    Right I've just started the Challenge to do the comps.
    I've worked out that if I do around 5 pages a day at least (because I'm only briefly at the computer each day), then I should be pretty much up to date within the next month.
    Obviously some days will be more than others, but life comes first.



    And that I completely agree with jim.

    Mmmm bad news is that sometimes there are 5 pages posted a day. I go to bed about 10 - 11 pm and come back at 5pm and have to catch up from page 8-10. Lots of those are bumped threads though cause I don't sort by thread start date :D

    PS: Good Luck - It's definitely Do-able! :D

    I'm seriously considering leaving this forum!! the discussion about comps ending is now going on in the comps ending thread too and I just feel like people are doing it on purpose. It used to be friendly on here!!


    Sorry but I dont see why discussing it is a big issue to you, if you dont like the discussion then maybe you shouldnt open the thread and read it.

    Also why do you think its on purpose? its called airing an opinion which is what i thought forums were all about.

    The comp ending thread is a great help to many users and the thanks shows, why on earth people need to moan is beyond me !! yes it used to be friendly before people started trying to dictate what we talk about or what is posted!

    If people dont like the Ending list then dont click on it but why try to stop it ? All that is doing is hurting those that find it very helpful!!:mad:

    Rant over:D

    If you looked into it properly you would know its not people trying to stop it, this all started because people who compile the comps ending lists (including me) were getting nasty comments and PMs just because they had missed something off etc... also people wern't following the rules which are set out... so its not because people are against them and want them to be stopped. I actually compiled the comps ending for the 31st and it took me a very long time, I just don't agree with it when people are going to shoot you down after spending all that time trying to help people, (I don't mean you I mean the people who PM complaining).

    I don't have a problem with discussing it, I was just saying I think it is POINTLESS when theres nothing we can do about it, its down to the BGs, if you had taken notice in the discussion board over the past few weeks you would already know all this and know that I dont actually mind if the compsn ending stay or go, but I do agree with the people that want the comps ending lists gone!!
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    Aw, thats not right, you need some time too.

    You did a fab job clearing up, I am happy to help out in any way I can if you need it, I'm just never very sure what to do with expired/dead comps, etc. Did you still need help with the reg comps or did you get enough, as I have time in the evenings if that is any use?

    thanks very much for the offer i will keep you in mind. I have done with clearing up for the day!!

    I am trying to win a laptop for little miss divadee's xmas pressie. I will win!!

    Its the first comps I have entered in months, so im being a bit impatient lol :D

    I happened to have been away for the last 2 weeks on a holiday i wont from this board so im sorry if i have missed bits but.... the whole point of discussing it isnt POINTLESS as discussing it show the BG's what the users want . If you are getting PM's of complaints then you need to take that up with the BG's so they can then have a quiet word with those that are doing the PMing and if they persist then then action can be taken.

    I for one dont complain when someone is taking thier time to help the board and those that do should be ashamed of themselves, I think comp ending is a great idea and helps many as i said before and anyone that moans should get of their botty and add the missed to the list instead of complaining (which would be quicker and more help to users)

    My original post wasnt having a go at you but in general and would not want anyone to leave but it does sound a bit childish (im taking my ball etc) again not a dig just a observation of how is comes across :rotfl:

    Oh btw i didnt mean you wanted it stopped :)
