Competitions Discussion Thread Part 7

princessmoneysaver

All I know about the comp ending threads is no more to be posted UNTIL the BG's have discussed it together & come up with a decision either way.

For all those who have PM'd me I will tell you all here I AM NOT TAKING ANY NAMES until the above happens HTH

Great, Ive only been asking a fortnight whats happening and no !!!!!! told me that they were finishing in sept - infact I was promised notice that they would be gone

Thanks folks It's not as difficult as I imagined! I'm gonna enter all the 1st Sept comps this way and then do an all-nighter to get myself up to date...

edit: Hmm I found a cluster of about 20 and then can't find anymore. Have they all been moved to gameover? *confused*

To be honest this discussion has been going on long enough nowfor people to realise the comps ending threads could be stopping for a bit at the end of this month, so people should of taken notice of that rather than worrying they have missed comps out now.

I might of missed a few comps out but I'm not bothered, theres plenty of comps to keep everyone going so why does it matter, I refuse to have the spoilt attitude that some people have. Like I keep saying its not the end of the world

A decision hasn't been made yet so rather than spending time moaning about it just get on with it. Sorry if I seem like I'm having a go, its just some people don't want to even try and its only a list so why the big fuss... sometimes feels like a group of spoilt children argueing not using the comps ending list can actually work out quicker than using comps ending. I'm not having a go, I just think theres no point in this discussion because we can't do anything about it till a decision is made

That's the spirit greyskittles! Good luck with getting up to date & if you need any more support then just ask

We were told that comps ending might be stopped in September as far as I am aware. seems like people only see the comments they want to see and totally ignore the ones they don't agree with

Theres usually 2 or 3 clusters of comps. you will get used to it and find it easier as you go along. Great to see someone making positive remarks :T

I enter comps as they are posted too, that way it gets to the ones ending and you've already entered them

How come comps are getting moved to game over before they are game over then?

Luckily I had done the 1st Sept anyway but surely thats not right?

Hi claire I know this forum runs so well that you'd think people were being paid to keep it so ship shape! However, the Board guides are the ones who keep it all nice & tidy for us & they are volunteers.

What this means it that whenever they get the chance is when they do their tidying up. This can mean that comps move to Game Over a day early as sometimes there are just so many threads to be moved that they need to get a head start on all that work - I'm sure you understand

If you try the search tips in the Comping Guide which Cheeky Chicken posted up in the old discussion thread & I then quoted in this thread (post number 36), it won't matter to you which forum the comps are in (Comps Time or Game Over) as the Google search looks at the whole site

I know you didn't mean to come across as ungrateful which is why I'm answering you as quickly as I can so others can see you now have your answer

I don't mind now

All the tips from Laura and others have really helped me search, and not just do the lists

Thanks to all that have helped

When you first start comping without using the comps ending it is harder, but once you're used to it it really saves time. Remember though, a decision hasn't been made yet so the lists might not be gone totally. Its good not having to rely on them though

Right I'm off to have some lunch, yum yum
