Yearly wanted.

KVM - 256MB/6GB SSD VPS for six months .Radi will use this
Congrats to you too
some are just lucky, and some are late for a reason : ) always stay + , thank allah for all things.
Do you consider it as offer ?
Verifying the posts now
Technically, I wouldn't call it a contest, just whoever can type faster.
Something more creative next time?
Yeh, next time please do something funny like record a video of yourself jumping on a kangarooball :-)
Of course! Thats actually why i called it a giveaway first
In all honesty, I kind of just wanted to see how the reaction to it would be. Next Sunday I'll defiantly throw in something more creative. If you have any suggestions drop me a PM.
reminds me of the south park episode on "bouncy calls" haha
The winners are @FtpIt_Radi @Kupol @cassa - Message me your VPS choice
@Drehmini and @add_iT - I'll throw in a free 256MB/6GB SSD VPS for three months just for participating in the first contest. Message me as well for details on how to sign up.
Also question 7 was "True". Where did anybody find something different on this?
Most times if you search for "ipv6 launch date" you'll find 2008, but that was the 10th anniversary.
Thanks for this free VPS!
Thanks for the VPS. Messaged.
RFC 2460 was published in 1998, but it was an ongoing effort that started in about 1994. Maybe that was the cause of confusion?
