I figured perhaps it was a problem with translating the message, but I agree. Still, if you have the chance to win a subscription just by participating in the forum then it is still a nice enticement to participate in that forum I think. Especially if the subscription is perhaps awarded quarterly or yearly and the same person cannot win except in alternating years or something...

>Thanks for posting this. I read the information on the site and it is not clear in the English version so I wanted to add here for lurkers that there will be a drawing (raffle) for the MSDN subscription on December 18th and all who contribute to the site and the Foxbey forum will be included in the drawing. (I understood drawing and not a vote) Can someone please verify that I translated it correctly?>
>Your translation and assessment is correct. What I read is misleading, and smacks of false advertising. What they offer is a chance to win, not a certinty that everyone that contributes gets a subscription. I said so to him in Message ID:
