Gigabyte GTX780 Treasure Hunt

Ok.. I've found Pedobear image, inside a page... But no chicken... Counting more than 720 pages views right now..
 
Well, I'm guessing the pic is an ad placed on a page somewhere on a review/article. If that's the case I have a feeling it's not going to show for everyone unless Tom set it static.

I'm just not finding it anywhere, and I'm halfway done with both the reviews and articles. I'm looking at stuff posted back in 2010 now.
 
i have been a youtube video watcher and forum lurker for months now and this comp made me sign up for an account.

now to find the pic, and read the forums.

here we go.
 
Morning moles!
I've been going through all articles (and all pages and comment section for each article) from here http://www.overclock3d.net/content/1/1 until here http://www.overclock3d.net/content/60/1 with no luck.
Either something is still messed up or I am shit out of luck or the picture is in the rest of the articles until http://www.overclock3d.net/content/130/1.
And no, the above is not a hint because I might have missed it myself or my addons are still not completely disabled.
Either way, today I'm calling in sick again at work :cool:
Happy hunting!
P.S. I've put less work into my graduate school than I am compared to this damn contest.
 
ahhahaha, the articles list didn't load for me properly, so at page 51 there's this competition article again. Being "in the zone" I didn't realise immediately...

Feels like winning the lottery, but division 7 where you get back less than you paid for the ticket :)

Back to the grindstone
 
I mentioned previously that the articles section is messed up, you'll be at 2010 articles and suddenly on the next page you're back to article one, it's totally random and has thrown me off badly.
 
On the other hand, going through all these articles one can uncover lost treasure :cool:

Is that a sneakily placed hint? ^_^

EDIT: TTL, you sly dog, you!

No, not at all. I'm saying that I had to turn off my ad block to finally see it. I missed it the first time. I'm not dropping any hints and ruining my chance of actually winning something!!
Oh, and for those of you PM'ing me asking for help...... NO...cheaters... :mad:

Honestly, once you find it you'll see it's not as hard as you think. Just takes some time and detective work. I gotta say that it was really frustrating but I felt like I found a Wonka golden ticket when I found it! I kept the page open for a bit and refreshed it just to make sure I was seeing the right picture. Then copied the URL twice to a text doc before sending it in.
But as I stated before, there's some excellent reading on this site, if nothing else, I'm glad I signed up just for that!

I couldn't see the ads EVEN after disabling AdBlock. So I looked deeeeeeeep into the noscript settings and that did it. You're gonna have to allow those googleadservices, quantserve, doubleclick etc sites... :O
 
Not sure what you mean but if you mean "I got it wrong, do I get another chance?" ... read the rules, you get one chance...

In the OP TTL has listed a bunch of incorrect entries correct as of 04/09, just wondering if they would be updated...

Felt and did exactly the same thing. Even opened another browser and posted the link there to make sure it came up correctly before sending it in.

Yeah, I posted a brief message in the introduction. I've read reviews and articles here for ages when researching computer components, studying up, and the like, just hadn't signed up previously. Contest made the decision to sign up an easy one. Right now though, time to get back to work and make up for a bit of lost clock time searching for chicken dinner. :lol:
