I'm sure he will be pleased. Thanks Rex for putting on this raffle even though I didn't win. I will make this a sticky so everyone can see who won, and see that they didn't win.

This is why only Senior members and above should allowed to participate in these events. I'm hoping someone can explain this event to me, it seems pretty shady!

What also makes me wonder is this: Rex ahs obviously had no previous contact with this person aside from his "entry" into the drawing. Now, the entry was due yesterday. How would Rex know his TGO name if it didnt even exist yesterday?

Another thing I noticed, the lack of entusiasm in his post. If I won a free hood, youd bet your *** that Id be a hell of alot happier, and I sure would show it. Lastly, the lack of enthusiasm, smilies, and feelings reminds me too much of someone else...

A simple IP trace could lend all the answers...

I was wondering the same thing. Seems kinda weird how he could win and this happens to be his first post....sounds a lil fishy to me.

edit: there is also no info in his profile.. no location, car type, model etc. no instant messanger info nothing? weird.

How could you have entered into the contest if you just became a member today shortly before it was announced that you were the winner?

Rex announced the winner 29 minutes after you became a member. How can this be?

Josh, just because the IP's dont match, doesent mean theyre not from the same area. Go into the dos prompt, and type "tracert" the a space followed by the IP. You should be able to decipher a location from the information listed.

If this is the kind of contest he run's it makes you wonder what kind of a buisness man he is? maybe the complaints about his company are valid? How obvious can you make it, your RINGER wasn't even a member until after the entry deadline...........

The mods only have limited acces to user info, I can't access that much....only the administrator can...I'm trying to contact him as we speak.

This ain't right. The contest entries were due at the end of yesterday. The guy signed up today. Therefore he was NOT a member of this message board until today.

How can he win the hood if he signed up THE DAY the winner was supposed to be announced?

I emailed Rex and asked the same question and everyone should bomb his email to find out how it happened! He said that he had someone helping him with entries a few days ago, because he was getting backed up, well you may have wowcolor (the helper).; This sucks.....I don't mind not winning, if it's fair and square. BUT THIS.
