whaletail116 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Beloved member DSIMMS has now been apart of this community for ten days, averaging an astonishing 18.3 posts per day. I want to challenge dsimms to surpass our fearless leader, caserri, in total number of posts before the stroke of midnight on December 31, 2009. A total of 132 days remain left this year and dsimms would need an average of 26 posts per day MORE than caserri to take the top spot. I'm offering dsimms a high-quality triple bulk candy machine, ABSOLUTELY FREE, if he can accomplish this amazing feat. A Vendstar 3000 awaits if he can crack the top 5 (11.55 posts per day). Of course, low-quality posts are unappriciated and will thus end the challenge. It is only meant to create more valuable conversations. Best of luck and God Speed! = ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Let's add Mr. Vend to this too. I like his posts: "Sounds good!" "Interesting!" "Something to think about!" Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Interesting challenge. dsimms has already made an appearance in two stat categories as well. If you look at the stats page, http://vendiscuss.com/forum/index.php?action=stats you'll see he is responsible for the following stats... Number 5 in Top 10 Topics (by Replies) Number 6 in Most Time Online At his pace, I can only imagine what it'll look like on 12/31/09! BTW, he is now at 20.1 posts per day.

dsimms Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Interesting... does that include free shipping... I dunno man,, that seems like a lot to accomplish... Ill do what I can do, if it happens, then great, if not, then maybe it benifits the forum in some way... placing 3rd VendStar tomorrow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whaletail116 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Caserri, 28 posts today! Is this by chance a reaction to DSIMMS' motivation of taking over the top spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsimms Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Caserri, 28 posts today! Is this by chance a reaction to DSIMMS' motivation of taking over the top spot? I should get a free VS just for trying... anyone got free VS they want to send ? must work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Caserri, 28 posts today! Is this by chance a reaction to DSIMMS' motivation of taking over the top spot? No. Poor timing I guess. Those 28 posts were the result of starting up the vending video section. Before we switched to this software, I didn't even recognize or list myself as top poster, T Bird Johnny was. I don't have a choice with this software. It counts everything, admin or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mettle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Go get'em dsimms, I know you can do it!! Oh yea congrats on the 3rd placement! I'm going to check on my 3 VS tomorrow, as it will be 1 whole week they have been out. I will probably go around and place little plastic cups on the machines as I heard this may improve sales.

whaletail116 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Really? Plastic cups on the machines? Let me know if that works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssamma Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Whale, there was a thread on here a while back. The idea was that with a plastic cup, a customer will put several quarters in to fill the cup instead of just one and walking away. Additionally, people who are worried about getting "messy" hands will now buy your product because the candy stays in the cup. Someone here who has actually done it can probably add more...

MrEen Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I have done that (just put little Dixie cups on top, not welding a cup holder to the stand.) The cups disappear very quickly, or drop to the floor and now no one wants to use them. I have not bothered to replace them, but will probably continue putting them on top of machines at install time (at least until I run out of original purchase of 1200 for $12.)

whaletail116 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Scott, those were my exact thoughts when I first saw the post. That they would get knocked over or something. But I can see it help, especially if they are mounted somehow. I certainly don't like messy hands. = ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Every now and then I see some on a machine, The cups disappear very quickly AND people will vandalize the cup holder. I have never seen a machine where the cup holder lasted more than 4 months. Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
