There is only one prize to this 'game', finding a cure. Oh how we'd love to win it.

There are several 'teams' out there that have a huge database of 'crunchies' ... one that springs to mind is EasyNews ... how do they get so many? The answer is quite inginious ... they'll give you a credit note ... Here is what they do

Now I know we cannot offer anything so luxurious but you see what power an incentive can have ... they have been at WCG for a week and are #3



OK, thinking caps on ...

A sugestion, not a fact ...

Want a brand spanking top range 64bit PC ... easy, join "The PCReview Crew II" and we'll give you one ... the catch? ah, you have to contribute to it too ... we'll spend £1000 on a new system, but every cruncher donates some money ... 10 crunchers = £100 each ... now, have 100 crunchers and its only £10 each ...

Well that's one idea ... NEXT!

Hey IAN ... how about, just as a start, we have our own 'board room', the same as the mods have ... crunchers only.

Can it be setup that all crunchers can enter automatically or would it be a pass-worded section?

Just a suggestion ...

Hmmm, a private forum should be easy enough to set up. I'll have a look into the vB ranks section and see if its possible to set something up, perhaps as a sub-board to this one.

Not sure we can trust Mucks, after all I ordered TWO unique empty boxes from this guy (Well sort of unique, I think there was a job lot of 50,000) and they never turned up.

I don't know, these rogue e-bay traders, they just lead you up the garden path ......

Only kidding Mucks, I'd be up for it, so long as it's the 100 contributors figure!

Hey ... think first ... I have. Not sure now how good it would be ... lets wait a wee bit for some feed back


Hey, they are in the post ... I have the stamps right here to prove it.

You want feedback ...

I think it could be a good incentive, just because people are naturally inquisitive and they would start crunching to see what's on the "other side".

However, it may make it "elitist" and drive people away. Also, if more of the chat takes place behind "closed doors" if might put-off the casual passing trade.

Hope that makes some sense, I know what I mean!

So do I ... do I?

No really, I'm not sure either now ... closed doors for mods is fine but we actually want MORE coverage ... so NO, I say don't. Yeah well blame my effeminate side.

I know what would be a good start... a nice big news article on it!

I'll ask Becky really nicely if she can come up with something for the front page

Incentives to crunch:

For males:

1st Prize: A guided tour of the Greenwich waterfront and a free pint of beer.
2nd prize: Same thing but you're paying.

For females:

1st prize: A night out with me.
2nd prize: Two nights out with me.

Are you talking a raffle here? Or prize for top cruncher, as the latter wouldn't be competitive, somebody always has a whole rake of machines to use.
