  Active Network Competition - Updated 6/25 (Who is Winning)
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

We have a rather big competition for you all to enter (well take part in anyway). Firstly the prize, it is a boxed, production version (though NFR) Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition 25 CAL worth $3999. So how do you enter? Well it's simple, the person who posts the most comments across our group of sites over the course of the competition, that is ActiveWin, ActiveXbox, ActiveMac and Anetforums will be awarded the prize, of course there are a few rules:

  • No spamming
  • No single word posts for no reason

The competition will begin 6/4 and end on July 5th. We are not going to be picky on the one word posts; just do not abuse it! So get posting!!! Good Luck!

Update!: Here is the list of people thus far who are in the lead. We excluded the # of posts to keep the competition rough. But, it is anyone's game at this point and even a newbie could come up and win from behind. Msucks is close behind Mr. Dee. In addition, there are some newcomers to the list. No one's position is secure...

  1. Mr. Dee
  2. msucks
  3. Phaedrus
  4. Halcyon-X12
  5. sodajerk (disqualified)
  6. monkeydog
  7. humor
  8. Parkker (tied)
  9. diaphanein (tied)
  10. happyguy
  11. Cthulhu
  12. sodablue
  13. ClosedStandards
  14. tgnb
  15. bobsireno
  16. TechLarry

Good Luck :-) We need to get some good arguements going!

#2 By 1868 (141.133.144.99) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 05:41:10 PM
WTF? Monkeydog is going to win this one, this will only produce garbage posts. Arrrggghhh.. I could compete but I like to give insightful comments. Besides NO-ONE posts on Active X-box!

#3 By 1868 (141.133.144.99) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 05:45:28 PM
I guess in the spirit of the contest, I'll open up the floor.


Longhorn....Latehorn? What will the Microsofties be up to over the oncoming summer months?

And another point of controversy, what was up with that party they had for Longhorn last summer?

#4 By 665 (65.66.149.20) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 05:48:26 PM

#5 By 665 (65.66.149.20) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 05:48:35 PM

This has disaster written all over it.

#8 By 116 (24.173.215.234) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 08:06:23 PM
Sounds great! ;)

#9 By 37 (68.185.170.174) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 09:06:00 PM

#10 By 2 (24.239.197.85) at Thursday, June 03, 2004 10:34:54 PM
Contest starts tomorrow.... :)

Funny

#12 By 3 (81.100.93.146) at Friday, June 04, 2004 01:56:59 AM
Double points if you post on activexbox!

#13 By 163 (66.58.188.47) at Friday, June 04, 2004 03:45:28 AM
Don't forget ActiveMac :) So far Parker is the only person posting there regularly :)


#14 By 1401 (66.83.242.114) at Friday, June 04, 2004 09:12:29 AM
It should be fun to watch all these vultures posting like crazy to get something for free

#15 By 1124 (165.170.128.65) at Friday, June 04, 2004 09:18:57 AM
If the prize was $3500 I would post like crazy.

#16 By 135 (209.180.28.6) at Friday, June 04, 2004 10:55:29 AM
#20 - I think you should do that, because I would surely win the competition by responding.

#17 By 2 (24.239.197.85) at Friday, June 04, 2004 12:57:39 PM
No, that wouldn't generate any traffic increase that way. Although, now that I have set the precedent I might surprise folks in the future

#18 By 2 (24.239.197.85) at Friday, June 04, 2004 02:26:25 PM
Mr. Dee....because the licenses can be used in a production environment...if you were to buy the licenses otherwise with the software it'd be $3500 retail. Folks, this is a sealed box that you can use fully as if it were retail...just don't try to resell it.

#19 By 2 (136.142.73.218) at Friday, June 04, 2004 06:17:28 PM
Yes....

#20 By 6859 (12.219.23.70) at Saturday, June 05, 2004 01:55:46 PM
Wow, this is an amazing prize, considering that W2K3 EE is $3999 a copy (retail.) I'm impressed. Seriously.

#21 By 2 (24.239.197.85) at Sunday, June 06, 2004 07:28:47 PM
No, I followed up on #37's comment, the actual MSRP is $3999

#22 By 8556 (12.217.173.227) at Tuesday, June 08, 2004 10:42:41 AM
The 25 CALs are a real nice prize. Anybody that subscribes to Action Pack already has MS Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, but it only comes with 5 CALs. A small companycould really benefit here. My thanks to both Billy Gates and to Active Win for this creative competition.

I would find it entirely comical if msucks won the contest...

Peace,

Hows about a cookie?

#25 By 6859 (206.156.242.36) at Thursday, June 10, 2004 08:55:36 AM
I'm not sure exactly how I got on the top list, but that's pretty cool! :)

I still remain in awe that you guys would give something like this away. Wow.

#26 By 19992 (164.214.4.61) at Thursday, June 10, 2004 09:15:10 AM
#56 Why not? Maybe this will calm some of the more avid MS haters out there if they get some decent experience with the platform.

#27 By 135 (209.180.28.6) at Thursday, June 10, 2004 09:33:11 AM
I think it would be great if msucks won. He could finally realize the joy that is Windows 2003!


Home computer is officially dead... not sure why. Then to make matters worse, my wireless NIC in my laptop stopped connecting to my WAP.

#28 By 19992 (164.214.4.61) at Thursday, June 10, 2004 10:07:51 AM
#58 Pretty crappy timing to lose your PC now with all of the arch changes that are promised later this year.

#29 By 13030 (198.22.121.120) at Thursday, June 10, 2004 10:27:51 AM
Wow! I'm only 16 decent posts and 1629 spam posts away from first place! Woo-hoo!

Make that 1628... :-)

Interesting title. Apple resellers are revolting

I would have to agree, people who buy and sell Apples are revolting.

#37 By 11888 (64.230.8.103) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 07:14:32 AM
You're all idiots.

#38 By 6859 (206.156.242.36) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 08:52:02 AM
I just want to break the top 10. Doesn't really matter as I already have a copy of W2K3 EE.

#39 By 1124 (165.170.128.66) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 09:34:26 AM
I do like the idea that more people are posting. It's more like the old days.

I too already have windows server so ...

#40 By 135 (209.180.28.6) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 10:05:14 AM
#113 - Are you expecting to win, monkeydog?

#41 By 2 (24.239.197.85) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 10:28:36 AM
This copy of Windows 2003 Server, though to be allowed use on production server, cannot be resold. Microsoft actively searches eBay for this kind of stuff and they are well aware of this Serial # on this box, so I wouldn't sell this...Besides the fact is not only stupid, but illegal.

How about posting with nothing to say? Like this one.

#43 By 19992 (164.214.4.61) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 12:48:00 PM
Why was sodajerk disqualified?

#44 By 135 (209.180.28.6) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 05:13:39 PM
Better you sell it on ebay, than try to install it on your 386, monkeydog.

#45 By 21705 (66.131.36.183) at Tuesday, June 22, 2004 10:55:03 PM
Asking people to post more to win a contest is not a synonym of quality in term of what will be written, and what we are all reading.

I just going to start posting for the hell of it, and keep it fun.

#47 By 21705 (66.131.36.183) at Wednesday, June 23, 2004 07:56:17 PM
Hey, when you edit a post, that also count for +1 because of a bug in the count system..
