"LIKE" our New contest August 25-October 25 Prize 250EXT

[performance]

August 25-October 25 2011 Contest
You’ll LIKE this contest…
It’s time to reboot the contest. This time we are giving away our all new PowerTIG 250EXT or the equivalent 2495.00 of Green Bucks. In case you haven’t heard, the 250EXT is the new welder that we are bringing out shortly. It should be the TIG unit we have produced, and one of the best you will find on the market. This time we are asking our entrants to “LIKE” our site via Facebook. We will also feature a new minimum posting requirement of 75 posts to be eligible, more than the old 60 of the last contest. This contest will be longer, and require more posts. But the prize is larger than ever. Project posts with pictures and details will also count as entries. This time up to 5 project entries will be allowed. Each project posted will count as an additional entry. Each time you post a project, your name will go down into the “hat”. We realize that not all people will be able to post a project, but completing 75 ADDITIONAL posts during the contest (over and above what you have on August 25th) will enter you once and “LIKING” our page on Facebook will enter you again. That means you’ll have up to 7 chances to win. Old projects not posted before, and new ones in process can be posted. We ask that they have something to do with welding, metal working, or some form of metal fabrication. Please keep projects limited to metal related projects. Please post these projects under the projects section. Other posts can be throughout the forum. Keep in mind your project posts count toward your number of posts needed to fulfill the requirements. Also, please remember:
1) Spamming, saying, good job, cool project, etc is discouraged and subject to being removed, causing your post count to go down.
2) Be courteous; don’t make fun of a project. The quality of the project may vary, due to people’s skill level. IF you see something that needs improvement, say so constructively, with a possible solution.
To sum up:
7 entry’s are possible.
1. You will need 75 posts for official eligibility during the contest. This counts as one entry.
2. Liking our Facebook page is another entry (Subject to meeting the minimum 75 post count requirement)
3. Up to 5 projects (metal related) can be entered as additional entries. Posts for the projects can count toward meeting your 75 post minimum requirement, but will not be counted until the requirement is met.

TO ENTER:
1) “Like” our homepage on facebook. (State that you have in your official entry here on this thread).
2) REGISTER YOUR NAME ON OUR FORUM
3) FILL OUT SIGNATURE LINE
4) POST AVATAR (ASK IF YOU NEED HELP)
5) STATE YOUR CURRENT POST COUNT HERE ON THIS THREAD
6) By the end of the contest, you must have 75 MORE posts than you have at the beginning. In other words, if you have 10 at the beginning of the contest, you must have 85 at the end, not just 75 total posts.
7) Complete up to 5 additional project posts to count toward a total of 7 possible entries.
a) Projects should include: a) pictures b) details about size, dimension if applicable c) time took to complete, or estimated projection d) materials used e) discussion of why/how/what/etc was the reason you needed or wanted to do the project.
b) State: This is project 1, project 2 from _____ (your screen name), a_________ (subject matter i.e.: fence) in the title line etc.




Once again here is the fine print contractual stuff that you need to be aware of:

Also, by entering, the entrant agrees to be used as a reference for up to two years and his/her promotion and their likeness and comments be used in any future promotional literature. Everlast may ask for the entrant’s honest, heartfelt comments about the “prize” unit after a period of time to be used in evaluation, product improvement and promotions. No actual cash compensation will be made to the contest winner. The winning entrant also agrees to hold Everlast harmless /blameless against any, death, injury, loss of time, or other damage or inconvenience while using an Everlast product or by entering this contest. Everlast is not responsible for paying any applicable state, federal or local taxes that may be incurred from the winnings of this promotion and the winning entrant agrees to assume any tax responsibility and shipping incurred. Odds of winning are dependent upon the actual number of qualified entries received by the deadline date and time. By entering this contest, the contestant acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions of this contest. Final determination of eligibility is conditioned upon meeting the above criteria and the decision rests with Everlast.
Contestants must be 1) Either in the continental US or Alaska OR 2) pay shipping costs and any duty or taxes due.

August 25-October 25 2011 Contest ....your name will go down into the “hat”. We realize that not all people will be able to post a project, but completing 75 ADDITIONAL posts during the contest (over and above what you have on May 31st) will enter you once and “LIKING” our page on Facebook will enter you again. .

