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.

threads asking to sway a skiing-related contest shouldn't be allowed ever

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.
