Were you planning this since long.. Good initiative.. People already love Indianpad too much (Which I could see in year end mails.. ) and now there would be good competition among all of them.. Kudos!

A user can only win ‘User of the Month’ once a year but they are always eligible for ‘User of the Year’.

Chalo shayad ek bar mera number aa hi jaye gaa

Published – Number of your stories that were published (Factor 10)

HSV has the highest publish rate of 81%
so congrts in advance

lol…i am off from this general section to adult section

@Indianpad: prizes…:)
Pocket money ka intazaam ho jata to Janaab ki bhaut meharbani hoti… ya phir rapidshare ka account de do… mujhe bhut saari movies download karni hai

@Devil – I have totally move to DivShare for uploading and I would suggest that you tell your friends to do the same. No limits or waiting…

@IndianPad – Are anonymous votes counted in this?

it should be called indianpadder of the month
“user of the month title is just too cliche “

IPadite or IPadder .. Hows it?

ipadder sounds much cool

Are adult stories included in this? IMO, they should be excluded.

Also, ipadder of the month’ is much better

IMO – adult stories should be included but only User votes should count

@beach – only votes by registered users are counted for calculating the rank and stories in the adult category are currently being included.

What do other users think – Should we include the adult category for rank or no?

IMO excluding adult posts wont do justice to quality posters like HSV bhai and Masala Guru…Dont forget from which section we get more of the traffic.

I would stand by,with the inclusion of adult posts in algorithm.But the ranking should strictly be in accordance with the registered user votes.

no adult posts should be counted…they are not useful…i mean on a padding site we don’t come to chill our eyes, and if those are counted, maybe useful stories will be left behind…

Thats fantastic! At least this will motivate users to do more voting. “Ipadder of the Month(IOM)” sounds much better…
Adult stories should be counted or not? thats debatable point….As most of the traffic comes for adult section, it should be included. However, it may hamper regular stories..
About prises…I think “Ipadder of Month” is more than a prise reward…i dont expect prise money but something useful for blogger is appreciated…

show me the money!

good discussion going on. I just want to assure, whether you guys include adult stories or not, my contribution quality will remain as it is and get better.

Suggestion: Anonymous votes can be considered with lowest value compared to registered votes (1:10) otherwise exclude them completely.

If you decide to remove adult stories completely from competition, a bit sad news, but it’s ok.. because I also come to IPad to read general news indeed

@garamvideos – show me the babe

@gd garam’s babes are always just a click away

@gd007 – Naughty Boy!!

hotsexy – you calling me a naughty boy is the biggest irony on the net. you and garam are responsible for it anyway.

Good proposal for active participants…..Hamara kya hoga kalia (Indianpad)
‘Ipadder’ of the month sounds nice , till somebody comes up with something better.

1) Ipaddit of the month

2) Ipaaddite of the month

3) Ipadder is perfectly fine in all ways…

As per the suggestions, the feature has been renamed ‘IPadder of the Month’ and the link has been moved to front page.

We are still debating the prizes and we have only contender as of now. Please chime in with your comments if you have a suggestion…

• Rapidshare Account

How about some cash …

Site hosting on indianpad server- i’m asking this because i wanted to start a forum site…maybe a site registration only, it is $10 on Google for a year’s registration

@hsv kettle pot black?

@ garam What you mean.. Sorry. I was away from this story for some time.

@ gd007 Garam bhai aur Hum yehi to chahte hain ki tum buddhe ho jao lekin hume aapki khatir karne do (only through out naughty posts.. hehe)

@ Indianpad Thanks bro, for chosing my suggested name – IPadder.

@ all – Looks like I might soon come out of competition, I could access IPad for 18 hrs before, now it’s restricted to 5-6 hrs during week days. I know it’s sad, but I cannot help it.

Prize money – Something global.. rapidshare account is good suggestion, but not everyone look for it.. and giving across money is not some creative idea.. Lets keep it hanging..

Alright, here is the announcement (Unofficial)
If prize not decided by 31st Jan, the prize distribution will take place on 31st Dec 2007. Please take a note of it. Hehe!

If you ever allow anonymous votes to be counted in IPadder ranking, my story about Ronaldo’s Ex with her boyfriend posted 2 days back, gonna give me 1st rank.. 125 total votes and still counting.. (Did not give the link, as it goes to adult section). Gimme the points for anon votes.. pls pls.. hehe!

How about featured link to the poster’s blog/website from IP home page for a prize?

If I ever win, I am sure IP won’t like to link to my blog, atleast from homepage. It will be against the rules. Yeah nice videos may be linked though.

How about IPadder and IPadder-adult, separating two IPadder of the month :D.

@ipad! Any prizes decided ?

Koi gift hume dede thakur!

OMG! I just noticed that devil bhai is now #1.
devil - congrats on conquering the IPad Godzilla Amiable!! amiable – there are still 13 more days to go…

Yes me too just observed it.. Cool, congrats little bro!

The month end is fast approaching and there have not been many ideas for prizes that we can offer. There are 3 ideas that make some sense…

• A new Domain Name and a Year of hosting at Dreamhost
• Rapidshare Accounts
• Place the winners site on the front page (maybe on the sidebar) so that they get traffic from us.

