Get your game on!

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 [...]

October on MakeFive sees winners getting “interesting”

October was a solid month on MakeFive. Lots of interesting topics and a few new members have become really active on the site. I think we can safely say that the site is starting to “connect”, and a few of you seem outright addicted! (It’s okay though… we like to see you online for hours [...]

Our band-aid solution to points

Just a general “FYI” to the MakeFive Community: we do know that points are problematic. To be frank with you, it’s just a harder thing to remedy than it may appear from the outside.

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 [...]

August contest winners announced

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 [...]
