Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello, guys. I'm sorry I haven't been on much since the summer ended - I've been busy trying to sort my life out. I've been loaded to the brim with college applications, scholarship questing, and just plain ole' trying to figure things out.

For those of you who do not recognize me, my previous screen name was Tor Petty, and I've been a member of this guild for... nearly the duration of its existance. I joined as a newb, and have loved this guild for a long time.

Now, I was hoping that I might get some help from you, and hopefully I haven't been gone so long that it won't be welcomed.

I have this scholarship that I'm pursuing, and it's for $20k. That money would help out IMMENSELY, and that's why I'm trying to rally some support here. I tried posting in Gaia's main chatterbox, but that isn't working out. Hopefully I can get some help here.

Details:

I am a semi-finalist for a zinch.com scholarship. Perhaps you've heard of zinch? It's a college networking site for high school upperclassmen.

Anyway, I am competing with students in my state for votes. In order to go to regionals, I have to be of the top four vote-getters. I'm in sixth. Please help me so that I can have a chance at this money for college!

Click this link:

Then hit the blue button:


Zinch will ask you to create a log-in, but you don’t have to commit to anything. It does this so that the voting is fair. Just create a password and verify your email, and forget about it.

ANY help would be appreciated, especially if you can spread the word at all. I'm so sorry if this is an inconvenience, and feel free to move my thread to a subforum if you need to.

I voted! kinda saddened though i did not get a i voted sticker.... redface biggrin

This is sort of an odd question. But how do I go about creating an account? Normally account creation is really easy for me. If you could give me a step by step. So you don't end up forgetting the one piece of information I need that would help.

@Fubar:
Awww, don't grill me. I can't promise that I'll be around more for a while, but I WILL be as soon as I get squared away with all my other priorities {college, ect.}

I'm semi-decent at recruiting new members, so I'll try my best. :]

@Lance Calvis:
They have it set up kind of redundant. It goes kind of in a circle.

You're going to follow that link at hit the vote button. A window should pop up where you type a username, password, and your email. But you still can't vote at this point.

X out of that window and go check your email. There will be a confirmation notice. Click the link they provide you with and log in. You should be able to vote by then.

^^

Voted. biggrin
