You may have seen them recently or remember them from Jumpgate past. Plushy flux were all the rage and a part of Jumpgate lore. Now you can get one for free and at the same time help Joystick Required. What do I have to do you ask?

The answer is simple. Just keep posting here as you always have. We will be giving points out for posts based on certain criteria. We will also be giving points for registration referrals to JSR that participate in the community. Whoever has the most points at the end of the contest, and meets the minimum criteria, wins. It's that simple.

Now I know what you are thinking. But rest assured, no spammy fluffy posts will be counted and any crap will be deleted. And anyone who abuses the privledge of being in this contest will be removed from contention.

So if you have been holding back on those Jumpgate Evolution suggestions or have some thoughts on any other topic now is the time to act.

All posts must meet the rules of this site and be on topic to the forum posted in. If there is too much abuse then this will be the first and last contest. If it turns out good we will have more.

The rules do not mean the posts have to be complicated stuff. Your normal conversations on topics is fine.

Please use the report post button to report any obvious crap.

Bumping of very old threads is not allowed, so please, don't.

Should no one meet the minimum criteria then, well that would be sad now wouldn't it.

I have written a vBulletin add-on product to run this contest. I will be testing it and tweaking it during this contest. Once I work it all out the sale of this mod will help bring in new income to JSR.

Good luck.

Would a reply post that pointed out a spelling error, such as the one above, count even if in order to reach the 100 character minimum, a run-on sentence was employed?

[Jump]

No, in fact, this forum is not in the list.

[Jump]

Sorry I had to adjust the date. It begins tonight after midnight not the 18th.

[Veloxi]

Interesting contest buddy. Might actually get ME to post once in a while.

[Jump]

I have added a live action shot of the plushy flux in action.

For those of you in the EU and elsewhere, PDT is currently GMT -8.

space truckers!! denins hoppers best work

[Jump]

That's why it was -=MACK=-'s logo for all those years.

[Jump]

Either the fierce plushy scared everyone off or they are saving their posts till the contest begins.

We could use Jumpgate tutorials or Jumpgate fiction. There are lot's of things that members can contribute to make this a better site and have a chance at wining.

[Jump]

FYI this contest has begun.

Plushy!

[LadyDracoe]

Hehe, Hi Ekoo,

[Jump]

Off to a slow start I see. I must advice you all that if we don't find a home for this orphaned plushy it will have to be euthanized.

[Hornet]

NOOOOOO! Don't kill the plushy!!!! *cries*
