dmwallace09 May 12, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Is it me or is "KurtisBertolami" a double winner with two copies of berry pop-up. how many does one person need? Guess I am a bitter loser :)
Kevin Michaluk May 12, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Fixed. Drew a new winner for the double winner (added it to bottom).
FYI...how we pick winners. We have a module built into our backend that for any given post will list all of the logged in commenters, and from there I can select how many winners I need (10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 etc) and it will pick them at random and spit them out to me.
From there I typically sort them alphabetically to ensure there's no duplicates and pick another winner in the case if there ever is (typically isn't an issue). Today I was just trying to get these up so skipped that step.
Congrats to all those who won again. And if you didn't, just stay tuned. More chances to win are coming soon.
wojtas25 May 12, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Sorry Kevin, but ur system isnt good. One user ("all4berry") won three copy's of BerryPopup, please tell me why? Im not jealous, but he/she dont need three copy's at all.
Congratz for all other winners.
Mathrin May 13, 2009 at 9:17 am
I don't think anybody would care if somebody won on two different contests. My concern was that there were so many that did. Example: BB Popup had 200 free and 2500 comments. So chance of winning is about 8%. Themes was 100 free and 900 comments. Chance of winning is about 11%. But the chance of winning both is less than 1%. And those are the ones with the greatest odds of winning two and everybody that posted on the themes contest also posted on the pop up contest.
So seeing one or maybe even two people win on two contests is pretty reasonable and I would think them very lucky, but seeing four should be fairly mathmatically impossible.
I am glad that you came back and clarified all the confusion and I love the site. I check it every morning and like to post when I feel it helps or I'm excited about something.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to all the great news coming down the line.
sessica May 12, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Yay finally won!! Crackberry is awesome!! I'm cracked out!!
Busta-B May 12, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Thanks Bellshare and Crackberry... Yeah!!! Now I can have this progam on my 8330 as well... I have it on my Bold currently, anxiously waiting for the email.
FRoStYisGoD May 12, 2009 at 1:09 pm
sweet I actually won a JC theme which are awesome but for some reason it says I won it twice? Don't know what's up with that but just letting u guys know so u can fix it if it is a mistake but winning 2 themes would be good to haha
Astrokid14 May 12, 2009 at 1:11 pm
WOOT I WON!! I've never won before!!!
CRACKBERRY IS AWESOME!
fantom1023 May 12, 2009 at 1:13 pm
How sweet is that??? Thanks to CB and to Kevin for the opportunity and for the awesome site! Congrats to all the winners as well. I cant wait to get my new theme. Now comes the hard part, picking one out, lol!! Thanks again and remember to keep Berrying everybody!!!!
cwhitney24 May 12, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I never win ANYTHING on this site. I have won stuff from pinstack.com, blackberryrocks.com, and berryreporter before they shut down.....grrrrrr o well congrats on the big number of people on the site.
lcfut May 12, 2009 at 1:14 pm
a simple expression of
USE [Crackberry_DB]
Select count(username)
From 'contest_entry_table'
anyone on that list with more than one entry should have been instantly disqualified - and not allowed to win 2 copies of a program.
people who just enter the words PICKME!!! and paste it in a hundred times into a contest entry post are rediculous.
PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO A POST. my six-year old can paste PICK ME a hundred times and she doesnt need a Blackberry Bold.
to all those who entered ONCE and won - congrats on your prize.
Moganus May 12, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Your 6-year old is smart.
wojtas25 May 12, 2009 at 2:13 pm
I agree with You. "all4berry" user won three copy's of BerryPopUp. He/She should share one of them with (me) others which not won!
moody6635 May 12, 2009 at 1:18 pm
i cant wait for another contest hopefully ill win....anyways congrats to all winners ecspecially the ones who won the bold = )
Jeffdc5 May 12, 2009 at 1:19 pm
got passed up again thanks anyway
A£aric May 12, 2009 at 1:21 pm

Better luck next time to the rest of us.

dpperk29#AC May 12, 2009 at 1:43 pm
holy cow, I won something! tweet genius ftw!
The_New_Dude May 12, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I do a name search and it brings me right to the "Post New Comment" section....
Ahhh one day, just one day i'll win something cool...
jay_man33 May 12, 2009 at 1:48 pm
First off, I did win - but here's my 2 cents.
1. One post per account - that'll stop the multiple waste of space
2. More than "pick me" - shows some thought/reason for wanting the device
3. 1 win per user within 30 days - there's more than enough users, some are doubling up in multiple contests, including a double winner in THIS one....raises concern of coercion.
Congrats to all single entry winners! This is my 10000 contest and I finally won, hang in there everybody!
Cheers!
Madirish76 May 12, 2009 at 1:48 pm
THANKS for the BERRY Pop Up...I cant wait to install this.
This just totally made my week!!!
Thanks Crackberry!!
dheser May 12, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Oh my...Guess i will never get the bold unless i fork over the cash....
Remember Kevin next time...dheser is the user name you want to typed under the Winners of the ultra cool new phone
Made_in_RIM May 12, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I finally won something. Thanks kevin and every addict on here! I will definitely use this.
wojtas25 May 12, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Pfft, its not fair! "all4bery" user won 3 copy's os BerrPopup!!! Theres no justice! :(
Moirethe May 12, 2009 at 2:16 pm
That's not right. How many times did "all4berry" comment in order to win that many times??? Whenever I enter, I only comment once, I thought there was some sort of disqualification process for multiple entries like other sites, obviously not :(
jeffreyd_tx#cb May 12, 2009 at 2:24 pm
There are multiple multiple winners:
all4berry 3
BrownDawg 2
boldguy3000 2
blile 2
hoho 2

