First Post...
I'm a long time member/founder of labusas.org. A cool bike site, however the Moto GP following is not as core as you have here. My day Job is working for voxpop.tv, we make popular culture games. Last week I pitched a Moto GP game to the CEO's. To my excitement they went for it! We have over 100,000 users but only 20 of them know a thing about Moto GP. Most of them are Movie and Fashion fans. The Game is simple enough, Just drag the racers into the positions you predict them to finish. There is a $30 amazon gift card every week for the player with the closest prediction to the actual outcome. The game will continue until the season is over, the Leader-Board contains each weeks results plus the overall results. (First scored round will be post Germany) Here is the link to the game. http://www.voxpop.tv/play/xrta1614000 If the admin here likes it, it's super easy to embed in any page so it can live under a "powerSlide.net" header. If you are into it I can supply you with the snip-bit of code to make it happen. I hope you guys like it! - GoBig |

Here is the link to the game. http://www.voxpop.tv/play/xrta1614000 I hope you guys like it! - GoBig Hello and good bye..........spamer!!! -------------------- [size="1"] I'm old and I'm not happy. Everything today is improved and I don't like it. I hate it! In my day we didn't have hair dryers. If you wanted to blow dry your hair you stood outside during a hurricane. Your hair was dry but you had a sharp piece of wood driven clear through your skull and that's the way it was and you liked it! You loved it. Whoopee, I'm a human head-kabob. We didn't have Manoxidol and Hair Wings, in my day if your hair started falling out when you were 16 by 19 you were a bald freak. There was nothing you could do about it. Children would spit at you and nobody would mate with you so you couldn't pass on your disgusting baldness genes. You were a public menace, a crome dome by age 20 and that's the way it was and we liked it! We loved it. Hallelujiah look at me, I'm a bald freak oh happy day! Not like today, everybody feeling good about themselves. I hate it! In my day we didn't have these thin laytex condoms. So you could enjoy sexual pleasure. In my day there was only one kind of condom. You took a rabbit skin and wrapped around your privates and tied it off with a bungee cord and you couldn't feel nothing! And half the time you didn't even know your partner was there. And we used the same one over and over again! 'Cause we were ignorant morons! Just a bunch of hairless, head-kabobs standing around with rabbit skins on our dinks and that's the way we liked it! [/size]

 SpAm I'm actually excited about this game since I build it I wanted to share it with other who may have the same interest. I would have to say I did spam your site, however it was very deliberate. I'm also here to back up my post and offer support... I'm not going anywhere. |

Believe me I know. As I said I'm the founder of another forum. I was hoping we had some common members so I would not have to make a first post with an external link. Good Idea about contacting the admin, thanks. I think I was overzealous to get this out. |

Round One (for the game) Results:
1. January1981 : 93 points 2. storm5 : 91 points 3. edelz : 89 points That rounds out the top 100 of 464 participants!!! Looks like we had 921 play but more then half opted not to sign-up or forgot to submit picks. Prity good conversion. If you play the next round, please submit your picks. I hope you guys placed well, please forgive my unfamiliarity with all of you at this point. Get your picks in before 07/19/2008 @ 8m est for Laguna Seca, You can still win a round and can climb the overall leaderboard. Thanks for Playing same old link for all the rounds and results |

BEN,
What did you have in mind for a link back? We have an area for expert opinions on each rider. If you are someone here would like to say a few smart words about one or more riders in the game I'd love to ad an in-game link next to the opinion. Otherwise, maybe I could develop a rotating banner for the few sites that are participating: Yours, My Site (labusas.org ), motogpboards dot com (not much play), bikeland dot org, and rideOnTwoWheels. The game is going fairly well and I appreciate placing this thread back on line. |