Is this a mistype?? -- May 31st???

Well I guess I am out of this one :mad: because I refuse to be a part of Facebook!

That counts for another entry after the 75 post count entry, but that's sort of the reason behind the contest.

[Tritium]

I had a lot of trouble with Facebook in the past so they are on my "do not deal with" list along with PayPal so if Facebook is not an absolute requirement then Count me in! :)
Current post count is 275 and I will need 350 to qualify. ( Edit: This requirement met 13 October 2011 )

There are 7 possible entries, only one deals with facebook, but most people these days do have an account if they own a computer...I suppose someone could complain that our contest is on the internet, because they don't do internet or internet forums. But having someone like our page is a welcome gesture, and we are going on one's honor on this requirement largely.

The facebook thing isn't a complaint, it's just that I don't put personal info on the web.... I guess I'm an odd ball, I don't own a cell phone either.

[Tritium]

I can spread the word to "Like" on facebook to those whom I know have an account. Of course I don't expect an additional entry for their "Likes" but it will serve to boost Everlast rating.

Thanks for the response "Sportbike" I admit I don't Facebook alot. Wife, kids, and work keeps me to busy to really learn it.

[jsclark4500]

So when will pictures and product info be added under the "products" heading? Do you have bigger pictures and is there an owners manual yet?

[performance]

??? Can you give further information? which products? All units have large pictures....And there is a big red manuals button at the top of the page. Are you actually clicking on the product?

Liked your facebook account. Not entering contest though. I'd never make the post count. Good luck everyone.

Ian

[bobwills]

Not sure if ill be able to make it either. 75 sure is a lot. But you should still enter. Its a lot of fun. All i know it gets me really involved with their website. Which its suppose to do. Now I seem to be on all the time.

[performance]

Bob your on your way. Its still just a little more than a post a day...Not very hard at all.

[bobwills]

Yeah. Im doing a lot better than I figured I would already. Im surprised there hasn't been a lot more discussions started since the contest started. Guess im gonna have to find some more projects to do because they are good easy ways to get a few posts and I also do enjoy a good project. Mark you hear anything more on the next shipment of powerarc 200s. Cant wait to get mine. Be a big step up from my Lincoln 225 ac.

[performance]

Bob, They will come in with the whole order. There isn't a separate shipment for the PA's. Duncan is there now working on the order, and checking things out. It'll be done soon, but its best not to rush things, especially in China. Here, on our side we see things differently, but half of manufacturing in China is dealing with cultural "senitivity" to criticism.

[bobwills]

Ok. Im just like a little kid on christmas morning having to wait for it. lol. Im really excited. And true. Rushing things never turn out like they should. I read that they were doing testing on them. Have they made any changes to them why they are testing things or is it just to make sure everything is working right.

[performance]

Don't won't to upset this thread and make it too much more difficult to sort through than it is, but...
As far as I know, there are no changes other than the single port which snuck in on us last time....should be keeping it, as its a pleasant mistake imho. As we tell people all the units are tested at the factory before they are shipped out. When Duncan is there, he is overseeing production, and final testing.

[I_Love_Plasma]

Count me in. I have "liked" Everlast on Facebook. Starting post count 118. I'm just starting over so Rugar isn't mad at me and calling me spam. :(

[Tritium]

Count me in. I accidentally posted a few weeks ago in a old contest. ""Starting with 82 posts. Guess I'll've to kick 'er in overdrive for summer projects."" If this doesn't qualify, I will be starting at 85, I have 32 new posts since 9/1/11 (including this post).

I believe that your count starts "when" you first post your intent to enter in this thread. But that will be a mods. decision.

Thurmond

[Rugar]

Well I hope it counts..if not I will be starting at 118 :( Whatever's fair though, I wont win anything anyways.

I'm about ready to just buy you a welder just to stop the spam! Enough already! Please don't make him start over. :mad:

I have liked you on Facebook. I am starting out with 1 post.

[performance]

We've sort of got a "big tent" philosophy here. So, guys lets not step on each other's toes...BUT we do need to keep quality up on the posts and I think that part of the point is fair.

Iloveplasma: No need to start over, as a couple of posts may have already been trimmed, and if they were, it will reset your post count automatically. Nothing wrong with posting a large volume of posts, just make sure its a post you would find informative, entertaining, inquisitive or otherwise of something that you would want to read IF you weren't yourself.

