Hey man i gotta ask a big favor.
Could you help me win this contest by "liking" my photo on facebook?


First you gotta like Grouse Park ( you can unlike it after you like my photo if you so choose )
http://www.facebook.com/grousepark

Then you can like my photo :

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=324141&id=54409896928#!/photo.php?fbid=10150137887336929&set=a.10150137886806929.324141.54409896928

Already gave you some +K regardless or you do it or not.
Thanks again if you dPr



This pissed me off. I saw your TWO threads:
https://newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/593805/
https://newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/594304/
and I didnt want to do it. Dont PM me about it. Im sure a bunch of you got this too. Youre trying too hard. Let your photo win the contest for you, its good enough. I think that this should be treated just as equally as spam because its just as annoying. Thoughts?

inb4 you mad?

It should be considered spam because it is spam.

i sway if it doesn't requiring registering or signing in, if it's actually deserving, and if the person doesn't spam the hell out it through 24 bumps a day and PMs

I decided instead of only doing some to just not do any, fair right? Like on fb, i just don't tell anyone happy birthday instead of just some, its fair.

But guys , it's actually for a good cause, if by pressing one or two buttons, I can make a fellow NSer win some money, travel or ski gear, I would love too. NS is a big family and it's nice when we all help each other out. Reading the pm must have took you, I don't know 5 seconds? And you made a thread about it, you should have PMed him instead.
