Igor Kheifets Is A Jackass 2 or Why You Should Never Use Software To Run Contests On Your Blog

in Contests

igor kheifets jackass3 weeks ago I announced the first ever $900 giveaway IgorHelpsYouSucceed contest. And here’s what happened:

  1. I installed a special software to keep track of the score board and help me pick 6 winners out of 295 people who joined.
  2. I also extended the contest for a week, because I made a fool of myself by accidentally entering the leader board and competing for one of my own prizes…
  3. This Sunday, when I logged into my contest running admin panel I was denied the access to the “Pick Winners” screen and now I can’t pick the winners…

Now what?

First, I would like to apologize to You for being a Jackass for the second time this month. I promise to make it up to you…

And to help me do it faster, please leave your comments expressing your thoughts on how can I make up for being a Jackass …again… Thanks!

Hi Igor
Well i suppose these things happen.

My way forward is to sort out the bugs with the script, and after that hold another contest and offfer double what you offered as the prevoius prize with the contest that went wrong.
Ayway just an idea.

Did you find out why this happened to the srcipt that t would not let you have acesss? I was thinling ot having a contest too. but if this still has bugs i might have to think again.

Thanks Barry :)

Thanks for the idea, Barry.

I looked into that, but I don’t know what’s wrong.

I used contest burner… anyone else got more ideas?

Thanks,
Igor
