase stuff, and come back to the forum, even if we don't win cool stuff, and even if we don't have a farcebook page.[:D] But I'm missing something in the "Big Picture" about how FB is really benefiting anyone, I have to be. It's like I have to go to the store, buy a bunch of cool things, and give them to strangers, so they'll "like" me and be my "friend". I am apparently way out of touch with social media.

:P

While I can't claim to know why various companies donate to giveaways like this, I'd guess that its all about exposure and brand recognition. The more frequently a company can get their product or name in front of a customer, the more likely that customer is to "trust" the brand when they seek to purchase something.

I thought that was called advertising. Seriously, I'm not trying to be a hard head here, I'm just seriously curious how all of this worked to the benefit of...well anyone. My 8 year old grandson did a video of his pup in a "Stealers" (He's in PA, can't blame him) shirt running up and down a Lego football field. He posted it on Youtube and Facebook, and I was amazed at how many "likes" it got.

Again, I may be getting old and out of touch, but I know which vendors I like to buy from, without having to visit another website to tell them I "like" them, for selling me stuff?

Several years ago, pre-Facebook and youtube, I remember watching a news broadcast, like 60 Minutes, or Dateline, or I don't remember which, but certain groups of people were "professional" contest participants. They would scour the grocery stores, newspaper coupons, just all sorts of stuff. Some of them actually made a heck of a decent living with cash and other prizes. I'm just curious about people that come here, register, and their first and only post, is, "I'm in it to win it". Then wait and see if they won anything or not. I wonder if they're up to the same thing, only with a modern digital twist.

Truth is, it's really none of my business as to how WEVO or other forums set these things up, it's just my never ending curiosity as to how they benefit from it, with aforementioned "1 poster's". Oh well, guess I'll never fully understand it.[:D]

UWone77
18 April 2014, 18:14
FT,

Some of what you maybe missing is, our sponsors don't necessarily have the main goal of advertising through these giveaways. Over the years we have developed a relationship with our sponsors, so they genuinely want to help out and graciously donate to benefit our membership.

Of course we will advertise the fact who is donating and what they're donating to give them more exposure.

In the event someone wins a prize, they love it, and tell all their friends about it, who in turn get to shoot or use it, they may also be buyers down the road. A good example of that is Battle Arms Development Selectors. Someone might win a set who may ordinarily scoff at spending $60-$70 on a safety selector. Once they install their first set, they may end up thinking all 6 of his rifles now need selectors.

In the end, we have great sponsors, who see the value of helping out our membership, so go with the flow. [:D]

Despite some very well-written responses to my question in a thread, I still kind of scoff at the BAD selectors because of the price.

I get the feeling here that this board doesn't require you to be an "expert" to post your thoughts like another board I'm a member of. It also doesn't have the full retard posts of ar15.com. Just a nice mix of guys talking about guns.

That's a big reason why I haven't entered on the other giveaways. It's mostly people who do a drive by wanting free stuff. For me, I already get free stuff, in that I learn things without paying anything. I don't expect anything material from the site, so I've avoided entering. Of course, now that you're putting those BAD ASS levers in play, well, game on. Smiles, and stuff.

Seriously, though it's a nice thing for you guys to offer, but it isn't what makes me come back to the site.

I get the feeling here that this board doesn't require you to be an "expert" to post your thoughts like another board I'm a member of. It also doesn't have the full retard posts of ar15.com. Just a nice mix of guys talking about guns.

Exactly man. I don't know everything. Me personally I'd rather put my input in and get corrected. Rather than not getter corrected and messing something up :)

Lmao, I only have a couple post, but I generally visit the site daily or every other day, don't consider myself a expert by any means and don't wanna make myself look like a ass so I don't say anything but read a lot. Plus I'm also on 2 other gun websites that I'm a lot more active and make myself look like a ass there.

Yeah, but it was a AK as in Alaska shirt that had 2 AKs on it, plus since then I've bought all the parts to build another AR that pretty much is a RUC, except it currently has a Magpul mid length handgaurd instead of a rail, BCM gunfighter CH plus I used a Vltor slick side upper for my wife's build. Plus other stocks mags and various stuff from them.
Kinda funny, I didn't know about them before that day, heard they had a grand opening that day through SGN and was killing a few hours while my daughter was at cheer practice, so to entertain myself I stopped by and looked at all the cool stuff. Stayed for the drawings and realized they'd draw like a dozen numbers to give away a few items cause people got a number and left and they threw away the tickets, so I picked up my kid and wife asked if I wanted to go back for the final drawing and I was like sure, she had a ticket too and we weren't called and they threw away a bunch of tickets from people that left. Nothing going on so we went back and I won.
Best day ever, lol.

Well, I'm guilty of having a low post count. Just joined in March after completing my first rifle so I'm pretty new to the platform. I have since done another so I'm up to two now. Frankly I like some others don't feel that I have much to contribute but I do read a bunch and visit regularly. I generally like this forum and do find it informative with what I consider more useful information than some others. Typically it's more positive with less pointless clutter.

I'm cool with being tagged as a drain on the system I guess, although I kind of thought I was being the opposite by refraining from random responses. This is partly from my newness to the platform, and partly the flat out IT introvert that I am. In any case I didn't have any knowledge of any giveaway but I'm pretty stoked and grateful for the opportunity. But don't worry guys, I never win a damn thing and I'm not expecting that to change. It's usually more fun dream about the prize than it is to find I didn't win it because as I mentioned, my record sucks.

Anyway, just wanted to mention my perspective after noticing the increase in views of my profile.. For what it's worth. I do pledge to be less introverted and try to become a contributing member as I do kind of like it here. And to all that provide the info I have enjoyed thus for I thank you for your effort and contributions. I have found it immensely useful.

This concludes my first post that wasn't to get free stuff:)

I don't really know how it happened as usually when you start getting a ton of likes, they're usually fake. However, this time we got a ton more "interaction" as well, so at least some of those new likes were "real"

Most of the time when FB lets gun pages load up on "likes" I'm convinced they load them up with fake likes so their "reach" is actually smaller because less of their real fans are actually getting the posts as these fake likes are getting them in their news feed instead. With no interaction, the post isn't sent to more fans and so on.

Crazy I know... it took off during the giveaway. Guess we just need to keep giving away stuff. [:D]

What's also crazy is now we have nearly 10,000 members, I remember when it was under 3,000....

I remember when you clicked new posts, you would see maybe 2. Glad we have some regulars that keep this place on its toes, like FT and GOST.... [:D]

The Facebook page is still getting 500+ Likes per day, so we're not going to have a 100K Giveaway as that would literally be next month. We try not to hit up our sponsors too often, so we try to do the giveaway thing once a year. Besides, it's kind a pain in the ass to put these together and then administer them.

However, Stickman is going to hit 80K soon, and plans to have a giveaway at 100K so I'll put that together probably towards the fall / end of the year. He plans to giveaway one of his personally used uppers in that one. That giveaway will also be hosted on WEVO so stay tuned for that.
