Google has changed, so this is pretty much not working anymore. Contest closed.

This is a contest always open for any Elfpacker to enter. You just have to create an interesting wiki-page that draws attention to Elfpack, and you can win donor-privileges (for you or to give away).



Rules


§1 The goal is to create an interesting wiki-page that makes non-Elfpackers come to Elfpack.

§2 The page should be somewhat "Elfpackish". That means that it should be fun, cool or just interesting for people who are likely to become Elfpackers. It must not contain any porn, racism or other unwanted stuff (Ask [Hedda] if you're unsure!).

§3 If your page has attracted approximately 1000 people to look at Elfpack, you'll get the prize of a donor-privilege for you or one that you can give away.

§4 The wiki-page must of course be exported, otherwise it can't be found by non-Elfpackers.

§5 [Hedda] will try to spot popular pages, but comment on this page to be sure. If you do and your page is good enough, you'll get some help to make it known.


Hints


Try to make a page about something that no one else has done a page about! Of course your page will be extremely popular if it's the best page about "sex", but it's very unlikely that you'll succeed in that. Here are some examples of pages that are successful:

www.linkmeet.com/_rydstider - It contains all the opening hours in a suburb of the town Linköping in Sweden. It gets about 5 hits a day, which would have given 1000 hits in only 200 days.

www.cathug.com/3 - It contains an image of Lilo having sex with Birk. It and it's subpages are getting 4000-8000 hits a day from Google's image-search. 

www.cathug.com/_cat%20names Contains a list of cat names. Gets 50 hits a week.

Scak gets 10 hits per day for some strange reason...

AC3 has a lot of photos that have generated some 133 hits from new people in a month.

Some other pages with over 10 hits per day:
http://elftown.eu/_Perverted%20Jokes
http://elftown.eu/_medieval%20ranks
http://elftown.eu/_eye%20tutorial
http://www.linkmeet.com/_fat (People are searching for "Fat people", "Italian guy" or "Finnish girl" in Google's image-search. The first will get unlucky though as "fat" here is "(beer) barrel(s)" in Swedish, not fat.)
http://www.writersco.com/_Canadian%20Agents

So there are many ways to make something useful and unique. Anything from lists of bands playing Emo Japanese Metal to a photo album of all the flowers you can find in the streets of Manhattan. If have something good about a few (2) very specific keywords, it can often be one of the best pages in the world about that particular subject.

More ideas: Describe your school with pictures. Or your village. Make sure to name the wiki-page well. Like for example Elfpack University Photos.

2007-03-01 [FireGypsy]: Ohh ^_^ I see

2007-03-01 [shinobi14]: I have to admit, its a good wiki, Sasha!

Not my tastes anyway... But good all the same. XD

2007-03-01 [FireGypsy]: I need to add more substance to it though lol!

2007-03-01 [shinobi14]: a bit more wouldn't go amiss, true.

But not much. Maybe some description of the engine... like on mine. >.< (i know you dont like it...)

2007-03-01 [FireGypsy]: Some dont come with a specific engine, some came with different ones. I would have to go research it all again.

2007-03-01 [shinobi14]: You mean you dont know your cars??

But thats true. Its weird with these silly american cars. >.<

2007-03-01 [FireGypsy]: No, it's just a matter or preference. Some people like big engines, some like small, such as in your case XD So the cars came with a few different sizes, and no, I havne't memorized all the engines that came with every muscle car lol!

2007-03-01 [shinobi14]: I guess im a geek then. XD

And my cars are small engined, your right. But they are as fast as your silly truck engined cars, and alot more economic ^___^

2007-03-01 [FireGypsy]: Truck engines? Not exactly ^_^ I just like 6-8 cylinders, they sound mean, look mean, and are very fast if you set them up right! Your cars sound like bumble bees =) and require computer mods and turbos/blowers to be fast.

2007-03-02 [shinobi14]: You can make any car sound like almost anything witrh the right exhaust... My bro's car (he is a chav) is a Vauxhall Nova, 1.1 Litre, but it sounds like a Ferrari! Thats because he spent loads on a new exhaust system.

Still crappy, though. XD

Nu-uh, they can be modded in so any different ways, engine upgrades, nitrous oxide, comp chips, plus tons of accesories like cool air intake systems and turbo chargers. XD

2007-03-02 [FireGypsy]: Exactly! In order to make a 4 cylinder fast, you NEED to upgrade the engine, buy $500 chips for the computer, but a $2000 nitrous kit, $2000 supercharger/turbe (and you need to rebuilt the engine for those) and so on. Whereas I can buy an 8 cylinder, put high compression pistons in it and a cam, and BAM! Just as good as a the 4 cylinder that you just invested over $6000 to make fast XD

2007-03-02 [shinobi14]: Not to mention the "looking good" side of it...

Muscle cars are ugly. Apart from the Shelby and the Ford GT.

And it is possible to spend that much money on a car, yeah, but with your gas-guzzling engines, you will have to pay the same amount as my mods as your petrol bill!! (you americans call this substance "gasoline", the hydrocarbon.

Petrol.

2007-03-02 [FireGypsy]: Dude, mustangs suck. And ALL muscle cars are BEAUTIFUL! And who the hell cares about gas!

2007-03-02 [shinobi14]: Beautiful???
Meh. You just insulted the pretty ones, dudette. ^___^

2007-03-03 [FireGypsy]: Not beauitful, beautiful!

2007-03-03 [shinobi14]: Thats what I said... >_> <_<

2007-03-03 [FireGypsy]: Not the first time ^_^

2007-03-03 [shinobi14]: *looks at first time*

Nope. Looks good to me! Lets get of this subject, shall we? XD

2007-03-03 [FireGypsy]: You little sneak! XD

2007-03-03 [shinobi14]: Maybe... Ill never tell. ;)

Snitch!!! lol

2008-09-24 [DeeJay™]: are all exported wikis entered into this by default? or would one have to declare their wiki beforehand?
