I always wanted a good reputation system that would help to give proper credit to those that spend so much effort making this community as good as it is. With ITNinja we have that, and while a little friendly competition among peers is fun, many would agree "real" prizes are even better. So for starters, this what we've got for give-aways (and I'm working to add more)...
ITNinja Sticker

Does it go on your car? On your computer? Be one of the first 500 to get their Orange Belt (>176 points) and we'll send you one of these awesome ITNinja stickers!
ITNinja T-Shirt

Now you look good, but wouldn't you look better sporting one of these babies!?! The first 300 people to attain their Blue Belt (>351 points) will find one of these in the mail shortly thereafter.
ITNinja Black Belt

I'm pretty excited about this one. Above is just a mock and I'll upload a final when I have it, but for the first 100 people to get their Black belt (>1013 points) we'll be sending an embroided black belt in an ITNinja branded plastic case to keep as a trophy of this siginificant accomplishment!
How do you score points? It's easy, just participate! For details, please see the ITNinja Points section of our FAQ.
Please be sure to fill in your mailing address and t-shirt size in the "private" section of your user profile so we can ship these off to you!
NOTE: As of 3/18/2013 our supplies have not been exhausted on these items, but as they are this blog post will be updated accordingly.

I'm hoping they post to Australia :)
We will indeed be shipping internationally!

Yeah that was my thought also, from Denmark, so that's international shipping for them :o
We will ship to Denmark!
Amazing! Thanks :)

The challenge has been laid down before us...
Looks like my Taekwondo Black Belt!
You'll have to bust this one out and wear it to class!
next... throwing stars?!
Or small plush ninjas, that would be awesome :)
Hell yes to both haha!
this is awesome!
Throwing Stars would be awesome...I want to be a Geekie Ninja!
Sure could use those around the office!
This will be fun work! I wonder if we will get avatars.
Avatars are just on the profile page at the moment, but we plan to work them in throughout the site soon -- http://kace.uservoice.com/forums/139919-itninja/suggestions/2695452-avatars-on-forum-posts
I am still waiting for my black belt.......
I will get that black belt. That is my goal. I agree the throwing stars would be cool. Or even the thumbtack ones. Just put the it ninja logo on them. http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/supplies/b704/
The thumbtack stars were one of the first things I thought of for this.
Sweeet!
I wonder how much more time the guys around my office will be spending on ITninja trying to get the black belt?
No kidding.
The ITNinja sticker will look awesome on my office wall.
I think some ITNinja embroidered polo's would be cool. I might even pay for that. I think an IT Ninja Store is needed.
/agree!!
ITNinja store would be sweet
I agree!
Nice initiative!!!!!
a sword would be perfect to cookie cut the whole spectrum of hosting, iaas, paas and saas.
I think the rewards are cool. I am working really hard to add thing to the site so I can become an ITNinja
I want that black belt!!! Throwing stars would be awesome too!
David, congrats on reaching your black belt. I don't think I am too far behind you.
Nunchucks?
OOoooooh nunchucks!
What about India? Is it gonna be shipped here. O_o
Yes!
Actually I recently lost weight, so I could use a good belt.. here's hoping I'll make top 100 :D
How many points for an IT Ninja Katana?
I'm gonna wear that Black Belt around the head for our summer party, just to scare my co-workers.
Just curious if this stuff had started shipping yet?
We are putting the first shipment together now, I'll be posting an announcement as soon as I can confirm they are on their way!
good tshirt
Black belt come to papa!
I want them both those are sick
are these shipments still outgoing (just got my black belt)
and did I make it in top 100 for that matter? :D
We've been shipping shirts and stickers to those that provided addresses (those who did not provide that info will be getting emails this week). I'm looking into it, but I don't think any black belts have shipped yet (as of two weeks ago they were nearing the end of the production cycle so I'll look into that now!)
Is the contest is over or it is going on.... I am new starter....
Still plenty of stickers and shirts remain!
Got my t-shirt last week. I must admit. I feel like a ninja when I wear it. :)
Excellent to hear! You should!
Got my shirt as well. Now just waitning in excitement for my blackbelt :-)
I know you'll get there!
Are there still shirts left?
Yes, still plenty of shirts remaining!
Sweet. :)
Got my Ninja shirt today!
awesome!!!
Great, wear it with pride!
It sure would be cool to see some pics posted to our Facebook page of members in their ITNinja T-shirts! -- https://www.facebook.com/ITNinjaSite
I did that already!
Just saw that, thanks for being the first!!! https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10151198760054676&id=128951133849867

