Digital Home Thoughts: Digital Media Thoughts Contest: Must Be Present to Win

I'm noticing something as I do these contests to give away prizes: some people aren't claiming them! I don't know whether they're not getting the email (I'm not getting bounces), or they're not interested in the prize. Who wouldn't be interested in something free though? ;-) One factor could be that most people seem to use Hotmail or Yahoo email accounts, and likely don't check them very often. We've modified phpBB, our forum software, to completely hide your email address - it's protected from spam bots and can only be accessed by the administrators of this Web site. I'd urge people to put an email address on their account that they actually check every day. :-)

In light of this, I'm modifying the contest rules: if the prize isn't claimed within seven (7) days from when the drawing was first done, the prize will be given away to someone else, either chosen at random or given away in a method of my own choosing.

We have a lot of prizes to give away, so make sure you check your email!
