CrackBerry Contest Winners Announced!!!!!

on 12 May 2009 12:02 PM

w00t!!! Time to announce a whack load CrackBerry contest winners! Be sure to click through and take a look below to see if you're one of the lucky winners.

And if you did win, be sure to read our special note to you. BIG Congrats to the winners, and BIG Thanks to our contest sponsors!

* Update - had a little glitch with our randomized drawing system that picked a couple duplicate winners (didn't exclude any multiple entries as it should). Will redraw some extra copies on those and post below as well. Won't happen again. Anybody who complained in the comments will never win a future contest though (I kid, I kid!! Lots more freebies coming up!). *

Posted by dmwallace09 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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 :)

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by Mathrin Wednesday, May 13, 2009 1106 days ago

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.

Posted by sessica Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Yay finally won!! Crackberry is awesome!! I'm cracked out!!

Posted by Busta-B Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by FRoStYisGoD Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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

Posted by Astrokid14 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

WOOT I WON!! I've never won before!!!
CRACKBERRY IS AWESOME!

Posted by fantom1023 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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!!!!

Posted by cwhitney24 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by lcfut Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by Moganus Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Your 6-year old is smart.

Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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!

Posted by moody6635 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

i cant wait for another contest hopefully ill win....anyways congrats to all winners ecspecially the ones who won the bold = )

Posted by Jeffdc5 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

got passed up again thanks anyway

Posted by A£aric Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Congrats to all the winners...

Better luck next time to the rest of us.

Posted by ApertureMemory Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

My first contest and i win something =D Hooray TWEET GENIUS!

Posted by sassydame Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Winning = heart failure.

Posted by dpperk29 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

holy cow, I won something! tweet genius ftw!

Posted by The_New_Dude Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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...

Posted by jay_man33 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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!

Posted by madirish76 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

THANKS for the BERRY Pop Up...I cant wait to install this.
This just totally made my week!!!

Thanks Crackberry!!

Posted by dheser Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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

Posted by Made_in_RIM Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

I finally won something. Thanks kevin and every addict on here! I will definitely use this.

Posted by wojtas25 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Pfft, its not fair! "all4bery" user won 3 copy's os BerrPopup!!! Theres no justice! :(

Posted by Moirethe Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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 :(

Posted by jeffreyd_tx Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

There are multiple multiple winners:
all4berry 3
BrownDawg 2
boldguy3000 2
blile 2
hoho 2

Posted by maxcrowley Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

I wish I won

Posted by SFEdward Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

I won I won yesss! yessss!

Posted by Jay_eS_Iye Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

I searched the page for "Jay" hoping to see my name, and say Jeff2Jay and jay_man33 but no me...

Posted by Mathrin Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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)

Posted by paulmike3 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Send this in a PM to Kevin... That's seriously lame.

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Just posted an update to the post above.

Will get some extra winners posted shortly.

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by paulmike3 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Thanks for the fix and the clarification Kevin! :)

Posted by nymyth Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

You can give my copy away, seeing I just bought it yesterday. Makes no sense having 2 of them...lol....just my luck

Posted by b1gg134 Wednesday, May 13, 2009 1106 days ago

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

Posted by Mathrin Wednesday, May 13, 2009 1106 days ago

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.

Posted by 12MaNy Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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?

Glad they are going to fix the problem! Still have a chance of winning.

Posted by gk527 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

I had already bought BerryPopUp awhile back. Let me know.

Posted by eleung321 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

can we spam post comments to increase our chances of winning anything on this site??

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

Posted by dsquared2 Wednesday, May 13, 2009 1106 days ago

emails tomorrow/friday?

Posted by njnets21 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

i'll keep trying but this is taking forever to win something!

Posted by jmullin09 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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?

Posted by ManSquared Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

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.

yE-A-uH!

Posted by y0us3f Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

congrats to everyone who won !! :)

Posted by levelm Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Wow I wish I knew before hand you guys used a RDS for picking winners. All my time wasted writing such astounding, clever responses when all I had to do was write "PICK ME PICK ME!!" Well atleast now I know. =(

Posted by JSR7 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1107 days ago

Wow, I actually won a copy of Berry Popup. Thanks CrackBerry!

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. :)

Posted by Mathrin Wednesday, May 13, 2009 1106 days ago

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.
