The winners of our Jane’s Addiction contest
Oh yes, the end of another contest is here. Although I loved being able to have 3 first prize winners this time, this comes with some lame news as well. It looks as though one person might have put some time into trying to win without reading the rules. Nothing sucks more than having to disqualify a user, but if I don’t it would leave another user shafted. So please know that we here at HAH debated and discussed this endlessly. We did not make this discussion lightly and we know that there could be repercussions for us. So here is the deal…
The winners are “noneck”, “XTRMDave”, & “mcphranklee”. User “Metalgasm” is a user we wish could be a winner, but he is from Canada. Now of course we have no problem with our metal brothers and sisters way up north. They gave us Devin Townsend! Our rules however clearly state that “We are very sorry, but only winners from the United States are eligible due to legal reasons.” Now without going into some big debate on this, you have to understand that we are a very tiny company. We don’t have the funds to pay lawyers to find out what we can do over international borders and what we can’t. So we have to play it safe. However, I have an offer that I hope will make Metalgasm feel he is still welcome here at HAH. Get me your address and I will send you a small stack of cd’s to add to your collection. This is out of my own personal stash. Now this is not something I can do all the time, but I have a ton of cd’s and might feel presured into doing it whenever a user puts in the effort Metalgasm has. Cool? I hope so. The last thing I want is for our international users to feel unwelcome. We love you all. We just can’t afford to include you in any official contests. As you can probably tell, we feel pretty bad about that.
So the three winners mentioned above will be sent an email asking them to get us their snail mail address. As soon as we have that the packages will be sent out. A new contest will be launched soon as well. As always, if you have any idea on what prizes we should giveaway post them in the comments. The only rules for contests is that they be something very recently released, something a wide range of people will want, and something within our $100 per month prize budget. That’s a maximum! We have found that it doesn’t matter how much we spend on the prize. It only matters if we can figure out what you users want the most. So that is what we will try to do. Thanks everyone. Vote up the good stuff with the passion only Hard Rock, metal, and punk fans can!
