ABT Announces our new “Hidden Treasures” Contest
Help us celebrate AlienBabelTech’s nineteen-month anniversary this week by entering to win some great Cooler Master hardware prizes. Just help us find the treasure chests that are well-hidden in our 2010 articles. And we hid a lot of treasure chests so that whoever finds the most chests first, wins!
After you have signed up at ABT forums, feel free to start or join a discussion already in progress. ABT forum is the best place on the Internet to freely speak your mind – with minimal moderation and no “site point of view” imposed on anyone! Instead, everyone has real freedom balanced with personal responsibility. That means that everyone is their own moderator and is empowered to block those that they deem trolls as a “foe” and you will never see their posts again. AlienBabelTech is a Great Experiment that you are invited to become a part of; one that is evolving into the first true twenty-first century forum.
In the meantime, you are very welcome to join our growing lively membership, find our treasure chests, and maybe win some great Cooler Master hardware. It is all free to join and enter.
Of course, there are always legal details and fine print as below:
