As many of you know, the contest at MakeFive has been a point of contention for some time around here. I’ll be honest with you; it gives me a complete and utter headache. Most of the time it works well; but, every once in a while we get one user who chases points, creating crap [...]

As you likely know by now, part of the fun at MakeFive is the “What do you know?” Contest (which, incidentally, will be a little different next month.) The winners of the contest are up for prizes including iPods and (more importantly) the coveted MakeFive t-shirt. It’s hot, it’s sexy, it’s the greatest shirt you’ll [...]

At MakeFive, we like to celebrate those who get most involved in the community. Whether for starting topics or sharing opinions, it’s great to have so much great activity on the site!
Although the “What do you know?” Contest has been active for a few months, we thought we’d draw a little extra attention to it [...]
