Board Game Sweepstakes (Winner on 3/12)
Enter by adding or improving a game page using the 'Edit' link on the game page. You can also make a post or comment in the forum just like last week and enter to win a $60 board game by Tuesday 3/12, 4pm PST. Each improvement, post or comment is another entry.
Full rules here.
I'm hoping to encourage improvement to the database while also keeping the community active with this giveaway. Also, the contest start period is the moment yesterday's ended so that any potential posts weren't made in vain!

so far the nontoxic community, easily accessible game info, and great features added to make posting and managing wishlists are keeping my interests

Thanks for the encouragement. There's still a lot to be desired for sure. But I'm trying to make each change significant and based on what users want.

its to be expected. just because you inhabit the middle of the bell curve doesnt mean the RNG wont pick something outside the average (which it often does)

I wouldn't say it is to be expected. I would just say it isn't unheard of.

well when your odds are 17/1500-2000 I would say that it is a rarity not a common occurrence.

I know right! You were the first person I thought of after the result got released xD.......

Feel free to just edit games you see missing info or you can use our Game Bounty Link (https://www.boardgameatlas.com/search?bounty=true which is under the contribute section at the bottom of the website) to see games with missing info.

Yup! I just updated and tested the code for the new game data entries! (I'm going to have a special event for the next week as well which will have daily winners.)

Do comments on a deleted post count? I wrote a comment on a post and I went back to check the thread and it was gone.

this past week ive edited quite a few games, but only two have registered on my profile as wiki contributions. are there certain edits that dont count? (some i added info, some grammatical errors, etc)
trentellingsen Owner22 months ago
Can you link to a few of them? It should be counting every contribution. The only time it doesn't is if an edit is made but nothing actually changed.
walterbd 22 months ago
oh Im not sure i remember what they were. i spent some time clicking "random game" and looking for errors or improvements to make. ill DM you a list if i can think of them.
trentellingsen Owner22 months ago
haha, sounds good. I'll check the database and see if I can find anything there to help me figure this out.

I'm still not sure about this site. IT continues to change, which is good, but haven't found what I like about it yet. I keep hoping. Keep updating.
