    Honestly, how poor do you have to be in order to be a "contest whore?"

    I'm looking through contest threads and 100s of guys in there are posting like tweekers trying to get a couple of bucks. It made me think about how broke you really have to be to spend DAYS trying to win $50.

    You contest dudes should learn the trade and spend your time making sites. You'd made more money.

    I think a lot of them are from third world countries where $50 is more than an average person makes a month.

      I made a post in one of those one day making fun of the people posting...

      And I won $50 somehow. Guess it's worth someones time.

      How broke do those thai girls have to be to be sucking your dick for money? ;)

        contests are fun specially when you have an extra time to join, win or lose you can show your talent to other prospect clients who might need your design services. just my 2 cents.
        $3 banner? That's fucking insane!

            if you run a contest you will see that the pros win more than once, so they are earning $xxx in many cases

              contests used to be fun, so beside increasing your post count and having opportunity to gain some cash, you could have some fun too... now days it's just bumpin' for cash and nothing more...

                Um I hope you are thinking about legitimate design contest threads and not the same keyboard masturbation of typing bump it up, to the top threads.

                  Yeah maybe, but there is minimum payouts, so how exactly do they get cashed out without actually promoting that program?

                        No there rarely is not. Even if there is, just win more than once with same company and walla you have reached the minimum payout. Typically though it is just free money that will be paid out to keep the damn thread at the top of the board.
