Ian Grose states....
"Yes, you are correct he didn't post on Seabreeze as quite a few people didn't. We figured not everyone would want give there contact details on the forum.

As was stated in the entry conditions:-

"...to be in the running for $1,000.Register your suggestion for a new name by emailing to [email protected]....

WindForce"

Ian, you left something out of your quote.

LIKE!
How do I enter?
1. Post your ideas on this thread.

That's right ..THE VERY FIRST CONDITION OF ENTRY!

Given that the name Windforce WAS posted by Slowboat (Chris Lockwood)on the 6/6/2006 (windsurfing mirror post)I think it is a bit rich to give it to someone who has never posted on Seabreeze let alone on that thread. It lacks any semblance of transparency. How do we know
that Erlend is not a mate or perhaps even a fictitious character. Even assuming he does exist and assuming he isn't a mate (which only you know)how do we know he didn't just rip-off a name that he had already seen posted on this thread (as you required). Maybe that's why he didn't post. The reason you gave doesn't wash as "erland " posted his first post after "winning" the comp with someone else's posted suggestion.

The comp for the name was a nice idea... but the way you carried it out sucks.

Yoyo,

Sorry you are not happy with the results of the competition.

Maybe next time we want to run a competition we get a solicitor and auditor to ensure it is all run correctly and have a prize of $1.00 as we spent the other $999 on fees.

As I wrote the conditions it may not be perfectly clear, here is a copy.
How do I enter?
1. Post your ideas on this thread. Then to be in the running for $1,000.Register your suggestion for a new name by emailing to [email protected] include your name, mobile number, email address and of course your suggested shop name.

Please note it is a request to post on Seabreeze then a requirement to email entry. Also please note red highlights.

3.If more than one person submits the winning name, the first one submitted to the above email address wins.

Condition 3 is pretty black and white and this is how we choose the winner.

I certainly had no idea who Erland was until I rang him last week and I was stoked to find out he is a Uni student who lives in Perth and is in need of some new gear but didn't have the $$.

Certainly the competition has been run with all of the right intentions.

Thanking you,

Ian Grose

I find nothing wrong with what Ian and his team did, good on him it was a great advertising tool & you know what ? it's worked for him, we all know what and where his new shop is !

To all those who bitched about it, jeeze all you do is give other business's more reason not to do what Ian and his team have done, which at the end of the day phuks the lot of you.

Waveslave, come on mate... $1000 realy equals $500 worth of stock and cheap advertising, mate do you even know how much it costs to advertise with "Seabreeze" per month ?, I do and it aint cheap (no offence loz) but in saying that it's the best forum in OZ...

Good luck with your third store Ian... G-force, Airborne & Windforce, how many of you in Perth can say that

Exactly how old are you? You're acting like a 12 year old girl. Just get over it mate! I hope you appreciate that there is more to life...

Hi,

I have been away for a while, that’s why I haven’t posted again on this thread.

Well, Just want to clarify why you didn’t see any post on this forum with my suggestions. I got my username for this forum last year, but hadn’t used it sins. The day I entered the comp, I tried to log in to the forum to copy and paste the e-mail I wrote with my suggestions, but I could not find my password. I had another look at the rules and as the rules where explaining, I did not have to enter my suggestions on the forum (this is the way I understood the rules and the way that the owner of WindForce ment).

Because, I had two exams the next upcoming days, I did not feel like spending time getting the password at this stage. When the exam period was finish I didn’t remember to post my suggestions.

The only reason why I am stating this is because I feel the owner of the shop has got a lot of unnecessarily posts on this forum. I feel he deserve this post from me with my version.

When is the opening day of WindForce by the way?
