In the words of Cliff: It's so funny...
...how we don't talk anymore. I'm wondering how many compers here do/don't bother much with CCC these days? I think I can remember when this part of the forum was posted on a lot more than it is now. Not just for important comping issues, but also for a bit of light hearted comping fun. Is it just me who misses that?…

Missing comps when sorting by end date
I'm back to comping after a 5 year break and things have changed a little...... I've been back for a couple of months and have got to grips with the new way to filter on end date and also having a play around with the new search facility, but what I have noticed over the last couple of days is that even though I've sorted…
Instagram comps - wins?
I was entering Instagram comps heavily in 2019 and my general win ratio was around 2-3 per week. I know it’s the luck of the draw but the odds seemed much better than web-based comps and once you build up a network it’s really quick to do. I’ve been back for about a month and won one runner up prize on IG. I did also have…
Word Twister
I'm a long-time Word Twister player. The regular game is fine, but the daily Challenge won't load. I get a message for 2 fixes -- they do not help. Then I am advised to "contact us." How do I fix this?
Mag Dailies
Does anyone do these daily on multiple sites? i enter them once as they pop up otherwise my comping day would be taken up spending all my time on them. Also they never announce winners so I wonder if it is even worth doing them? They are so monotonous to keep filling in...is there an easier way?
Charity Prize draw cancelled after thousands of entries
This is a bit sad... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-58413707 especially as MSE is partially implicated in why they had to cancel it. I can't find the thread where it was "advertised as a free draw" (if it was indeed in the forum) but wonder if this is an unintended side-effect of having a rule of never…
Worst prize you've ever received
Ok, so the competition I entered was to win one of TEN of the Fisherman's friend exclusive mixed flavour tins...…I didn't expect it to be just a flippin' tin!!! No lozenges just an empty tin. This has definitely been my worst win ever, lol It's from this comp if you fancied winning the bit that most people throw away when…
