    What can I say. This is why I love pigsback, just when things get boring something good happens. Love the Easter Egg Hunt and all the extra points from quizzes etc. Keep up the good work.

    High traffic = More advertisers = More points = More rewards.

    But does it mean more purchases made via PB? Because if not:

    Fewer purchases = fewer advertisers = fewer points = fewer members = fewer advertisers (and round and round again).

    PB is busy and exciting at the moment for us members. Well done to them.

    Ive been a member for around a year now and i too havent won the quiz (yet :D ). However, im sure i remember seeing somewhere that they had at the time around 300,000 members in the UK (which im sure has grown rapidly over the past few months) and with usually at least 3 seperate quizes running each day i think it is inevitable that 1) it'll take a while before each member wins a prize due to the sheer number of members and 2) with more than 1 quiz running each day im guessing it's also quite likely and possible that some people hit the luck of the draw and win one of each within a few months/weeks etc. Im sure over the next few months we'll hit lucky too :j
    The thing is, though, that we've had so many recurring winners: we're not talking just a couple of people winning more than once in a space of a few months (which I would understand), but we've had numerous occasions of people winning the same quiz within a few days -- that just doesn't sound right to me...

    We've also had winners announced for days when there was no quiz running... :confused: I just think there's something going on with their systems that nobody is bothered to look into. :rolleyes:

    Looking at winners' names every day, I'd say there's at least four or five a week that have won before. Are they just very lucky people? :think:

    Well, I won 1000 points nearly 2 weeks ago, and have not won since.... so if there is a problem with it, why ain't i won again?
    I can't see a problem, maybe you should record all the names of winners for a while and then you can prove if your right or not

    I'm not saying everyone wins more than once in a row. I just said more people do than I would expect.