Any other ideas?

Apna Sapne money Money…kya Kehte ho ?

@tollywood bhai – Points se rapidshare milega kya?...nai to ek month ki maehnat ko sacrifice karna padegaa…

the third option is the best one but what about the users who dont link their sites
what about giving 5 or may be 6 additional karma points to the winner i wont mind that

I dun favour the third option..anyone with a better suggestion?....

@ipad – take ur time deciding prizes..Main jaldi me nahi hun

Devil is always right….

Apna sapna money money…(not right now..i know i am out of the race..but i am waiting to get rid off six months ..once devil,spence,ami,avksi, hsv ka number ho jayega tab mera number jarur ayega

so right now i am not in jurry..may be six months later ipad will give you bigger prize

Damn, it seems that indianboy is going to challenge devil for the top spot!

OOPs!...i’ll have to Double My labour ….But the diff b/w Sent,Published,commts rcvd/given,votes rcvd, Bahut Zyada Hai…

Still I’ll Take A Step on Today…Dekhte Hain Kya Hota Hai

indianboy has come from nowhere in the frame to right out in front of the frame. He has been posting many many stories and most of them published. Wonder from where the heck he gets all the time to do so.

Placing the winners site on the front page is only applicable to the ones having a site.

Bhai Logon…Koi Mast prize Decide Karo Naa

wat i think is to provide the winner with a own website
mind you not a blog

The only best option is

Hard Cash $100

Good Suggestion Munna

One Q

How will ranking be calculated after every month? suppose this months winner is Devil(upss not suppose ..he is ) so he will not be included for next month. But for comming months how wil be calculation? will previous months points be included or is it that there will be fresh start. Cos if previous ranking is considered then there will be no scope for new commers…plz clarify

Every month…A new refreshed page..But All those points will be calculated in User of the Year Award for which indianpad will surely create a new page – User of The Year or may be A Surprise @ Dec 31 2007

how about making it an option to the winner. I prefer the link from home page, but it will not apply to some of the users. I would love that, but I am nowhere to be seen in the list.

Somehow I got a gut feel, that Indianboy is someone who already knows Indianpad very well. I did not see him very active in past. It’s unlikely that some one new comes, and start posting the stories one by one right away… that needs a xing which comes over the period of time.. Well.. Just my two cents on sahaj’s comment. Or he may be too old buddy in Social bookmarking network. Whatever it’s I am happy with his stories.

Indianboy, is it the IPadder the month, which drives you to grab the top position.. – Good for us, if we get to see 3-4 more users like him.. We need more posters, and commenters like him.

indianboy has come from nowhere in the frame to right out in front of the frame. He has been posting many many stories and most of them published.

We may take gd007’s suggestion and give multiple options to the winner of ‘User of the Month’. Money, fame, accounts, hosting, subscriptions, etc. may all be in the list.

Surprisingly it was really easy to decide a great prize for ‘User of the Year’. Lets just say that its a product that everybody has been talking about…

iphone? OMG indianpad… I Love You Darling

@indianpad – What alogrithm we are following up for user of the year?

On what basis u’ll calculate the points …:S

indianpad rocks

This year would be remembered in history of indianpad – The hardworkin Devil :D

indianpad – is there a prize for suggesting that? there is no way i will get any prize for sure.

The competition will hotten up devil as you say that Iphone may be the prize for user of the year…

Where is the ‘Ipadder of the Jan’...ofcourse its Devil (hummm its against the history…kya kare its ‘Kaliyug…yaha to Devil hi raj karege…)
When will be the official annoncement ? I am eager to congrats Devil….

– though no more awards after this, i still wanna rule that page

I just saw that Evie landed in directly at number 13. This proves that even new users can pretty quickly displace older veterans…

Also, has anybody seen sahaj_jeopardized recently?

sahaj is a 10th class boy so board exams beckons

Looks like munnacircuit wins the ipadder of feb award but he couldn’t dethrone devil from number 1 spot
hell we need amiableindian back so there is some competition :D

My board exams ended in Nov. becuase I’m a IGCSE Student, UCLES... I’m happier than all other 10th graders, My Exile Story

Thanks a Lot for Missing me-:-)

It seems no body can beat Devil (or nobody has that much free time as devil just kidding)...hats off to devil for his hardwork and maintaining the reput..
and congrats to indianboy for this months ipadder

Indianboy – Happy April fools Day and Best Wishes For the Award..You could have won it and you know that, but stepping out at the crucial period did bury the hopes,charge of both of us..you are gr8 to compete with and this month has crashed my stats with most of them not-published though some deserved better than what they got.

Anyways, you Rock! Happy padding!
Happy April Fools Day :D and do let us know what you choose

@munna – yup, i am the most vela person on indianpad, though spencer seems to give me regular competition ..lol..

BTW i am the mose talkative person on indianpad too..look @ those comments :D

@indinpad – don’t you realize how stupid i look chatting irrelevant topics on stories as comments.I need a chat box..please

Indianboy – Happy April fools Day and Best Wishes For the Award..You could have won it and you know that, but stepping out at the crucial period did bury the hopes,charge of both of us..you are gr8 to compete with and this month has crashed my stats with most of them not-published though some deserved better than what they got.

