A competition idea. by Nathan on 11-15-2006 at 07:44 PM
Hey,
I had an idea for who can get the most people to install MP!L.
So give a special link for a person and if they download it it adds "1" to the persons counter. And then we decide a winner at the end of a set period.
Who likes this idea?

Well, first of all, it would mean redirecting to the download file. I don't think Patchou will like that. Second, you would need to check for the downloading IP-address in the database before you can send the user his file, and that would slow down the download even more. Third, it would make the download counter of the Plus! site itself (you can't see it, but Patchou can check how many times his add-on is downloaded) useless, since most of the records will be caused by download link spammers.
I don't think it would be a good idea... and there already was such contest once with the 3.50 release [size=1](well, that one was official ).

Ahh, I see now why you didn't know:

Maybe a spot to enter the referer's username on the forums, and only people not having a an account on the forums can participate.
And, it should only be for a major edition, like 5.0 or somethin.
