Review Contest!
on: November 20, 2008, 01:20:42 PM
Some time ago a very generous forum member sent me a brand new in the box Skeletool to give away, and it's been sitting here on my desk, waiting until I came up with a good enough contest to be worthy of it.  Well, I think I have a pretty fun idea, and I hope you will all think so too.

What we want is a review of whatever tool you want to review, whether it's been reviewed or not previously is immaterial.  Whatever tool you have handy will do.  Write about 300-500 words on what you think of it, maybe toss in some pictures and we'll let the members decide with a vote who should win it!



Post your reviews here, either as a reply to this thread, or in a new thread- any reviews dated from the 18th on to the 30th of November will be included.  And, just to give everyone a good head start on this one, let's leave it open until the end of November- that's a week and a half away, and we can start the voting on the first of December.

isn't it funny that it's only the topic-specific forums in which people are nice to you when you join :D
unlike those such as myspace (it really is just a big, fancy, all-topic forum site)