SFEdward May 12, 2009 at 2:32 pm

Jay_eS_Iye May 12, 2009 at 2:33 pm
I searched the page for "Jay" hoping to see my name, and say Jeff2Jay and jay_man33 but no me...
Mathrin May 12, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Multiple winners of the same application? Won across two applications? And a couple won not twice but THREE TIMES?
This is absolutely pathetic. It would be nice to win a contest from time to time, but I don't have time to spam the comments hoping to win. I work 60 hour weeks as an engineer and I try to spend what's left of my free time with my girlfriend.
Had I known that Crackberry takes no effort in choosing winners, then I wouldn't have wasted my time making a post that was meaningful to the topic or keep checking back for the results (well I keep checking back anyway because I love the site).
all4berry won 3 times (Berry Popup x3)
blile won 2 times (Berry Popup x2)
boldguy3000 won 2 times (Berry Popup x2)
BrownDawg won 3 times (Berry Popup x2, JC Designs x1)
FRoStYisGoD won 2 times (JC Designs x2)
hoho won 2 times (Berry Popup x2)
LikeNoOther won 2 times (JC Designs x2)
Merschz won 2 times (JC Designs x1, Berry Popup x1)
RollinRiffin won 2 times (Berry Popup x1, JC Designs x1)
ronin2046 won 2 times (JC Designs x1, Tweet Genius x1)
paulmike3 May 12, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Send this in a PM to Kevin... That's seriously lame.
Kevin Michaluk May 12, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Just posted an update to the post above.
Will get some extra winners posted shortly.
Kevin Michaluk May 12, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Multiple winners removed. Doing a few extra draws to get more winners in.
FYI - it is NOT an error to win in more than one contest. People can enter every contest, and can therefore win in multiple contests. However, standard procedure is to remove multiple entries (only the first entry is kept), and then winners are drawn at random from there.
We did some tweaks to the code to add bigger drawings (used to be only 10, 15, or 25 and we needed to grow it to 50, 100, 200 but I guess broke something in there on eliminating the duplicate names). Will be all good moving ahead.
paulmike3 May 12, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Thanks for the fix and the clarification Kevin! :)
nymyth May 12, 2009 at 4:26 pm
You can give my copy away, seeing I just bought it yesterday. Makes no sense having 2 of them...lol....just my luck
b1gg134 May 13, 2009 at 6:52 am
However, standard procedure is to remove multiple entries (only the first entry is kept), and then winners are drawn at random from there.
Since these people cannot follow the rules set forth, all their entries should be removed. I mean if everyone else can follow the rules and only comment once why should the people who cannot follow the rules be allowed to have any entries at all
Mathrin May 13, 2009 at 9:05 am
I can't say that I agree with this statement. Not all comments are spam and people do respond back and forth on the comments section.
Why should somebody that is excited about an application and want to respond to people who are equally excited about it be penalized?
As for filtering out spammers is asking a lot as well. Some of these contests have a couple thousand comments and I'm sure Kevin is as busy as the rest of us and doesn't have time to go through and filter out people post by post.
So long as there is a way to filter out multiple entries, then I think that should be fair enough. So, it should be noted on the contests that only one entry will be counted. I don't think that has always been made clear and why there was so much frustration with these drawings.
12MaNy May 12, 2009 at 2:36 pm
I've been entering contest on this site for about a year now and I've never won a thing! I mean, C'mon......seriously?

I had already bought BerryPopUp awhile back. Let me know.
eleung321 May 12, 2009 at 4:28 pm
can we spam post comments to increase our chances of winning anything on this site??
Kevin Michaluk May 12, 2009 at 4:34 pm
on a normal contest, no. we remove duplicates (keep your first one) and the draws are at random from there.
HOWEVER..we MAY just hold a spam contest. just for fun. where more posts will increase your chance of winning.
:)
dsquared2 May 13, 2009 at 6:57 pm

i'll keep trying but this is taking forever to win something!
jmullin09 May 12, 2009 at 4:52 pm
So what exactly does it take to win? All it says is leave a comment. I figured it would be the first 200 commentors and i was around number 10? Granted, i didn't comment anything witty or that actually contributed to a discussion of the product, but maybe somewhere it would say that they will pick the best commentors to win?

I'm still without a berry. To the two winners of the Bold, would you mind giving it to me?
The thing I love about crackberry is that when they hold a contest, they announce the winner(s) the following week.

Okay, so this contest didn't go so well and flaws in the way competitions are run on the site have been highlighted and may be sorted.
Seriously though, if all it takes is a comment of 'pick me' then what good is that comment? All this site will become is a collection of people only posting when there's a competition. Of say 100,000 entries, only 1,000 may be true readers whereas the other 99,000 only come here when there's something to give away.
And, if the comments above are correct, posting anything multiple times WILL INCREASE your chances of winning. You should be doing the removal of multiple entries BEFORE doing the picking of usernames.
If I have a list of entries that looks like:
user 1
user 1
user 1
user 1
user 2
user 3
user 4
user 1
user 1
user 5
user 1
, based on my search script picks three, if I clear out multiples AFTER the search then user 1 still has a much greater chance of winning simply because it's much more likely that they'll get picked in the first round.
However if I include in my SQL search the DISTINCT keyword to create a list of users that I then pick from I can be sure that everyone only gets one bite of the cherry.
Just my 2p worth really. And no, I didn't win anything but hey, I'm not bitter. What goes around, comes around. :)

There should only be one entry per person. Due to the size of the giveaway, there ended up being a bug and we saw multiple winners which lead people to believe that you could enter multiple times.
And filtering out junk comments would be too laborious.
