I realized it was a scam. What still bother’s me is that LiewCF was a judge in hies earlier competition. I think Liew might know him. You may want to ask him about this dude.

Re kcyap (ahkhiong - justin yap) - kcyap.com.
The real person behind the posting of daily entries in 2dayblog.com is Malaysian Justin Yap. Justin’s own website is kcyap.com but he committed a wordpress contest scam earlier this year and he is now hiding behind the 2dayblog.com website. His website kcyap.com is now redirected to 2dayblog.com. If you type “kcyap +scam” in Google search box, you can view pages relating to the scam committed by kcyap.

@root
AhKiong sais that the themes will be released to public after the competition.

Mistakenly I deleted the comment instead of deleting a spam next to it.

Will the themes be released to the public, like those submitted to Alex King’s (alexking.org) contest?
