This is an announcement of the winners for my August 2008 Contest (Winning 3 Doman Name + Web Hosting for one whole year)!
Without further ado, the winners are….. *drum rolls*
The winners (for the free domain name + hosting):
- Feabionsu (If you’ve been following my blog, I guess you all must have already guessed this lol) wins the hosting plan from LunarPages.
- Rjani, wins the hosting plan from Hightek Hosting.
- Yan, wins the hosting plan from Think411.
- Wiehanne - 2 weeks of free advertising on my blog (and I’ll give you a bonus of 1000 EntrecardCredits for being active “behind my back” - stumbling my posts and giving me good traffic from your contest post
)
Congratulations guys!
My deepest gratitude goes especially to Feabionsu who has put TREMENDOUS efforts in this contest (read his comments on what he has done on the first contest post). I believe it’s not just I that have noticed him on this blog, but also my other fellow readers. I can’t simply thank you enough and I just wish that I can give you something more than the prize 
You have also taught me what hard work actually means in marketing your blog. There’s no point in having good contents if people don’t know about them. I like people with strong determination and conviction. You are one of them 
I said that I have reserved a prize for a special friend and that is you, buddy.
Same gratitude goes to Rjani. I guess he’s on his school camp by the time of this announcement lol He has also put a lot of effort in spreading the contest and making himself noticeable on my blog. I’m sure he’s also motivated by Feabionsu throughout the contest and I’d like to thank you too for all the efforts, especially on Yahoo Answers, spreading the news.
As for Yan, although you thought that your effort is probably nothing compared to these 2 guys, you have actually given continual support to this blog (even before there was a contest). During the contest, you had good interactions with these 2 guys and it didn’t go unnoticed. Having a loyal reader interacting with other readers on my blog is a lovely thing to do and shouldn’t go unrewarded.
As for Wiehanne, I’m sorry that the last prize may look puny compared to other main prizes 
Hope the extra 1000 EC helps.
Congrats again to the four of you. I really hope that I’ll still see you around after the contest. I will contact each of you personally to give and discuss further with the prizes.
For the other participants/contestants, thank you so much for your effort and participation. Unfortunately these guys have surpassed you throughout the contest. I hope that during your subscription to my posts, your love has grown for this blog and I’m surely hoped that you will still stay subscribed after this. Or at least, drop by every now and then to my blog.
Of course, last but not least, thank you for the sponsors, especially to Lunarpages, think411, and Hightek Hosting. This contest wouldn’t be big if not without you guys!
Thanks again and looking forward in organizing the next contest

HOORAY!!!! Thank you so much Michael! I could rant and rant on and on and make this post of happiness as long as one of my “advertising scoops”, but unfortunately, I have to go somewhere and not be late, so I hope you’ll excuse me for now!
(I’ll come back later to rant on and on, don’t worry!)
P.S. Of course I’ll come back and visit this blog! I’ll probably unsubscribe from the email subscription though, since it’s kinda annoying to get a message of a new blog post when you read it 10 hours before in the very morning. So I’ll just stick to keeping you on my Bookmarks Toolbar! xD
EDIT: Darn, I misspelled my username after I deleted my history! “Feabioinsu”?! Well, just keep in mind people, it’s Feabionsu!

Happy weekend!

WOW! Yesterday I came back from the camp and my first ( OK, third actually, because I had a shower and a big meal that I missed so much during my trip :)) thing was to check how the contest is going, and you can’t imagine how happy I was when I saw my name among the winners, but I was too tired to reply then, and I slept till now
So thank you very much Michael! Don’t worry, the domain will be in good use
And as I said before, I’ll visit your blog in the future too, I’ve learned a lot here and I’m looking forward to the upcoming posts.
Oh, and congrats to the other winners as well, I’m very curious now what you’re gonna do with yours Feabioinsu
Let me know when you launch your site!
I will Rjani! And let me know too when you launch your blog or whatever that it is you’re planning to do with your domain!
This didn’t come nearly as much a suprise to me as it did to you, because I didn’t go to any camps and always had access to the computer, but also because Michael told me through Plurk that he was going to announce the winners in “8 to 9 hours”.
Well, it was late then for me, so I had to go to sleep, but the next morning, the very first thing I did was to rush to the computer and click on this blog’s bookmark in my Favorites!
And then of course I had to click the “read more” link, since Michael would never tell us the winners in the preview! xD
So yes, the announcement of the winners for that day didn’t come to me as a suprise cause Michael told me he would post them in some 8 hours, but of course, the actual winners themselves - that I didn’t know, and was really excited to find out!
I actually think it worked out perfectly. Seeing how much work me and you, Rjani, did; I was pretty sure that both of us would win /one/ out of the three domains - after all, we even got the two highest places on Commentator of the Month! But as to who the third winner would be, I had no clue whatsoever, if it was my choice!
When I saw Michael’s decision however, I was really happy with it! Yan desevers the third domain name one hundred percent! He did support us both and interact with all of the loyal readers of this blog plenty of times, and like Michael said “that shouldn’t go unrewarded”.
Michael even said a while back that “The three of you [Feabionsu, Rjani, and Yan] should form a group or something with me. Seems that the four of us can be great friends!” So it kind of fits now that each of us got a domain name, hey? And I’m sure we could be great friends…
Feabioinsus last blog post..Two free domain names? I’m sorry, I meant THREE!
Congrats to Feabionsu and Rjani! You guys deserve it for being ever so prominence throughout the contest. Feabionsu, you are a great writer and I hope you really make good use of your talent with your new domain and Rjani! you comes close to being one too.
You guys are the most energetic and excited contestants in any contest I have came across so far. I wonder how high you guys will jump when the prize is more than just a domain name.
Speaking on Mike’s behalf, I hope I’ll see more of you guys around here and contribute towards the discussion even long after the contest.
Anyway, I’m lining up for the roll call so when you guys think it’s the time, you know where to find me.
Cheers
Yan

“And I’m sure we could be great friends…” - that’s for sure! I love you all
To be honest, I tought Yan will be the third one, for me at least, I’d choose him too, cause his comments were great, he was everywhere on the blog too, often very motivating for me, so I really liked what he did here.
And I found the commentator of the month section a great idea, I’ve never seen it on other blogs, but I’ll steal it and use it on mine as well for sure
xD I agree with everything that each of you said!
I’m only replying now to let Michael know that I send a reply to his email, so that he check his email as soon as possible! Hope you’re reading these comments Michael!

Congrats for the winners~! Thanks Michael, you are fast in distributing the prizes. I’ve received the 1,000 ec.
No worry, I’ll come back here!
wiehannes last blog post..Chikai’s birthday game
Yup. All prizes have been taken care of. The sponsors should contact you directly (I’ve given them your email addresses as agreed upon :D)
Rjani: I thought the top commentator’s plug-in is everywhere around the blogosphere hehe
To all, don’t forget to let me know once your new blog or site is running
Well, maybe I didn’t notice it, or it’s because I read only bigger blogs that don’t use this feature…
Who’s the lucky guy? Congratulations!
