It simply makes us proud that 99% of the time discussions went without any moderation, even when the amount of comments flying back and forth was considerably higher than usual with a nice mix of regular members and newcomers taking part on the conversations.
At the end of this announcement we'll also give a bit of details on an upcoming giveaway opening next week that will consist of something completely different than anything we've tried before, just so you don't get bored or feel bribed to voice in more often in our comments. Anyhow, what you wanted to know. And the winner is...
Congratulations JMMD!
With a total of 44 comments posted during our two week-long contest, you were randomly selected as the winner of the Acer Aspire Timeline 14" laptop. Please respond to our announcement email, so we can get the prize on its way soon.

To the rest of members who participated... Thank you again! Unfortunately we can't give prizes to everyone, but we can at least continue giving stuff away, so check out the teaser rules for our next one below.
A few stats...
- 5000+ news comments were made during the contest period
- 328 members participated
- 10.47 was the average number of posts made by contestants
- Over 25% of participants posted over 20 comments
- We lost count on how many members were disqualified or banned, but we recall there were at least 5 going either way
- The winner announcement was delayed by a week - we usually take no more than 3-4 days - because Julio (that's me) was away on well-deserved vacation
Our next giveaway
Our upcoming contest is going to be about wallpapers, that is, you putting together a cool TechSpot themed wallpaper that can be shared among your fellow TS readers, voted and rated by the community as well. But don't despair, Photoshop killer skills won't be needed since we won't be judging on professionalism but creativity, coolness, usability and even simplicity. We will provide you with a high-res TechSpot logo and badge that you can use, the rest will be up to you. Time to dust off those Paint skills you never knew you had and get to work.
Further details on this giveaway will be available next week when it's officially opened.

Congratulations JMMD and enjoy your computer.
TechSpot crew thanks for putting on this and the other contests.
I guess I'll have to "brush up" on my paint skills for the next contest.
Have a great day everyone...

Way to go JMMD! Do a little extra computing for the rest of us

Aww mann, I thought it was gonna be me :-(, or at least the rest of the 327 guys who didnt win. Ah well, get ready for a killer wallpaper that will knock your socks off :-). Congrats any way JMMD.

Congrats jmmd can't wait on the next competition!!

Congrats! That looks like a very cool laptop. Let us know what you think after you get to use it for a bit. I'd be interested to see a review by a user after say 3 months of use. We always see the first glance type reviews where they spend a month, a week or even less with the product then review it. But the real test of a product is what bugs you about it after 2 or 3 months of steady use.
I also have to say I was impressed with the quality of posts I saw. This community is a very good one, polite and well educated.

Congrats JMMD
I have a Acer laptop that I am sure is the exact model, and I LOVE IT. I did put a SSD to replace the HDD, which keeps it very cool in the lap.
You lucky man...

Gratz JMMD!
LOL..you really had to ban 5 people? People tend to be pretty moderate on these boards (unless we're talking about DRM and pirating
) - surprised to hear that. -
Congrats JMMD
Enjoy your new laptop

Congratulations JMMD! And thanks TechSpot for hosting this contest.

Staff
To be clear, the people weren't banned for being rowdy (at least not by me), but for trying to scam the contest or posting gibberish.
Congrats JMMD, and best of luck to everyone in the upcoming giveaway(s).
-
Grats! I hope you enjoy it.
-
Congrats man! Good for you JMMD!

Congratulations, JMMD! Enjoy your new laptop.
