    I must be naive as I didnt realise there were people out there reading our posts on here and replicating them on other forums. Why the hell do they do that? Why not just join this forum?

  • Just followed the link Foo posted to the DIB website and it looks like people were pm'ing the poster and not Foo over here on MSE.
    It looks like Foo will just have to do the draw from the people that did pm her, such a shame I saw lots of the posts on the thread which was where I posted too and there were some lovely lovely messages.
    Right I'm off to do some lunch for my little ones, will be coming on here to congratulate the winner later hopefully.

    I actually cannot believe how low some people will step and post on another website about your win. I do feel very sorry for you Foo. I was one of the MS'ers who left a post on here the first time and saw no wrong in you offering your prize to benefit someone else, very kind of you indeed. Keep smiling hun :) x

    what about if you look through the names you have already and use those and also any others you have found out about today perhaps and just include those who you can see from the thanks originally entered the competition in the first place. That way it should go to someone who really wanted the prize in the first place and was just not lucky enough to win it in the first instance?

    I think that's a great idea, checking the thanks on the comp with the names in the hat. As claire said, at least that way it would go to someone who actually entered it, hoping to win.

    Once again, so sorry Foo that this fantastic act of generosity has turned out like this. Don't feel bad, you are a star :A
    If at first you don't succeed ........ ;) Alternative autism therapies should be free!!
  • yeah you should specify only registered users of this site, wouldnt that narrow the "dibbers" out
    Wins,Hammerfest weekender tickets,Chris Rea Tickets,more Chris Rea Tickets,
  • This really is a great shame, and I do feel for foo, but if you can not find any other option I would suggest letting the competition promotion people draw an other name from those who originally entered.

    Once again many thanks for thinking of others!

    they're likely members here as well...
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    I doubt many of them came here, they were all a bit stoopid and pm'd the poster on the site. HA HA :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    What about if you just do a list with all the names you have already and then anyone else who you didn't get chance to see can list their name as well, like we do on the comp prizes posts. Then enter all the user names in a hat but it's all on the board and nothing is "behind the scenes"???? Or even ask a mod to do the draw?

    I couldn't enter the comp due to oh not being 30 and 3 of us needing passports!!!
