Here's the low down
We need some new faces here at VC (not that your faces aren't positively gorgeous, but shouldn't we notify other people of that?). The first site-wide contest will be a competition to see who can spread the site link around the most.Directions: 1. Reply to this topic saying that you will be taking part in the contest.
2. Post an advertisement on other sites, refer people to our lovely site, and do anything else that will draw in prospective members.
3. Come back here to post the links and number of advertisements you posted and the names of members you referred. But what, there's more?Any good contest needs prizes, right? Well this one is no different. The prizes you are eligible to receive are as follows: For... 20 Links or three members: An automatic evolution for one of your character's pokemon
40 Links or five members: A free pokemon of your choice (unevolved)
60 links or 8 members: Another pokemon (evolved)
80 Links or 10 members: Another free pokemon, this time a shiny
100 Links or 15 members: A free fossil pokemon (unevolved)
150 Links or 18 members: 5000 pokedollars
200 Links or 20 members: Another free fossil pokemon (evolved)
500 Links or 25 members: A free shadow pokemon of any species (beside legendary) Please try to not advertise on the same site. You will not get points if you do this.Also, linking back doesn't count. Leave that to me please. You may or may not use the ad already made. In fact, it'd be cool if you made your own. CONTESTANTS:

HA, WHOO ONE SITE! I feel epic yo >_> LOL! I'll try to find more tomorrow. but... seeing as like, you three have outdone yourselves, I dunno what I'll be able to find xD boundbytradition.proboards.com/index.cgiI brought in Groove, Smiff and Genesis :3 I'll do some advertising on some pokemon sites I'm on as well, see if anyone from there wants to join us. If I can bring in actual members rather than just advertise, I'll feel a little better about helping this project out xD

.... Wow, just looking at this thread makes me sad. D'x (*hates ad-not-affy-...ing* >3< Awkward wording ftl.. I mean I get that they can link back here if they want, but it still feels shameless to me, and that honestly just depresses me for whole other reasons upon seeing there are as many ad as RP threads on a board. :<) ... 'x3; I mean, whatever works. Just I dislike doing it. *shot* ' ; ON LESS COMPLAININGFUL NOTES~ Do members count if referred prior to contest start? If so, I got Gallay and Floramei so far; not enough for a prize yet but to go ahead and note, I guess. - Also, will prizes count separate/different for Affiliates recruited? Because with access to wrappers, I can totally go on an affie crusade if you like. :3

I wasn't a fan of advertising either but it's been proven to work faster than affys ^^'
Well I don't think either of the member's you referred posted much (if anything) but sure, they count.
You can find affiliates if you'd like, but I don't think they are worth much in this kind of contest.

...Because.... permanent links are less valuable than ones that will quickly be pushed to the bottom of a list and rarely seen again, of course. Silly SG, what was I thinking.. 'x3 (Translation: Even if ads work FASTER, doesn't it make sense good affies would do likely more in the long haul?)
'x3; Flora hath not posted because she's been working on two extremely thorough bios while preparing to leave for college (TOMORROW omg o.o). ;3 You will not be disappointed in her skills, even if her activity may be limited by college-ness. ... Gallay aka Olivegon I'll yell at and ask why. x3

No I definitely see your point. Ads on sites with medium activity seem to work well, but affys with really popular sites work just as well. If you can find big sites to put our banner up on then that'd be great.
Yeah I know about the college thing :s -boyfriend is leaving in a couple weeks-

I'll see what I can do. I won't be doing board-ads, but I'll see if, perchance, there's anyone I know in person that might like this. x'D (This is unlikely to actually DO anything, BUT I figured I'd say something just in case of a miracle or something. xDD)

Sorry but it doesn't work like that. You can't go back and get previous prizes, and you can't multiply prizes that you already got. All you can do is shoot to get the higher prizes. *has already tried it and knows =P*
