If they are on PST Time (living in California for example) it's only 4:30 in the afternoon... they might not even be home from their day jobs yet.
I'm certain there will be an announcement or at least an update shortly
For those who were wondering and haven't shot me a PM, this giveaway is being extended until the end of January to give more members a chance to enter.
I am also adding more ways for you to earn up to 110 additional raffle tickets.
- Have 500 forum posts : 10 tickets
- Help another member by answering a question on the forum : 2 tickets PER DAY = up to 100 extra tickets
The remainder of the terms remain unchanged. If the price of the D610 manages to drop by the end of January, the prize might be updated to include a lens. etc.
Enter me in this Give-a-way. Since I have the 5200, I might as well shoot for the 610.
Welcome to Nikon Forums!
As part of our site launch, we are hosting a giveaway featuring a Nikon D610 or a D7100 (your choice*) as a grand prize, sponsored by B&H photo! We've designed this giveaway so that almost everyone who joins our site has a small chance of winning, but users who are very active in our community will be many times more likely to win.
The giveaway is esentially a very big raffle. You earn raffle tickets by being active in our community. After about two months (on December 10th, 2013) we will calculate the number of raffle tickets that each member is entitled to, and the winner will be drawn. Update as of December 10th: the giveaway has been extended until the end of January (1/31/2014) due to low participation.
The link above will show you all the ways in which you can enter!
The idea behind this setup is that users who regularly come and visit our site will have an increased chance of winning. Of course, there will be those who actively try to post more in order to increase their chances of winning, but we've set things up so that there's a cap on the number of raffle tickets you can get based on everyday activities such as posting and commenting. If you want to greatly increase your chances of winning, consider adding some lens/camera reviews, maintaining a personal blog, or submitting a few guest posts to our homepage.
It's clear that while many people will enter the giveaway, only one person will be able to win the grand prize. However, we'd also like to be able to reward everyone that tried hard in the giveaway. Therefore, if you are one of the top 5% raffle ticket holders (or top 50, whichever is smaller) at the end of the giveaway, you will receive a premium forum account. We may also give out other prizes along the way, such as t-shirts, gift cards, and other logo gear.
If you end up being our winner, the only thing we ask is that you upload an unboxing video to youtube after receiving your prize, or that you blog about your new camera on our homepage or in a personal blog.
I'd like to wish everyone good luck, and I hope you enjoy the site!

I would love to win this have a D5000
Having taken a course in statistics 25 years ago, in which I received a grade of "B", I think I'm more than qualified to say that we all know it's going to be a person with like 2 posts... just simply because we, the frequent posters, are numerically out numbered by those who just joined for the contest.
But then again, I got a "B" in statistics for a reason. LOL
Good luck everyone!

Extending the contest a month and a half definitely hurt everyone's odds, too. I bet it will be won by someone who just joins today and has only one post, saying "I want to enter this contest".
Don't care who wins, it has been fun over the past few months and learnt so much.
Hopefully the contributors will continue to stick around and keep the forum going...I know I am really enjoying this site and plan on sticking around...Heck, I didn't even know there was a give away until after I'd joined!
I hope I win and if I can't I hope some of the frequent contributors wins!
