because the Board Guides are volunteers and do what they can when they can, they arent paid at all. Some of the comps that have an ending date of today will close at various times through the day

Personally I dont have a problem with when comps are moved as I just go through the boards and do the comps I want to and if I miss some then so be it:D

Help,

I usually do the comps ending and use the usual search facility, but have got a day or 2 behind so all the comps that end today (28th) have already been moved - when I try and find them in gaem over I am struggling! Is there a quick way to see them - there are over 5000 pages in game over and I am really struggling!

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

I posted this in the Comps Guide thread before, but I find them quite easily even in game over now the expiry date is all the same. Just takes a little longer than in main. You select to display by thread title as normal and...

Sugarscape is an online magazine aimed at the teen market (12-18) - but there is nothing in the T&C's to discount older peoples entries. See:

Sugarscape.com is a successor of the official sugar magazine website.
The purpose of sugarscape.com is to enable the target audience, mainly teenage girls, to both read content which they would be interested in, to share links on the net which they find interesting, and also to follow other links posted by other users

discussion over on loquax about it, they have got the isp involved, seems strange there have been no winners

I'd forgotten about this one too, hope they sort it out and some start turning up

I did wonder about the News Of The World/Birds Eye Freezer comp too. They had 150 to give away and I only saw one person from here that said they got one. I would have thought the odds would be quite high of a few coming here, or perhaps that's a bit naive of me? It's difficult to get your head around the numbers of entrants that might be involved.

There were a lot more freezer winners than that here

so with 1000 consoles you would expect at least 1!
