A statement and a contest.
On either tuesday or wednesday, I will deposit some money in my bank and as soon as it shows up, I will purchase myself a team membership here. I finally have a little money, so I'll pony up and contribute.
Now, I tried to have a contest for a previous landmark, but nobody bothered replying. So, we'll try again. The rules are as follows:
Send me (the address is MagKnightX(at)gmail(dot)com) or post in this thread an essay of a maximum of 3600 characters (no minimum) detailing what you would do with $3600 dollars. The most creative, funniest, or best use will get awarded the prize of something related to 3600. It could be 3600 of some currency, 3600 millimeters of wire, a piece of artwork centering around the number 3600, or anything. The catch is, I decide. It will be worth more than a dollar (based on materials cost and average fees for creating such a thing, or the actual value of the object), but I will find the prize and send it to the winner.
C'mon, I'm trying to give something away for free here. What have you got to lose?
Edit: contest opens immediately, contest closes at 1357 EST April 9
