  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Here are all the details for our very special raffle celebrating the 5th anniversary of BOTL™. It's been an amazing journey and I wanted to come up with something extra special while being fair and rewarding those who donated to BOTL™ over the years. Ticket price is $5 and only 123 will be sold (5 year anni. / BOTL™ opened 12/3 - get it?) Since we have a limited number of tickets available, sales will be divided over the next 5 days.

BoM's & 4-year donors
Starts TODAY @ 5pm CT

3 year donors
Starts November 22nd @ 5pm CT

2 year donors
Starts November 23rd @ 5pm CT

1 year donors
Starts November 24th @ 5pm CT

Open to all donors
November 25th @ 5pm CT

I am not expecting this to be necessary since we have more donors than tickets available. If it is necessary, then all donors and BoM's will be allowed to purchase one additional ticket until sold out.

The important details and overview

Ticket price: $5
# of tickets: 123

How to buy tickets

* All payment information for the tickets will be visible as a sub-forum. It will NOT be seen until the scheduled dates (as above).

* You are limited to one ticket purchase, unless tickets are still available on November 25th at 5pm CT (as per schedule).

* You must be a member in good standing. You are disqualified if you are currently banned or have a negative trader rating.

* Your ticket number will be generated at random between 1 and 123 and be posted here BOTL Cigar Forums - Brothers of the Leaf

* Prizes and chances of winning are located here BOTL Cigar Forums - Brothers of the Leaf

* Final date of drawing will be listed in this thead BOTL Cigar Forums - Brothers of the Leaf and be drawn on live video in our Chat Room. Need not be present to win.

Any questions, please post them here after you have read the entirety of this post and I will update as necessary.

For those who haven't donated...

All is not lost! While the raffle has been reserved for the donors, there will be several contests open for everyone between now and December 3rd. Donations for 2010 will open in December.

Finally, thanks to all the sponsors who made this all amazingly possible.

Good luck!

Hey Eric,

Great idea and plan... thanks for having a fun raffle and thanks to the sponsors of the prizes!

My question probably has an obvious answer but I just wanted to know where I would qualify as a donor? I have only been a BOTL member for a few months and donated since that time, so am I in the "All Donors" category since I haven't been here a full year, or am I in the "1-year" category since I donated in 2009?

Thanks again! :smokingbo

Do I have this right?
Does this mean it's only visible to those that fall under that date category and you have to wait until your day for it to be visible to you?
