btarunr · Mar 28, 2011

Announcing the winners of the TechPowerUp and BitFenix "I'm a Shinobi" Contest. To celebrate the launch of BitFenix Shinobi PC case back in February, we threw open a contest to find two of the catchiest, wittiest, completions to the phrase "I'm a Shinobi because...", with the two getting a new Bitfenix Shinobi case each. And the winners are:

sttubs from Illinois, USA (entry)
TheMailMan78 from Florida, USA (entry)

Huge congrats you two, the organizers will contact the winners privately for shipping information.

but TPU needs it! How are you guys gonna test your new infractions otherwise? An he is almost a legend here at TPU. We try to imagine how many infractions he got and how many he should have gotten more etc etc

ha ha ha.. if mussel aint get any how could we have a chance. this contest is kinda heavy class

Completely Bonkers · Mar 28, 2011

Er, congratulations TMM. I remember reading that and laughing. But very bad in terms of setting a precedent on TPU about appropriate language. TPU just dropped to a new level. There is one thing letting a few comments pass through, and I am in favour of that, but it is a whole new ballpark if we condone and reward it.

Moderators have just lost the right to give infractions against inappropriate language. I despair!

(who were the judges on this competition?)
