Not to mention that 90% of customers don't even know what a forum is. So have all winners claimed their prizes?

Keep trying :P

Ok first of all it was a joke, lighten up folks.

Second of all, the legality of setting up contests is complicated like what you're describing, not to mention unfair.  Being a forum member does not equal being an EVGA customer.  I would guess 90% of EVGA customers never visit our forums.  You are all complaining like you didn't have a chance to win, everyone had the same chance.  It's how all of our promotions are, I'm not sure why everyone complains.  We have promotions all the time, hang around long enough and you'll win one.

But i would say that the vast majority of member are multiple time customers. I for one have 11 eVGA products and the reason I kept buying evga was the support and value i got with the product. I can understand all the legal mumbo jumbo of a contest but as long as it's stated the the promoter can set the ground rules. Don't think I am just picking at evga for this, I think all contest or lotteries should have firm but fair rules. but to see time and time again the one hitters winning contest is a little frustrating. I mean do you even have to own even one product to enter these?

No, and again it would be illegal to require a purchase to enter a giveaway in most states and countries - remember our promotions are international.  Read up on it and you'll understand our position.

yeah I know the whole "no purchase necessary to enter law". you got to love the joker that come up with that one.
