YOUR SCOOP FOR THE LOOT

OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED KENNY!
Dorian

Hideho, 'Looters. Since it originally aired, we all have been trying to perfect an impression of a South Park character whether it's Stan, or Kenny, or Mr(s) Garrison. Show off your skills in the Best South Park Impression contest. We have a list of quotes you can use if you need some ideas for a kick-ass impression.

The winner will receive seasons 1 to 10 of one of the most popular animated shows in American history on DVD, a copy of the South Park Imaginationland DVD, a pair of comfy Officer Barbrady slippers, and the safest product Towelie can possibly offer: a beach towel.

Set up your camera and give us that sweet impression. Remember some of the language may not be appropriate for our younger members. The best videos are ones where the talent is speaking loudly and clearly and are shot in well-lit areas. Enter Best South Park impression, mmmmkay?

SURVEY

Before we give SugarLoot a facelift, we want to know what design elements Looters prefer. Take this survey.

With our contests featuring prizes such as trips to Chicago, NY or LA, we know a lot of you have been working hard to get those votes. We want to give you some pointers on how to get as many 10's as possible.

1.) Facebook Applications
Some contests (Hottest Girl, Best Smile, contests sponsored by PATD, Seether, and Simple Plan, and others) have a Facebook Application. You and all your Facebook friends can give your entry 10's right from your profile. If they install the app, they and all of their friends can give you 10's from their profile. It's a great way to rack up a high score for a good photo. Just go to your entry and click the red box above your score to automatically install the application.

2.) Post Badges
Whether you are on MySpace, LiveJournal, Blogger, or have your own site, you can get more votes by including a SugarLoot badge for your contest entry. A badge shows your entry and provides a direct link for people to cast a vote. Above your entry, there is a "share" link that takes you to a screen with code for creating a badge for all of your favorite sites. Just enter your username and password, and sit back to count the extra votes coming in. Be assured we never store any of your personal account info, so your account will be as safe as ever.

3.) Campaign Like Crazy
Fan new people on SugarLoot and remind them to give you daily 10s. Post your entry in the community section. Remember that sometimes talent isn't enough to win. Working hard and getting lots of votes can be the difference between being a runner-up, and taking home a grand prize. Good luck!

'LOOTER IS MORE THAN A SEETHER-GROUPIE
Linda and Shaun Morgan of Seether

Since we launched Seether's Biggest Music Fan, we've had loads of entrants who can't even try to "fake it" when it comes to their Seether fandom. The one taking the lead has to be Seether's superfan, Linda. She practically buddy-buddy with all the members of Seether. We caught up with Linda and got into a conversation about her first time... meeting the band, of course.

"Well the first time I met the Seether boys, my best friend and I had backstage passes for a meet & greet. Getting the tickets, let alone backstage access, was a task in itself because the concert was sold out. I had to call this kid at the local radio station and chat him up 3 days in a row until he finally seemed to like me enough to hook me up. I mean, the concert was on my birthday!! C'mon right?!"

Going to a Seether concert is certainly a great way to celebrate your birthday, but Linda's real present has to be when she caught the eye of lead signer, Shaun Morgan. "... I'm just staring at him and he gives me this big smile and a little wave. Now before this, I wasn't the type to crush on a celebrity or be star struck but there is just something about him. Anyhow, they were all very polite, friendly and easy to talk to. I think that was one of the things that impressed me the most: the personal attention you get from them."

Linda's entry certainly got our attention. Vote on her and other people's entries in Seether's Biggest Music Fan contest..

DISCUSSION ABOUT DISCUSSIONS

With the advent of the Community section, Looters have been spouting off on all sorts of subjects. To help keep conversations on topic, we're giving you a couple of different places to post your thoughts. There's a "vote for my entry" conversation for getting those all important votes (and keeping the other conversations free of contest spam). You can even use it as your daily 10's list. We'll run one of these weekly so they don't get too long.

There's also a conversation about the new SugarLoot Awards: who has the most? What's cool about them? What feedback do you have for us on them?

In case you want to discuss something we haven't even thought of, we started a conversation about what other conversations to start. There are plenty of places in our community to sound off, so get clicking and make yourself heard!