Thanks Devil! You are the best! ) I should be blaming ‘Economics’ for my loss Ha Ha

Anyways, you Rock! Happy padding!
Happy April Fools Day :D and do let us know what you choose

Same 2 you and will consult before I choose anything. For me it was more of fun then winning that mattered and sure the competition was one hell of a fight which I will remember for a long time to come :))

Exactly! i Loved It…

Congrats Indianboy! You definitely battled it out hard I was truly trying to compete for a while – but you worked really hard and it seems like you guys didn’t even think of me as competition anyway I hope this month I can wow you a little better… Anyway hope you enjoy your prize and again great work!

Best of Luck Evie…..

I just saw that some awesome sorting capabilities have been added to the IPadder of the Month Page. Is this new or did I just miss it earlier? – http://www.indianpad.com/rank

UPDATE – Dang! This thing is super fast…

Whats that all about? Doin nuthin other than smashing me to the bottom of the page :o (damn! These smylies wont work)

@devil – I think beach is pointing to the new sorting feature on the IPadder page. You can click on any column header to sort by it.

@beach – This looks new as it wasn’t there a couple of days ago.

April 2007 : Spencer vs Evie

Evie: Now I need the “booze belt” to celebrate….Congratulations,(The first Lady Ipadder of Indianpad)....this is the beginning.

@Spencer Bro..i had my money on you, but u.. as always, relxaed + chilled out = chillaxing ..Well done..

The ranking page seems to be down for me today. Not sure if I’m the only one facing the problem.

no its working fine for me

It seems ‘Indianboy’ wants another ipadder of month award

The stats page is working fine now..

Munna, I have already won it in March. I’m just giving competition bcoz this is really turning out to be an exciting month except that, Devil is missing.

It was nice to see a couple of my stories on the front page.It’s getting tougher and tougher.I doubt if i’ll make it to that spot again …

Anyways, papers getting over on 4th, hope to see some exciting stuff…

Indianboy : when is the marriage?

Don’t worry devil…Indianboy will be bzy soon wit his wedding

@indianboy – I completely forgot that you have won the ‘Ipadder of the month’ earlier… You gave me a scare there…

ck_rish…you are not a good marketer..(You always forget that you are the winner of this month )

I guess you are right munna… Seeing indianboy on the top of the list jolted me… And like indianboy said, it is good to have a competition…

Devil, Next year!! Hope to see you in action soon..

Ck_rish, Congratzzz for May Ipadder of the month award. Truly deserving. I guess seeing me on top made you post 55 stories in a day.

This stay away has not been that pleasing for me… i have gathered too much TNT within me and i am just waiting to explode… Damn! Staying online on Indianpad is worth dumping your girlfriend… :D (4 days to go :D )

@rish – awesome man, i liked your attitude “I am married yet i take out ample time for indianpad” ..That inspired me

and gr8 win, congrats for the wonderful job
(i’ll make your certificate soon )

Thanks guys… It would not have been possible without your help (voting)...

@indianboy – And yeah, seeing you on the top gave me a wake up call and I posted 55 stories in a day .

@devil – I’m eagerly waiting for your certificate so that I can put it up in my office…

We will be adding some new factors to determine the ranking. We hope these will encourage constructive commenting and also control the rampant voting on the site.

• Comment Votes – Number of Votes on your comments (Factor of 2)
• Disabled Votes – If you vote for a story which is later disabled by negative votes (Factor of -3)

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome!

If a user votes for lame story which gets voted down (factor -5)

Great move! I hope this will encourage users to participate in comments and vote wisely…

@spencer – I think -3 is good to start with. -5 is only needed if things get really bad!

Great! The new page looks better and its much easier to read/understand as well…

Congratzz Spencer, Finally I’m happy to see you as “Ipadder of Month”. Great stories from you as always. Good Luck!!

Its mowbrays vs Krypton this time around

don’t worry bro somebody’s gonna win it
but who ever wins it should win it by getting the top spot
then it will be a win not otherwise i feel that way

congrats krypton, you have won, no offense but your publish rate sucks

Congrats Krypton. Yes! Quality is better than Quantity but @indianpad Kucch bhi ho sakta hai

@spencer – the speed at which the top 3 were posting, i was given a run for my iphone even my publish rate sucked big time.

I am not sure if i am going to get it this year.I need to pack my bags..It’s gonna be an iphone or CAT

Congrats Krypton I am amazed how you post so many stories everyday…but like Spencer mentioned you need to look at your publish rate…anyway enjoy the rewards…Good day everyone!!!

Did you guys notice considerable change in ipadder rankings due to change in algorithm?

lol. Tables turned big time. I would be curious to know the latest algoritham for calculating the points.

Congratzzz Goutami. Good luck man..

Nice work Goutami… Keep it rolling… Congrats

Thanks all Ipader.

November-2007 — Who win the Monthly Ipader?

Congratzzz Pavlusha. Good luck man..