[redbeard]

The wife has now liked you on facebook, and probably confused the hell out of all her quilting buddies.:)

Just wondering, will we get the chance to confirm all of our bonus entries have been counted before the hand goes into the hat?

[everlastsupport]

We do the best we can on the counts. It is recommended you post a count as well and we can check our counts against your.

That was done the last contest and caught a couple mis-counts.

[DaveO]

Are we supposed to edit the initial post here to include the projects?

Hey, Trip, welcome! I saw your intro post and was about to respond to suggest you join the contest, but you beat me to it.

When you post projects try the "Welding Projects and Pictures" section, down toward the bottom of the main Forums page. There's a couple different categories to choose from.

[Trip59]

Apologies, I didn't mean include the projects here, but rather include links to the project posts here with updated post counts, etc. As opposed to the folks running the contest having to search them all out and compile.

[redbeard]

Apologies, I didn't mean include the projects here, but rather include links to the project posts here with updated post counts, etc. As opposed to the folks running the contest having to search them all out and compile.

I think Mike's reply to my question means that an edit or new post at the end of the contest is sufficient to make sure all the entries get counted, if there are any discrepancies, they can be handled at that time.

[zoama585]

We could just edit our entry post to include links to our project threads.

[everlastsupport]

Mark should have had each person do an enter post with count here to join, then have people post on the forum their projects and put links in the original post to the project threads. Can count and see it all from the same thread.

Idea for the next contest.

[bobwills]

O yeah. Got my 75 posts for the contests. Didnt think i could but they added up fast with some diligent forum checking and posting.

An idea for the next contest:
Instead of requiring seventy-five billion posts; Everlast could require "X" amount of projects (say 5-10 maybe) with less post requirements (like 20-30 over two months) instead. Each project would count as an "Entry" still. This will encourage us members to work on projects outside rather than sit here posting. Which is bothering the "long time standing members", who aren't used to this mega-buzz posting. I don't cotton to bothering fellow members...just so everyone knows where I stand. If we need a question answered or are answering a question, we post. I reckon that if my idea was compiled with those of others' suggestions you would end up with a contest everyone benefits from and enjoy's. :D


Thanks for reading,
I Love Plasma

[everlastsupport]

ILP, If you read back, this has been brought up a few times before, by even myself.

The posts generate traffic. So they help us a lot more than project, thought we all like projects.

It is hard for us in tech support to catch it all with all the traffic too. I have seen post days later where someone asked for help. I saw Mark with a "not sure how I missed this one" the other day, I missed it too.

But it all does help us out, so I am told.

[I_Love_Plasma]

Mike,

Yeah I've heard from Oleg. He loves the buzz contests create. But I don't see how some posts would really help the forum all that much. I mean me asking Bobwills how my welds look and "what I should do different" is somewhat redundant probably. Or I guess person specific tips, maybe this does help others, IDK.

ILP

[bobwills]

I think this helps some. And it really gets people involved in there website like its suspose to do so i think the contests are really good idea. Cause im like on for at least a hour every night reading everything from the day and trying to answer questions if i can.

I've noticed that there are usually just a handful of members on at any given time, but there always seems to be 50-100 guests. I wonder if they are just bots or a horde of lurkers. At any rate, I'm glad the contests are working out for Everlast and I do hope they continue.

there are a few google and msn bots out there, but a lot of them are lurkers, and few whose ip won't resolve.

How do I fill out signiture line? Thanks Mickey

At the top right of the page click on settings. Scroll down till you get to "edit signature" (left hand side).

[performance]

Mickey, if you are ever this way, stop by. I am in Fitzgerald GA.

[trickbiker]

A cup of coffee at a WH and I'm on my HD, you never know. I had my enclosed trailer build in Douglas, Ga at Diamond Trailers but the sales lady lives in Fitzgerald. Great country people up. ( If I uploaded my pix to the right area I have them in gallery. Look them up and tell me if there where they are supposed to be. Like I said before, I can get lost in an elevator, LOL. Mickey

[trickbiker]

Performance I was told you were the man to talk to about the contest. I have 79 posts but think I need to regester. Could you walk me through this. Still lost in Fl.

[performance]

Go to the first page of the thread and read the rules first. You have to follow the form given, as you can see from the guys posts above. But its not how many posts you have in total, but its how many posts you have from the time you make an official entry. Your post count starts then. You have to state whatever post count that you have when you post to make the entry official (plus follow the other guidelines).

[trickbiker]

I went to Facebook and and said I was entering the contest. Did I do this much right. Sorry to be a bother but I confuse myself by thinking too deep and hope I did right so far? Mickey ( As he rolls his eyes again ) LOL

There are numerous examples throughout this thread where other members have entered... I'm starting to feel like you're messing with us and were never serious about entering the contest.

Zoama 585, Brother if that was true I wouldn't have spent my time in short order placeing all those pictures up in the first place and excuse me for not being as good as you on the computer and understanding everything I'm told because I don't know that much. 2 weeks ago I didn't know what an Avatar , signature, do a "like" on the homepage, put in or start a thread etc was. That I've learned. I won't need to learn anymore friend. I'll not ask anymore questing about the contest, I've done my best but now I QUIT, don't need anyone tell me I'm messing with you guys. Who is zoama585 anyway

[performance]

Actually LIKE us is here at the top of the page. Click the like box. http://www.everlastgenerators.com/

But Mickey, please, I haven't thought that as many others. There are still things I don't know about our forum. If my father came to this site, he'd be no better (nor would his welding be much better after what I saw Sunday. :0)

I'm sorry it didn't work out... when you ask a question in one thread and don't respond to the help, then do more of the same it leaves people wondering. Click on your name beside your avatar and then click on view forum posts. This will show you all your posts... read back through them and maybe you'll understand my frustration. No hard feelings.

[everlastsupport]

Well to be quite honest, most weldors I deal with either have a girl friend with a computer that goes online for them, or a boss/foremen that does all the quotes/bids on one. So I do not find it odd Mickey is sort of new and lost to a high-tech V-bulletin form. It's obvious as he is all over the place and we move what I can.

So "I" could see where a weldor (new member that welds) on a welding forum would get on here and not know what an avatar is (I though that was a movie and I have never seen it myself), and a LIKE on facebook, etc. I think we sometime forget this is a welding forum. Also, some customers live in places where a computer is not the spare time machine. Those guys do not even try to enter.

If we are going to stick with "post counts are from when you joined in the contest thread" you better get busy from here with more posting, assuming your got everything filled out on the check list.

If we note you were/are a "new" member AFTER the contest started and exceeded in what we were looking for in the contest via post and projects, well that is another deal. But this will probably have to go to Oleg. I know Everlast has always been beyond fair in the contest.

[performance]

This is one of the areas we have been clear about. Its only fair to have the rules apply to all members for legal and other reasons.

[revkev6]

IMO the most organized way is to edit your contest entry to add all pertinent information. This makes it easier on the people running the contest as well as others joining to have examples.

[EmptyNester]

IMO the most organized way is to edit your contest entry to add all pertinent information. This makes it easier on the people running the contest as well as others joining to have examples.

But, if you edit your entry - there is no way to tell if you changed your starting post number.

[zoama585]

But, if you edit your entry - there is no way to tell if you changed your starting post number.

There should be records and it would take a sorry person to cheat, I'm sure they would be caught and dealt with.

[redbeard]

But, if you edit your entry - there is no way to tell if you changed your starting post number.

I had that exact thought myself. By the same token though, anybody who isn't starting at 0 could just fudge his beginning count too.


There should be records and it would take a sorry person to cheat, I'm sure they would be caught and dealt with.

I think it depends on how "Big Brothery" the forum software is as to what records there are, and judging by some of the content I've seen, I wouldn't put it past people to try.

[performance]

It would be helpful for people to follow up and state their fullfillment and sum up their projects with links so it would speed up the process, but I'd not recommend going back to edit. But again, its helpful to follow up,and not required to fulfill their obligation. It'll just make sure we get it right the first time.

[67cudafb]

Guess I screwed up I didn't go to this thread and put a starting count here figured software was tracking count from august 25 to october 25 for all members. Live and learn will read next contest little closer next time. Good Luck to all that did it right I will be watching from sideline.:(:(:(

[I_Love_Plasma]

tracking count from august 25 to october 25 for all members. Live and learn will read next contest little closer next time. Good Luck to all that did it right I will be watching from sideline.:(:(:(

I am almost positive that that's how they are counting it Otherwise it wouldn't be equal for everyone. I'm curious to see what Mark says, correct me if I'm mistaken Mods.

