    I'm 50/50 on changing the sig as I think the original one is a bit more attention grabbing than the new one to be honest

    Some of us should change it definitely, but I'm gonna keep the old one as I think we should have a bit of variety.

    Or we could have both in our sigs making them MASSIVE, but I dooubt sigpo would like that. Then again, it's only 'til Friday, what's the worst that could happen...

    Updated my sig too...

    The 31st is the only date I have organised for the moment for the haunted castle thing. I guessing we could stick it into a part of the rafffle where people can just come up and pick the prize they want, if they can't make it they won't pick it.

    So I'm a little bit confused. Are those of us that bought tickets online eligible to win all prizes or just the online ones? And, likewise, those with a "real" ticket only able to win the physical prizes?

    nkay1985, let me clarify it. If you buy a ticket online and are not going to be at the event, obviously we couldn't afford to post any items you won. Apart from the vouchers, and the boards prizes. (Mod for a day, chose a smiley, free sub etc) So if you buy a ticket online you will only be eligible for those prizes. If you buy a ticket at the event you are able to win ANY prize, as we can give it to you then.

    Although thinking about I can see what you are getting at. But it's too late to say if you buy a ticket at the event you can only win the physical prizes, we want to make as much money as possible.

    Sorry for the confusion :o

    On the flipside, most of the prizes seem to be deliverable anyway, i.e. online :)

    Well we have 5 bottles of wine, a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of blueberry liquor, a bottle of sparkling wine, 2 bottles of champagne, and an assortment of monkeys! Also tSubh Dearg is hopefully getting the Lilly O'Briens chocolates today. We also have the voucher for JMD tattoos in Waterford, and the 2, (yes 2, they only sent 2 instead of 3 but they did send a funky bag for them!) Dublin Passes.

    But everything else could be sent via PM/Email. I will update the list later today and announce the closing time.

    Ronny that would be great! I have to go into the city first thing. I wont really have time to go out to Ballsbridge. As I then have get back home, have the 3S's (sh1t, shave & shower!) change, load the van at 2:40pm and then will be at the mercantile. (I don't have transport at the moment, Mrs Spider doesn't go into the city!)

    I have told them it will be kicking off at 5pm, but I will be setting everything up and putting up the decorations. Opps! did I say decorations? I meant putting up the lights! So If you could collect the wine, and drop them into me that would be grand!

There are also a number of special offers as well as the Aircoach transfer from the airport to the city.

    Agent_Smith: iPod shuffle

    The Admins have generously donated a very substantial amount to the cause, as well as the following prizes:

    1) Mod for a day with the caveat that, if you engage in any behaviour unsuited to the role, such as ban rampages etc., you will find your time curtailed, and a one month siteban will be issued.

    2) Pick a new Boards.ie emoticon! (smiley) subject to Admin approval.

    3) 3 forums approved, subject to admin's discretion. Certain fora suggestions will not be entertained at this time (Drugs, for example)

    4) 3 free subscriptions to Boards.ie

    5) A trip around the hosting centre and the office to let people see how small we really are!

    So there you go, an impressive list I'm sure you'll agree! Tickets are selling fast, so get in quick! We can accept paypal, Neteller and Moneybookers payments.

    Unfortunately the glitter lava lamp is no longer in the raffle as I dropped it! Whoops! But there might be a replacement item instead! I would like to thank all the people who have donated prizes and bought tickets. I will give you an update on the total amount raised on Saturday. (If I'm still alive!)

    So click that banner NOW! and buy those remaining tickets

    Thankyou for your support

    I was always a bit behind;)

    Blame eBay!

    Anyway, thanks to all of you that gave to us so generously. We're very heartened by the take up on this, and you all know who you are.

    Kudos to Rb, and above all DJ Spider, who has put in a sterling amount of work behind the scenes here (and who is only just beginning!), to Cormie for the transport (vantasks.ie people), and all those who kindly donated items out of their own pocket. Admins too, who donated a substantial amount of goodies and hard cash to the cause.

    The very best of luck to the participants, and to those who can attend, enjoy the night, and don't heckle the DJ too much;)