sweet I just made blue - though there's probably way more than 300 blue's by now :(
I want a shiiiiiiirrrrrtttt!
Worry not, we are still shipping shirts!
haha I'll put an itninja shirt on one of the sculptures at our art college campus!
that would be awesome!
I hope to post a pic of me and my shirt
Are there still stickers left, or are they gone already? And allow me to throw my vote in for a ITninja store. I'd pay $15-20 for a T-Shirt :)
Haha, just made blue! Are there still shirts left?
Yes!
Thanks for the update. :)
I think with this comment I am now a black belt. I'd be excited if I am one of the first 100.
You are!
I was the second black belt. :-) Just wondering when the black belt's will be shipping.
The black belt designs and prototype have finally been approved and should ship by the end of July!
Awesome news. Cant wait to see it.
I just got my T-shirt and sticker :-D
Have been drooling over it for past half an hour :)
Bob, where's my shirt? :( Can't wait to wear it. :D
Another batch of shirts just shipped out.
We are going to start sending tracking codes for the packages (shirts ship via fedex) so it will be a bit less of a mystery! Stickers are going out snail-mail with a stamp on an envelope so expect those to arrive very slowly ;)

Any updates on the black belts Bob?
The designs are all approved now (I didn't like the original display case). The belts are shipping for embroidery now so hopefully it won't be much longer!
Cool, I can't wait to see the final product.
I just received a second IT-ninja T-shirt..
Was kinda hoping it would have been a belt :)
mixup?
The black belts will still ship once we get them sorted. Getting a second shirt? Guess it must be your lucky day!
Thought maybe I'd just earned a second one.. :D
Are there any black belts left?
AHH! Keen for a Shirt :)
Lovin' the design ^_^
Waiting for my tee...... The address is correct ...
Got the sticker & tee.. Awesome.. thank u guys....
Finally made it to my black belt. :D I'm probably a little late to actually receive a real black belt though.
You were not too late! You've got one now right?
Just curious, any plans for red belts? Reached that level today is why I ask, of course...
John
I suggested a headband like Mr. Miyagi wears in Karate Kid.
Haha that's a really cool idea.
sounds good, i can smell my red belt....
Are there still belt to be won I'm closing in on my black belt?
Yes!
Are you still shipping black belts or did you run out?
Yes, we are still shipping black belts. Shipping is not speedy, but we've not run out of anything yet!
can i get a t-shirt
I'd like to get a shirt and the car sticker...
that black belt will look nice on my workstation...
My shirt and Sticker got here the other day, the shirt looks great and feels awesome. My co-workers were a little jealous lol
here is a great gift for red belts

Got my belt the other day. Really cool getting that as a surprise. http://s11.postimage.org/fhmoi29qr/20130222_173714.jpg
Awesome! Nice placement too!
Have all of these been won yet, or are there still belts up for grabs?
We are not out of these yet, but I will be sure to update this blog if and when that happens. With any luck, I'll be able to continue replenishing any items we run out of.
I got the sticker and Trying for T-Shirt

And the points for my black belt! I hope I get to see it soon!
Hey Bob, is there anything in the works for Grandmaster or can the community open that up for suggestions?
We do have a limited budget but suggestions are always welcome! UserVoice is probably the best place though, this post is way out of hand ;)
Without user input for that one they probably wouldn't give you a budget for it either. Good to know. I'll see if I have points left to get that one started.
