12th Anniversary Carseat Giveaway Contest: Name Those Members

Win a carseat or gift certificate from Amazon as a thank you for being part of our great community at Car-Seat.Org!

It's our 12th anniversary! Car-Seat.Org was launched in April, 2001. Back then, it had it's own URL, but it wasn't hosted independently. We started on ezboard (now Yuku), one of the major forum providers at the time. It was sort of like how Wordpress, blogspot and others provide blog hosting in addition to their proprietary software. Later, we migrated to a self-hosted vBulletin forum system for reliability and growth. The forum was still quite small at that time. All the posts from Ezboard carried over, as did member names on those posts, but account registrations did not migrate. So, we had to manually verify those who moved from Ezboard as they registered new accounts here. Not too many of those members are still active today.

To win, you must name 10 (and only 10) members who joined while Car-Seat.org was on EZ-boards and who have visited Car-Seat.Org in 2013. I don't count (on any account).

I'm not sure how hard this will be. There are probably some good hints in past contests, user profiles and just by sleuthing the search archives. In response to each guess, I will reply with how many correct guesses you have out of 10. You may guess only one time until I have made a reply, then you may guess again. Anyone may enter. Old timers with good memories may have a slight advantage, but I'm guessing the sleuthers will have the edge.

The winner will receive their choice of carseat from the list below, subject to the following restrictions. The carseat must be sold by Amazon.com and the fashion selected must be indicated as "In Stock", "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" and eligible for
check-prime-45x13._V192552839_.gif
shipping. The maximum value for any selection is $90. No substitutions or exceptions, sorry!

I didn't mention the members list in my post, but I'm assuming that was the easiest way to find it:)

Congrats Brianna!


Ha! I searched so long and found previous contests where you mentioned ezboard, which allowed me to find Caviller, UlrikeDG, Murphydog77, MyLittleTyke and safeinthecar....and then I stumbled across the "members list" search to find the rest:)

Yes, on ezboard the admin name was "carsafety" and my username was "caviller". It changed when we moved off ezboard to a self-hosted vbulletin in Jan 2003. That's why many old posts, even those from a few members around back then, appear as guests. They were imported from ezboard and not associated with new accounts made here.

Ha! I didn't know you were Caviller! I wouldn't have won anyways!:p

Yeah, sortable member list would have made it easy had I: 1) Noticed the part about visiting in 2013, and 2) Been faster than Brianna :p

Happy anniversary. I am not as smart as Brianna and therefore was torturing myself by reading old unformatted posts that linked to EZboard. Next year, the list should require people who have also posted in the current year.

ETA - Just a heads up that your evenflo link doesn't include any that ship from Amazon. - I assume you mean any backless amp below the threshold, right?

Re: Thank you long time forum members! Please call out members from years ago who you remember for great advice!

Thank you all so much for sticking around so long :D I'm so glad I found this awesome community!

And for fun... 12 years ago I was 11 :eek: and barely in middle school. Car seats were nowhere near on my radar! (Well, maybe I should have been in a booster still ;))

Sorry, they must have sold out since the last contest a few days ago!

You may certainly substitute any Evenflo Amp backless or Turbo Backless (subject to the rules above), such as:
