TechPowerUp Forums Rewards—Win Steam Gift Cards Every Week & Every Month

That's really nice of TPU. Though I can see this becoming a nightmare for moderators.
 
well, I'm mostly here for the news and the GPU Database. I'm good at data analysis but when it comes to modifying or tinkering ... well there are more knowledgeable people here than me. maybe i'll write more in articles that interest me.
 
I've got nothing on-topic to say. So I'll mention it's goodnight time for me here but the acid reflux in my stomach is making my life miserable right now. Shouldn't have eaten that chanchur in the evening, fml.
 
That's nice i guess.

I don't always post, but when I do, I like to be rewarded. :laugh:
 
i want deathloop so that would be awesome, missing 32€
 
Fascinated by the behavioural dynamics this will drive, ie. before average post count on the forum, after average post count on the forum, before average new members per week, after average new members per week.
 
Does commenting to this news post count as a valid post? :p
 
This is why I have been a forum member here for years. You guys always try to give back to the users who make this community great. I won a power supply here back in like 2009 I think? Ever since then, I have always kept techpowerup as my home page. I don't post a lot, but this is making me want to be more engaged here again.

Yes it does, for reviews, too. I still have to add code so that the first post in a news thread (by the news posters) isn't counted

I guess my signature "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear..." is going to a stone on my foot, in this case :wtf:

Don't be a gator--all mouth and no ears!
 
I hope this doesn't backfire and create a lot of spam or low quality posts

so do i! on my side i try to only post when i have something to post (aka no meaningless spam) or when a thread interest me or hit "close to home".
 
I believe I'm the 1st winner.:clap::lovetpu:
 
I managed to win twice, and it's not even rigged!

A lot of effort went into making sure people who spam posts wont get any extra benefit, the main key is being an active user - not a post spammer.
 
And for those without a Steam account and don't wish to have one?

paypal is an alternative, w1zz is open to suggestions - we just dont want it to be plain cash as that can set off weird alarm bells with various banks and so on (or cause huge delays and difficulties in sending out rewards)

There was a thread on this for a while with all the testing, info and feedback - it's just gone onto the news feed now, as it's been working out well
 
nice but a post can contain only a smiley to be counted... :laugh:
 
Another factor that should be considered is the length of the post. Some users put in a lot of effort to write long and detailed guides that are spaced far apart and should be rewarded for that. Could and should the character length of the post somehow be included in the final tally?

Correct, and if we see you're only posting smileys, you'll be excluded from this system :laugh:
 
Just found out about this. Interesting way to increase actual active participation. I guess I'll just continue to read, and respond when I can add something to the conversation. Thanks again for the heads up.
 
Nicely done @W1zzard and TPU staff for getting this going, this is my go to site for years and now we get rewards :)

Edit: is there any way to view previous winners?

Yeah, go to the rewards stats page, there's a dropdown under week/month that lets you select previous date ranges
