Hello,
I am a finalists in an online prize contest for a camera at WhoGets.com. The winner is determined by votes on who deserves to get it most. My reason is:
This would be a great gift for my wife for our wedding anniversary on July 4th. Being a college student it is hard to keep the bills paid let along buy nice gifts. We have no camera now and have 2 nephews and a niece plus all sorts of family events that she would love to keep memories of.
So if you can find the time to stop by and help me out it would much appreciated. My id is nickq112 there.
Here is the link:

Thanks, Nick
This requires registration if you choose to vote.
Sounds like a good way to collect email addresses for later sales to merchants...
Yes, I forgot about that. Thanks!
Well, I empathize with your desire to get a nice gift for your wife, but is this really appropriate to post on FR?
I can understand your concern. I’ve been a member for awhile and I only received one email from them when I became a finalists. They are legit however because I have a friend who won a dvd from them.
I have seen others a while back post similar to Vanity.
spam. please delete
Trust me. I’m no spammer. Only seeking votes from friends of a forum I have been a member of since the 2000 election.
This is the worst sort of “Vanity”
Can you say, “ Buh-Bye?”
Well, OK then, it still seems odd, but ... done. One more vote.
I am someone who has posted maybe 3 vanities on this board since I joined in 2000. I have many here who would say I ain’t a troll or a spammer. Just seeking a few votes to try to win. Sorry if I offended.
Thanks!
What’s in it for me?
Heh! I’ll promise to vote for you if you win! Not sure, however, have anything I can do for you online? Nothing freaky...
I want a new camera.
This thread has to be a first on FR. I don’t recall ever seeing anything like it before.
I’m not offended, just don’t think this thread would last this long on a weekday.
As one of my friends in California used to say to hitchhikers: “get a haircut, get a job, get a car”).
So get a job (or a loan from your family) and buy your own damn camera.
Done. I have a ‘throwaway’ email acct I use for regreq sites, so I was happy to help. Good luck. :)
