    God please don't post individually on the main board, it will be a nightmare for the BG's and everyone else that has little time in comping wading through all these. Leave them in the CWT thread.

    am glad someone agrees with what I've been saying

    Posting each CTW comp individually is going to be a nightmare, not to mention a stupid amount of additional work for the regular posters who do an amazing job as it is to keep up with them all.

    As mentioned by mjm3346 there are over 1000 comps currently across over 70 CTWs :eek:

    And I agree with Leanne200. There are already 25 pages a day of comps on average. Adding CTWs individually is going to massively increase that, which isn't going to help those compers that only get a few hours at one point of the day to catch up with all the ones posted since their last visit.

    I think the problem is, because the CTWs have not been posted on the main board before, to post them all now would swamp it.

    If they had been posted one or two a day, similar to the daily magazines it would be much more manageable for everyone. (I know there tend to be about 5 on a Tuesday for each mag, but that is still quite manageable)

    Im a great believer in everything being posted on the main board, that way, it gives everyone an opportunity to enter every competition, should they wish to, even if its only once, due to the different ways so many people choose to comp.

    However, if there really are as many as people are saying (i only use the main board, i have no idea what goes on with the sub boards) maybe only new ones should be put on the main board, rather than go through all of them - and if anyone wants to wade through all the others when entering thats up to them. Eventually, they would all be listed on the main board, as they should be.

    seems as though there are over 40 CTW's sites most with the same prizes, no questions, no answers required maybe they would all have their own headings ?
    going to be a long list for them.

    but you are the one who has started posting them ....! are you saying you dont want them on the main board?
  • Sorry, I didn't mean to start an argument. I didn't even realise it was a click to win as I don't enter dailies and wasn't aware there was a separate thread.

    I'm happy to keep them off the main board as I don't have time to enter them but if they are on the main board I'll just click the red boxes and ignore them.

    To add my two-penneth-worth...

    please DO NOT start adding these to the main board PLEEEEAAASSSE!

    I know the daily mags debate and can see why they were added to the main board, but the CTWs are a stretch TOO far. The only way it could work in my mind, is for the prize to be listed and then in that post ALL the CTW sites that list it (but note this could number 40+ sites just for one shared prize!! :eek:) but surely there is no benefit to posting each and every CTW prize for each and every CTW site - that WOULD be madness; it would clutter the board, and make a huge amount of work for individuals to post every one (I'd be amazed if anyone volunteered for this huge task!) I strongly believe it would make the main board a nightmare for users and BGs alike, and I can't see any benefit to the community whatsoever to do this. The CTW thread is fine, surely? :cool:

    Harumph - my rant is over ;):D

    I get bogged down with the main board as it is... having click to wins on it will be a nightmare.
