If you registered after September 10th, 2006 Candies will only be for fun
I’m very excited to announce that SmartCanucks.ca forum is back with some interesting additions. I’m also giving away the iPod Nano I got from TD bank 
I’ve been working on this idea for a couple of days and hopefully you’ll like it. Remember when I mentioned last month that I would share my ad revenue with my visitors? I’ve been thinking of a way of rewarding visitors who post more and help out and therefore I came up with an idea…
Whenever you post a new topic on SmartCanucks.ca’s forum you get 2 candies (not real candies, just points). When you reply to any topic you get quarter of a candy. When you have specific number of candies you can redeem them for actual gifts from me. Here is what you can redeem your Candies for:
500 candies: a small surprise gift chosen by me (Boo Radley) or one of my friends
900 candies: skincare cream (Vichy, RoC, etc.) or $15 gift card
1800 candies: an elegant bag or purse or $35 gift card
50000 candies: the iPod Nano I won from TD (first person only)
I’ll also have candy events every now and then where many candies can be won. You can see the amount of candies you have under your name in the forum:
Note that this is not a means of paying you for helping out… this is just a way of having fun on SmartCanucks.ca and making use of the little revenue I make. Hopefully I’ll get more sponsors soon and add more items to the above candy list 
What is your opinion of this idea? Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
This will not affect my blog posts which I will continue as usual.
oh, one more thing…

btw. there was a little mistake in the Candy calculation so I fixed it and added your 2 candies.
I think it’s a fabulous idea, even though I’m not one of those Forum Types.
I wish you luck!

Mmm…candy
Speaking of which, I really got to update my blog (how did I get from candy to blog? 
).
Ugh…I haven’t received an activation email. Can you activate my forum account?
P.S. Did you change my WP permissions? Not complaining or anything, just wondering.
nolookingca I activated your account
Sounds like a great idea! A very interesting way to build up your forum..but a great idea nonetheless
Like this site a lot! Glad to help out my fellow Canadians!
This is a way cool site! I’m currently living in the US, but some of these might work for me… I’ll definitely keep my eyes out to help find deals! Good luck!
This is a great Site! I will be sure to post things here!
cool system…sounds interesting…I’m in!
sounds good to me i like having a site where i can find all of my freebies instead of googleing it and spending hours looking for one or two freebies i hate how the US gets all of the good stuff
