You know what? We like you. We talk at you all day about cell phones, gadgets, and awesome stuff from around the Internets, but we rarely get the chance to hear back from you. We want to fix that. That’s why we’re introducing our new running contest: Best Comment Ever. Each week, we’ll throw a prize up for grabs. One week, it might be an iTunes gift card; the next, it might be a fancy new cell phone. If you want to win, you’ve gotta comment.
Unlike many of our past contests, we’re not going to just blindly pick from comments at random. Each week we’re going to give the prize to the best comment left anywhere on the site, as determined by the CrunchGear/MobileCrunch staff. Maybe your comment is especially insightful, or it had us busting a gut laughing; if it stands out to us as particularly great, it has a chance.
You can read the full rules and details here.
This is an example of a comment highlighted as a potential winner, as noted by the star next to the timestamp. You can see all highlighted potential winners for each week here.
This is definitely the first time I hear about a Comment Contest, but I’m in. I always check the Mobile Crunch posts, and I will definitely will be placing comments :)
So… does this post also counts for the contest ?
No.
This (“No”) is an example of a comment that will always have my vote when voting time comes. Straight, to-the-point, and made me laugh.
hi N.D.
(a bit of feedback) your previous comments / posts on TPB and torrents were quite interesting / on the edge, but the last/die one is pretty pale IMHO
keep up the good work! :-)
See, I knew there was an upside to slacking off at work, while rambling about gadgets on random websites that run random contests that give out random rewards to random people who leave random comments about random stories for the random toys that catch our random attention.
that is a “random” comment :P
LOL.. your attempt to stand out by repeating the word “random” so many times didn’t get a star!
lmao! ..you should probably press Alt+F4 and do some work.
Can I get rewarded retroactively for the best comments I made on CrunchGear when they were still doing that weekly?
Yeah, sounds great – I have a comment: How do I get rid of that fucking Meebo chat bar fouling up all the crunch sites? It’s enough to make me stop going to your sites…
Not that I’m encouraging you to use AdBlock, but if you do, the string http://s.meebo.com/* should get rid of that bar.
Nicholas: I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you’ve won my Best Comment contest. The bad news is that the prize is only my gratitude. Thanks!!
LOL
the other version would be
N.D. you are the lucky winner of this exclusive watch collection. please send $20 to this bank account in Cayman’s to make sure you’re not a bot. don’t forget to add your postal address in the message.
the price is waiting for you, act fast !!
Earlier when nothing works for me I used to masturbate, and Now I put comments :P
I like commenting. and I like free stuff. not sure about these head phones that turn your teeth/tooth blue, but im a guy who likes to live on the wild side. prize me. :-)
neat contest btw, think it’ll be great for spawning some great user participation and interaction here at MC. :-)
Some say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. In this case it would seem that it is up his ass, your nose planted firmly enough up in there Chris?
p.s. Great contest idea! You guys rock!!!
Sounds great. Been slacking off with the commenting for a while, but this may indeed persuade me to begin again. Then again, Methinks my body is but the lees of my better being.
Now what is THAT from…
Sweeet.
Oh crap, that’s not going to be good enough is it?
Let me just say that “yall need to get a life”.
Pe@ce!
Next week you should give away new underwear ’cause I got so excited I just sh!t myself!
I would win but Kumparak keeps deleting my posts.
Back in the day we called this “Teh.Be$T.Kommenter.Evar” and the only “prize” was being recognized for busting JB’s balls all week…