[performance]

No software does that for us. We ask you state your starting count. That's a fundamental part of qualification. Its dpne on gentleman's honor (and lady's honor). If something comes to light that it wasn't done appropriately, then we will have to disqualify of course. The winning drawing will be further scrutinized of course.

[Tritium]

Mark, My 2 qualifying entries (75 post and 1 project) are summarized in Post #5 of this thread. I am not counting the like on facebook that my sister was supposed to submit (I don't think it should qualify as a third entry since it was not me who "liked").

Thurmond

[Trip59]

I thought someone said to edit out post to update... I started on the forum in the middle of the contest and still didn't count the two posts before I started. At over a hundred today I think I'm fine either way (the first 75 were substantial posts, some since then have been short and probably wouldn't count) All my details are in Post 52 here, post counts, list of projects, etc.

[67cudafb]

I think I in don't knoe for sure. Will add project tomarrow if in well see.

If you are missing something you feel should have qualified, let me know privately via pm and state your case, and provide links. Although we tried to be generous, We did have to disqualify some projects, either for failure to even loosely conform to the guidelines, or for just not being a viable project at all, either in progress or completed. We did count friends and relatives "likes" though. So thanks again for all who participated. Winner should be announced shortly.

I thought I made cut Facebook 87post 1 project? ????

Cuda,
You didn't follow the rules. The post count is not for a TOTAL number of posts, but for the net number of posts you made AFTER you entered the contest until the contest date was over. You did not post a starting count when you started. Its all very clear in the directions. Nor did you post your project where or how we outlined.

Edit: I can't even find an official entry for you either. Please go to page one and read the directions, (when all else fails :) )

Good one Jason :)

you need to use in two separated purchases

[performance]

Jason, It would appear to be non stackable. Separate, in other words.

[redbeard]

Congrats zoama, and thanks to Oleg and the rest of the Everlast crew.

Is there a time limit on the coupon?

[DaveO]

Congrats, Zoama! Post up some pictures of the new gear!

Congrats Zomba! Thanks for the contest Oleg. This has been a lot of fun and the board, with the great members, are an excellent resource.

It's zoama... actualy it's suppose to be zao ma (morning greeting) in pinyin (chinese transcribed into roman characters) "zaoshang hao" (sounds like zow shang how) = good morning.

Guys, Oleg and I have been getting a lot of emails about the use of the coupons. We should have spelled this out, at the beginning, and explained the purchase rules for the discounts then...but...live and learn. So, instead of answering each one, I'll set out the use guidelines here.

1) Coupons aren't stackable. No, we cannot offer 90% off of a purchase.
2) 1 Coupon per purchase event please. As before, though, coupons are good, without expiration.
3) Coupons are good on one item only, not the entire purchase. I.E. If you buy a welder, water cooler and a plasma cutter, then it may only cover one item, not all three.
4) Coupon Purchases should be separated by at least 3 months.
5) A very, very few select items, may be exempt from coupon purchase such as the new US made foot pedal option, or an unreleased or special product available for preorder or special order only.

I think this is fair, and hopefully it will satisfy all inquiries.

[Tritium]

congrats zoama and thanks Oleg for a second coupon. Stack-ability would have been a dream (PT 250 EXT for $249.50 plus shipping:O) but I can certainly see why it can't be done.

Congradulations Zoama, are you going for the 250 EXT?

I was going to purchase the I-Power 200, but think that the 250 EX is looking appealing with the discount???

[zoama585]

Congradulations Zoama, are you going for the 250 EXT?

The 250 EXT looks like an awesome machine, but using the "green bucks" for a Power I-Mig 250P and a PowerPlasma 60 would be be better for me at this time.

[EmptyNester]

It's zoama... actualy it's suppose to be zao ma (morning greeting) in pinyin (chinese transcribed into roman characters) "zaoshang hao" (sounds like zow shang how) = good morning.

Sorry about that.

I had been in the woods and had to drive about half an hour to get a cell signal so I could see who won. I wanted to congratulate you but have a heck of a time with the tiny keyboard and the autocorrect on my phone.

