Not to highjack this thread, but a few years back I won a small contest here on Scubaboard and never recieved my prize, contacted them a few months later as to my prize they (Scubaboard) apologised and said they would post it to me. (Still Waiting)
The following is the original message I received from Scubaboard back in 2005.
Congradulations, you're a winner in the 2005 Fall Diver Dude contest
Congratulations again, your entry to the diver dude photo contest was among the top 3 submissions. Unfortunately some technical issues have prevented us from displaying the vote totals but we have confirmed the scores internally. Thank you for entering and now for the best part... your prize!
ScubaBoard will be sending you a goodie bag filled with a small assortment of items. To do this we will need your full name, mailing address and the shirt size. We also will be creating a special badge that you can use in your account, I will inform you when this is complete. Please allow 4 weeks for your prizes to arrive.
Once again thank you for entering the contest and submitting your wonderful photo!

Ouch, NetDoc - kettle meet pot. In multiple ways. Pete, usually you are very good about educating yourself when controversy arises. But come on just because the thread is not scubaboard does not mean the problem does not exists. And if did you read the thread other people did mention that they submit a credit card that was charge yet no prize.
To whit:
"I just spoke with Susan Mears, one of the people I mentioned above and whose name is also on the banner that has been posted earlier. She did not use an AmEx card for her entry fee, her card was charged for the fee, and she has been unable to get any response regarding her prize."
