DreamTheaterForums donation contest -- ***WINNERS ANNOUNCED***

[El Barto]

Where is this donate link? I've seen it in the past, but I'm not finding it now.

Right at the top of the page.

Home Forum Discography Biographies Donate!

Seems to be theme dependent. That bar doesn't show up when using the Sick Mother Fucker core theme. Thanks.

Donation made.

[bosk1]

Thanks to all who donated.  If you sent me a PM as instructed, you should have your Alumni status.  If I missed anyone, please let me know. 

Of those who met the contest criteria, I have drawn the names of 5 winners.  I will tally up what prizes I have and begin sending PMs later this week.  For those who may not be familiar, name #1 gets first pick of the prizes.  Then winner #2 gets to pick next from what is left, and so on.

Congrats to our winners:
1.  Nihil-Morari
2.  Hourglass Prison
3.  BlobVanDam
4.  wideworldofmike
5.  Jonny108

Yeah, I am going to get killed on international shipping this time.    It is nice to see some old timers as well as some new faces get some prizes.  I should also point out that there were several who donated smaller amounts that did not meet the contest threshold, and a few who donated and specifically asked NOT to be entered in the prize drawing.  I just want to say that whether you donated a lot or a little bit, and whether you got drawn for a prize or not, your support is greatly appreciated.  These forums continue because of your generosity. 

[Evermind]

Congratulations to the winners!

[BlobVanDam]

Neat!

[Zydar]

Congrats all!


And Blob.

[thedrumanimal]

Damn. 

Well, congrats to the winners... 

[Jaffa]

Yeah, I am going to get killed on international shipping this time. 

If it helps, you can just give Blob's prize to me.   

Kidding.  Congratulations to the winners!  And to everyone who donated, thank you for your contribution toward keeping this place running for all of us.

Well, no response from Hourglass Prison.  If anyone is in contact with him, please let me know I need a response from him.  To keep it moving, I am going to let Blob choose next, and so on, until I hear from him.  On ward...

[Evermind]

The first person didn't pick up the SC tourbook? Whoa.

[bosk1]

Those are gorgeous.  But they seldom get picked.  I think maybe people just don't realize how cool something like that actually is and have a tough time picturing it.  But they are a great thing to have.  Scotty did a really amazing job with those.

Speaking of Scotty doing an amazing job, he really did a nice job on the 25th anniversary posters too.  I have some of those laying around somewhere too, but couldn't manage to find them when I was listing the prizes.


EDIT:  Okay, I spoke too soon.  Just had one of them claimed.   

[BlobVanDam]

I've been sitting here the whole time thinking "please nobody take the tourbook please nobody take the tourbook".

[bosk1]

No worries.  I have a bunch of them.  Even if everybody wanted one, we would be fine.

[BlobVanDam]

In that case, tour books for all!

[jingle.boy]

In that case, tour books for all!

Haha, I already have most of the stuff on the list, including the poster and the tour book! Never had anything autographed by the band though, and the Build Me Up single seemed quite rare from a quick google search 

[bosk1]

Yeah, if it wasn't claimed by the end of the contest, I was considering donating some cash and keeping it myself.

Is it?! I have no idea about that stuff, rarity etc. I have another 9 (autographed) of those in my box of tricks.  I just fish things out occasionally for competitions and charity requests etc. I've hoarded bits and pieces from all my artists over the years. Glad I was able to donate some bits.

[bosk1]

Glad I was able to donate some bits.

As am I.  Thanks again.

Haha, that's great. Well, for rarity and value checks I mostly use discogs.com, and this one wasn't even one there.

Kirsten, can you send me another copy please?
