    Default DP Wire Contest Survey

    Do NOT post any of the hints here.
    Do NOT post any clues here.
    Do NOT post any of the locations or answers here.

    Anyone who breaks one of these rules will be immediately disqualified from the contest.

    I've found the banners, but haven't figured out one of the icons yet.

    I suspect you guys expected that, though.

    I've LOOKED for the banners....but the clues are so vague, and they could be hidden anywhere on the site (and maybe even in a spot that we would'nt normaly go to) that I've kinda given up. :/

    I spent a lot of time looking for the first one, but I couldn't find it. I haven't looked for any of the others since. I'll probably try searching some more before the contest is over, but I get the feeling that even if I find the others I'll either not be able to indentify the icons (knowing my luck they'll all be obscure pre-crash sprites :/ ) or I still won't be able to find the first one...

    You will be surprised at just how obvious the clues were and how easy the banners are to find if you think about the hints a bit differently.

    Trust me, you'll do one of those "d'oh" head slaps when you hear the answers.

    Don't give up.

    That's exactly my problem. I thought I figured out the clues, but my search was still fruitless. Oh well.

    As with many others, I looked for the first couple and had no luck, so have kind of given up on it. Now if the prize were some rare colecovision goods, I'd be looking a lot harder.

    I spent an hour searching for the first one and a half one for the second but failed to find either.

    My brain ain't gonna crack this nut.

    Same here. I have no idea who that one is (and I'm sure we're both stuck on the same one )

    I found the first one in 5 minutes, and spent another 5 mins for hte 3rd one. The second one tho, I spent a week anda half, searching for a few hours each day until I found it hidden in the deep bowels of digital press (not THE digital press, but the site)

    Anywho, just thought I'd mention it
