One more thing, if we win a prize from this contest, all the members who helped with the video will be entered in a drawing for the prize.

It's strange how sometimes the Gold Rush contest seems really responsive, and other times you wonder if anyone is there... I'm really surprised that they haven't updated the Hall of Fame with the gold coin winnners and the top 100 for the last 2 rounds. You would think that would be easy, and we like our little bit of web fame. I guess they are all busy working hard to get Gold Rush 2 ready for next month (any idea if that is still going to happen?), but you'd think they'd take a few minutes to keep their players happy. I imagine it will be a horrible job to mail 5000 tshirts, but just hire some temps and get it done already. Also they were really really slow notifying the gold coin winners, when the rules stated it would be done the night of the final puzzles for each round, it seems like it was often months later. I've also seen complaints about the instant win spin the wheel prizes not being sent out.

I know that these contests are mostly about marketing, and appealing to the clients that are paying the money, but it's frustrating when they forget about the players... The Jeep contests is similar... I've seen on their site that I won third place, but I didn't get a call or even an email to say I won, and I have no idea if or when they are going to mail the ipod. Volvo on the other hand seemed to really do a good job with how they treated their players. Dominos also seems really responsive so far with their new contest. Gold Rush has sometimes been great, like with the live contests, and with actually giving away tshirts when we suggested it, and sometimes they've been poor. It seems strange to me when companies will spend tons of money making websites and advertising contests, but then fall flat when it comes to giving out the rewards. I guess you can't complain too much when you are getting something for free, but they could easily have a very loyal customer if they gave out the prize quickly with a brief bit of fanfare rather than making people wait and wonder and get annoyed.

Question: Did anyone get a Gold Rush t-shirt? I'm just wondering if they actually sent them out.
