A Launch Contest!
Author: Sanjay31 Jul
Our coming out party is coming up, and we’re going to have a little contest to help us predict what’s going to happen. But first, a little info.
In response to popular demand, and because it’s the right thing to do, there is going to be a FREE version of Graboid. It won’t include download capability or 100% of the content, but it’ll include all the latest TV shows and movies at full streaming speeds.
There will be, of course, a premium version of the product that has all the functionality of our beta software (plus). You’ll be able to get that in a bandwidth limited (50 GB) or unlimited version, at $14.95 and $24.95 respectively.
So the contest. We have no idea how many people are going to want to sign up. But after we started an internal office pool, we realized maybe it would be fun to ask you to guess too. Here’s the question: How many free and premium users do you think will sign up in the first 24 hours after we release the software and do a complete website overhaul?
We’re not going to promote the launch at all other than a blog entry and the existence of a cool new website. Closest guess gets a free 1 month unlimited membership!
Just post your answers on the blog. How many free, how many premium, over the first 24 hours.
Please do not post comments requesting account or technical support, they will be deleted. For tech support go to our user forum, and for account questions, use our contact form.

What? So you’ve been telling everyone who wasn’t in the beta to “join the launch notification list” and you’re not going to send them an email?
I predict 2976
[moderator: Actually, when we send a notification, we'll send it to the launch notification list. But we don't want a flood of opening day activity. The launch notice will likely go out within 24-48 hours after the soft launch.]
So, will beta users going to be notified?
prediction
free=9180
paid=852
[moderator: we'll notify beta users after the first 24 hours. Other than that, the blog notice will be the only thing]
Ok, here’s my predictions:
Free: 5,000
Pay: 800
Thanks for including us in the pool!
I also predict that the free folk will want to expand into the pay tiers and that most folk will start out free and then transition in, especially those who aren’t yet familiar with Graboid.
Ever the optimist!
Free: 10k
Pay: 500
I guess it’s more wishful thinking than a logical prediction. *sigh*
free: 1800
pay: 100
I predict….
-100 Billion!
I mean sure, there isn’t even that many people on the planet, but wouldn’t it be nice???
By the way, Your new layout was up for a minute and I signed up on it, but I went back to the homepage and it was back to the old layout…. luckily I was able to create my account before ya’ll reverted back! Now I’m trying to download a movie and the SOB won’t buffer!
Personally, I blame Jesus!
[moderation: lucky you! if you want to use a newly created account you MUST upgrade to 0.9.01]
Will do!
P.S. I still predict 100 billion!
Ah hell, it works now… you folks at Graboid are GENIUSES!
Too bad everytime I hear the name I think of “Tremors”!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention earlier that the new layout looks pretty good. I might actually have to dump my subscription with Vongo now!
I predict 360 paid
1100 free
1450 free
75 paid
74 Paid
1099 Free
100 paid 3500 free
250 paid, 5000 free
