Ian Grose states....
"Yes, you are correct he didn't post on Seabreeze as quite a few people didn't. We figured not everyone would want give there contact details on the forum.

As was stated in the entry conditions:-

Ian, you left something out of your quote.

LIKE!
How do I enter?
1. Post your ideas on this thread.

That's right ..THE VERY FIRST CONDITION OF ENTRY!

Given that the name Windforce WAS posted by Slowboat (Chris Lockwood)on the 6/6/2006 (windsurfing mirror post)I think it is a bit rich to give it to someone who has never posted on Seabreeze let alone on that thread. It lacks any semblance of transparency. How do we know
that Erlend is not a mate or perhaps even a fictitious character. Even assuming he does exist and assuming he isn't a mate (which only you know)how do we know he didn't just rip-off a name that he had already seen posted on this thread (as you required). Maybe that's why he didn't post. The reason you gave doesn't wash as "erland " posted his first post after "winning" the comp with someone else's posted suggestion.

The comp for the name was a nice idea... but the way you carried it out sucks.

Dear Windfarce,

It seems pretty clear to me.
You disregarded your own competition rules.

Rule No.1
Post your ideas on this THREAD, then register by emailing........
(So we can scam a mailing list).

The 'winner' did not complete Rule No.1
Your lame explanation of 'requesting' seabreeze posts and 'required' emailing is wishy-washy, mate.

But the whole thing is dodgey.
That first-poster Erland thing comes across as suss (even if it is genuine).
Windfarce, you milked the pimp-fest for way too long.
That's called greed.
But the competition idea was a good one, but you ****ed-up man.

More dodgey stuff ???
Check the short list as follows:

1.Windforce
2.Addicted 2 Wind
3.Totally Board
4.Wind Toys
5.WA Windsports
6.Wind Suppy
7.Australian Windsports

Now check the above quote by Windfarce showing Rule No.5
Why is the name Australian Windsports presented in the short list as a new name suggestion ?
"Now you can see why we need another name"
(or WA Windsports for that matter, it's nearly the same.)

Am I missing something ????????

chill dudes I didn't send an email. It was a clear as clear rule of the competition. Give the guys a break- they put up a $G of goodies which is a great prize and great for the sport(s). More than most of the other shops would ever do... and in the end it sounds like the prize went in a worthy direction. Congratulations Erland- as long as you aren't a kiter

Boo Hoo ,I didn't win the competition, now I'm gonna say Windfarce as many times as I can. It's not fair , Why didn't I win? My name was better than his and I thought of it first,He copied me. Right thats it I'm going home now.
Get over it you big girly sooks.
