This is a co-op, we all share the answers and the links. It's a great co-op already, sharing the prizes would be unworkable.

Exactly, well said!

The OP must realise it's a ridiculous idea and is out to get a reaction. Of course, he's succeeded

..... Discussion board ...
Not prepared to hassle Diva any more and Heather's inbox has been full for the last couple of days, so we'll just have to ignore such posts (letting them sink) until Darren gets back!

Yeah I did think of asking them IPM, but wondered if anyone here knew first.

Doubt I will raise it with the IPM though and will just stop entering their comps and visiting their site.
At the end of the day they are the ones who benefit from the clicks. It's not like they get nothing out of it and it's one of the main reasons site like them run competitions. If they wasn't getting the clicks then they wouldn't be getting the prizes to give away in the first place.

My main gripe was what they did today meant that everyone who had entered the Tiesto comp via the webiste had basically wasted their time and their entry became invalid. The only chance they had of actually winning any of the tickets was if they happened to be logged into their email account on a certain day at a certain time.

Yeah, that would be very frustrating, not everyone has immediate access to their emails, and even if they did, might not open it straight away if it's not obvious what it's about from the subject!

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will know if they are allowed to do that without having to contact the IPM, although it might be worth just dropping them a line, with very little information, anyway, just to find out if the actual practice of it is ok? I would do it myself, but I didn't enter the competition, so it's not really my place to get involved!

Hi Uncommon!

Thanks for the idea hun I wouldn't want to be in one though because you'd get people winning tons and some none and the people winning lots having to share all the time. Legitimate question though hun so don't worry about it lol

Grr... Literally half way through and now they're all in Game Over?
Board guides - please - I know you do a good job and everything, but can things be moved on the day they close and not the day before please? I love the E: system but now it's gonna be real hard to search out the threads I need from GO.

Thank you.

*sits back and waits for the inevitable backlash*

I do agree the board guides do a great job keeping things running, but often of late comps are on the main board for a day or so longer, and then when it comes to month ending they remove them at half nine! Grrrrrrr! Please, please, please, less haste next month.