I realized I have misspelled it, but knew it wouldn't go well trying to edit the post on the phone.

No worries, thanks.

[performance]

Zoama,

I'd be the first to tell you,having used the unit myself, you'd be better off putting your PP 256 up for sale and getting the 250ext. No comparison....absolutely none.

[zoama585]

I may do that later but right now I'm trying to get a side job going and I need a heavy duty mig welder.

[bobwills]

Congrast zoama on winning. And thanks oleg for the coupon guess ill be looking at getting a plasma next. Contest was really fun. I cant wait for the next one.

[sportbike]

Zoama,

I'd be the first to tell you,having used the unit myself, you'd be better off putting your PP 256 up for sale and getting the 250ext. No comparison....absolutely none.

So what makes the 250EXT so much better than the multi-process PP 256? To call it absolutely no comparison seems to state that the pp256 is a piece of crap. I'd hate to see what rep a pp205 or 226 would get....

Are the multi process units really that bad?

[Trip59]

Congrats all and thanks for the coupon offer, that's awesome of you guys.

[ogorir]

Thanks to Mark and Oleg and everyone else at Everlast for another great contest, and congrats to Zaoma for winning! Looking forward to the next one, I always like seeing what everyone else is up to and people post many more projects during contests :)

I think a plasma may be in my future with that 40% off coupon:)

[SeanMurphy265]

Thanks Everlast for the contest! I now have a 50% off coupon and 40% off coupon!

[mightyhammer]

Hey Mark, looks like I may be out for the contest. I have some personal reasons for no longer having a facebook account. I am new here, but have owned/used a everlast super 200P for the last 5 years. Thank you for this site I wish I would have found it earlier. I like the sounds of the 250 EXT, but I was really looking into the MTS 200s as I am in the market for a new mig welder and the 'ol 200 is not tig welding well at all lately. Are there special discount coupons that you offer from time to time? Hate to ask, but I am a gimpy disabled Marine veteran got banged up over there, and my income is tight. I make most of my scratch from welding and fabricating. Maybe someday down the line you will have another contest that doesnt require a social network account...lol Anyway, thanks again! Coop : )

[DaveO]

Hey, Coop, and welcome!

This contest actually ended in late October, and didn't require a facebook account-"Liking" on facebook was an extra entry in the contest, and the moderators were lenient about allowing a friend to Like on your behalf, for instance. The recent contests have worked by offering a grand prize such as the 250EXT in the last contest, or its equivalent in "green bucks" (cash equivalent you can spend on other Everlast products). So if you've got your eye on the MTS and you won this contest you could opt for the green bucks and get the MTS instead.

The contests have been a lot of fun, and have allowed extra entries for metalworking projects submitted during the contest. It's always interesting to see what the other members are doing.

What kind of welding and fabricating are you doing? And you might explore why the 200P is not working properly with tech support- this is the tech support forum, so you're in the right place.

DaveO

[mightyhammer]

Hey Dave, thanks for the response. I fabricate a variety of items for trucks, jeeps and i have been working on a lot of dirtbikes lately. I am currently in the process of modding a steel frame CR250 with a CR500 engine. I am also beginning on a newer aluminum frame CR250 with a 500 engine. I build 4 links for off road suspensions, bumpers and I have several buddies in the logging industr who always need something welded as you can well imagine. Thanks also for the input on the contest. I really need a new welder. To put it plainly, my 200p fluctuates current as you weld, with or without pedal. You'll be going along just fine and it will max amp and blow out or sometimes just drop all current and leave you cold. I am not a super tekky guy when it comes to diodes transistors and such, so I just deal with it, or did cuz I wasn't aware there was an awesome forum for us crazy Everlast die hards! I still am looking to purchase a new machine regardless and if I could get a discount on the MTS 200s, it would sure be nice :) Coop

[mightyhammer]

I will get some pics loaded up here real soon of the bikes I am workin on and maybe a few of my stealth 1 ton chevy mudder.

[mightyhammer]

Sorry to keep making new post with questions I could have asked earlier. Is there currently a contest going on? Last one I see appeared to end at the end of Oct. Correct me if I am wrong. Coop

[everlastsupport]

All contests are completed at this time. See the announcements thread (on the main forum page) for future contests. Sure there will be a new one soon.
