dude, so unfair! Must be 18 or older for where I live (NJ). That’s so unfair! God… talk about unopen. They should make the minimum age 16, not 18. Then it makes everyone happy.

Seems kinda tedious to have to go through all those different hoops to get a chance to win. Your giveaway though Pirillo, so you make the rules.

Well, he does have a vested interest in there being content on Geeks! So naturally he’s going to do his best to compel us to produce it. This is a mighty sweet incentive. :D
Alas it ain’t gonna happen for me. :\

This is an awesome opportunity, but I haven’t been on Geeks that long, and I don’t think I can meet all the requirements by January 10. Good luck to the members who’ve been around for a while. Can’t wait to hear from the lucky winner about the trip!

Guys these requirements are great considering that the value of one of these flights is a few thousand dollars. I’m still not doing it though because i don’t have the time.
I can’t possibly make 10 posts right now with the time i have.

Chris, I hope you didn’t count my comment as negative. I think this is an awesome giveaway, and while there’s no way that I will qualify, I understand that you want to limit it to people who are, and have been, active on your site. I enter a lot of sweepstakes and contests. That’s one of my hobbies. In fact, I found this site because of the HP Magic Giveaway, and I like what I’ve seen, so I try to be a little more active on this one than on a lot of other sites that I join just to enter a contest. Sometime in the future, another company will give you a really awesome prize to give away, and maybe by then, I’ll have a lot more “credits” built up. That’s my advice to everyone who won’t qualify this time. Continue to be active on the site as much as you can, because there will very likely be a next time, and the odds on something like this — because of the restrictions — are terrific!
Please don’t let a few naysayers stop you from taking part in giveaways like this.
