The editor asks me to start a thread about my contest idea. Here be it.
A couple months ago, my website had a small "internet scavenger hunt" contest, in which the participants had to go around to various forums online and perform certain 'deeds.' ed thinks something similar might be cool for detnet, so I'm looking for new deeds for the contestants to perform. The last ones involved getting called 'queer' on a satanist website, getting kicked off the Christian forums, convincing someone on a conspiracy website some dumb and irrational theory, and getting someone on the Canada fourms to use the words "syrup" and "trout" in the same post. Any suggestions?
(ps -- that contest sheet was here)

Cool, Uber! Just thinking; what if the contest was to start a rumor that got into the mainstream media?
"I hear AOL/TimeWarner is buying Cisco!"
"The US captured Osama last month but it's a secret so the US can prolong the war"
"There are new music CDs out that prevent copying on computers"
Oops. Sorry about that.
Or we can run with a scavenger hunt. Who can find the largest amount of free rackspace?
what do you think, Uber? Email me for your free 64Mb of RAM. It *does* work! BTW, you win the contest contest!

He he he... yeah... or convince the conspiracy theorists that... 
So, should we roll with those same tasks as I used on my old site? We should probably change them around a bit... But it's not like we really have to; not many people participated in that, so not many knew it happened.

Woah okay I like that.
I doubt we'd actually go through with it but it would be nice for detnet to set up a hoax on the media....

How 'bout we make up some story about detonate.net developing a water-run perpetual motion device... The mainstream sci/tech columnists seem to love those things.

Even if it doesn't become a contest, it'd be fun to make a prank thread... like, come up with ideas for mainstream media pranks. Like hosting a page on Detnet where we show off the offensive banner ad that MSN was showing on their site, or something... of course, we'd have to make that banner. If nothing else, good way to get traffic over here once we have content up.
Just a thought

I have a couple friends at this new company, still nonpublic, that's supposedly working on this new car engine made to run on pure H20. They have a prototype up they dropped in a '64 Impala, and it's been running at 134mph for the past 3 and a half weeks, they say. pretty wicked, don't ya think? I could get an interview with one if ya'll wanted...
