My August Challenge to DonationCoder.com Members
« on: August 03, 2006, 04:06 PM »
I'm challenging every DonationCoder.com member to write a mini-review of their favorite software application during August, no matter what it is! Heck, everyone has a favorite utility they can't live without. So share it with us! For every review submitted in August, I will donate $5 to the site at the end of the month. For those who don't have the time to submit a review, then I challenge you to donate a mere €3/$5 to the site during August. I'm reviewing the XYplorer File Manager soon.

Who's with me?  ;D

this is a wonderful idea, i wish i had thought to include such a call for mini reviews.

josh has created a mini review template here:
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=4569.0

i will now add it to the "Add Preset Text.." drop down box in the post form so it's really easy to use if you choose to.



ps.
zaine is forbidden from donating more to the site, he's been far too generous already.  instead i would encourage us all to donate to the mini review writers.  zaine, don't make me create a chapter of DC Anonymous in your neighborhood!  Treatment involves cody running loose in your house with a hammer.

Ha, then we'll donate to the review writers themselves, cool! Also, thanks go to Josh and others for their work on the template.

As I said, count me in on 4-5 of these. I enjoy writing mini-reviews and it will be my pleasure to contribute more!

Awesome offer! But I agree, donate to the authors, and the site as well if you have spare. I'll do both myself. :)

And I'll try to get in some mini-reviews too!

Fantastic! Reviews add another dimension of content to the site that as mouser has mentioned many times, brings people back to see what's new.

Most of my software is old...but I think I can manage to find something newer to review.

I''m def. gonna write a review :P The program I have in mind is my favorite program.. really.. it's so awesome..  :-* *me jumping out of seat* .. :P I know you DC'rs will love it if you currently aren't using it. It's a tool for powerusers I guess.. you decide for your self and try it! I shiould be finished an 1 - 2 hours.. Aiight! Try not to get totally curious of what it could be and how it will benefit you.. Hah!  :D

Ok, it's a text manager, read about it here: AceText - Your text/clipboard manager god.

Please tell me what you think.

- Peace.  ;D
