atm as I'm going through the regs board if I find a live comp where the prize has been changed I'm posting on it with the new details, I know that will bump them up (but they're probably comps a lot of people haven't seen ) but as I'm working from the end of the board backwards that shouldn't be too much of a problem

noticed you'd started doing that Glad, lots of hard work for you :A

I think the general opinion is that the regs board isn't used because its untidy and confusing?

so if I spend a few days tidying it up (with the added bonus of entering comps for beard trimmers, artificial trees and 2 slices of hovis bread :rotfl:)
it might become a more useful board for everyone with the weekly mag threads etc easy to find on the first page or two

thats excellent news it will take time for people to get used to it but at the end of the day i believe it would be worth it.
it would make the regs board more inviting and a lot warmer inside.
so if i have got this straight all comps which have started with ongoing comps eg kissmass, luckygamer, quidco, metro where you can win a flight everyday,kinect warburtons etc and other comps where its best to enter early on would be posted there?
sounds great

Hi,

I have entered this and now realised I have binned my copy of the magazine!!


Does anyone have the list of winning numbers for the two comps?

Or can someone direct me to them if they are already on here somewhere? Did search but couldn't find them!

Thanks guys!

hiya, sorry, this should realy be in comps disc. where think lots of others could help you
will pm BG Glad, to move for you

Amilucky?

Here go's I feel that I might get lambasted but I am going to speak my mind

I apologise to Glad in advance who is doing an excellent job since taking over the role as a BG but I feel trying to breathe new live into the regulars board is like trying to flog a dead horse

and I'm sorry but I am going to have to go against the minority who are posting in this thread and say that given the option the vast majority of compers would like the Regulars board disbanded completely and the comps amalgamated into the Main board and I am sure that with a few tweaks here and there this could be achieved

where will it ever end? you could go on categorizing forever like all magazine comps in the Regulars,all ITV comps together all Facebook and Twitter comps all Advents together in fact all comps that are posted regularly from any site in the Regulars board together

taking comps away from the main board is in my opinion a step in the wrong direction and will make the Regulars board even more confusing

all that the vast majority of compers want to do is to enter competitions and I'm sure that at the end of the day they would much prefer them all in one place

if you disagree with what I have said then maybe it should be put to a vote for and against the Regulars board

I've just had a litre bottle delivered from Asda :beer:

managed 2 pages so far
problem is when link still goes to a comp page but no mention of it on the site homepage or even a date somewhere to show if the site is still current, I might have to resort to posting a few links here if I'm really stuck for the hardened pros to look at for me :A

Hi

all opinion are valid and welcome so say what you feel

I'm not actually suggesting categorising and grouping together more comps from the same site, just moving a few that are already done this way

and it does seem that the regs board is disliked by so many mainly because its a confusing board, so if it wasn't confusing, and used in a better way, maybe the majority would like it

having all comps on the main board could potentially bring its own problems, looking at the regs board now, 36 pages, about 80% are still live, so you would have another 30 or so pages added onto the main board, most of them don't have an end date so a possible 750 threads with no end date in the title.

most boards on MSE were started when there were very few members compared to membership today and some need to evolve to accomodate the massively increased traffic, after seeing the regs board brought up in this thread a few time I just wanted to discuss how it could work better

I completely agree with you. I think the 3 daily/weekly/monthly threads are fine butwish the overall sub forum wasn't there. Much easier if they are all in once place and like you say how do you categorise them all?

Soomeone mentioned earlier about if a company has their comps posted on a certain day and lasting for a certain length of time being moved to regs but that would just be confusing to categorise. Screenrush for example are usually posted on a monday and usually last 2 weeks but sometimes there are some posted on weds/thurs/fri etc.. and only last 8/9/10 days. Would they go in regs? wtwtk is usally posted on 1st of the month and last until end of month but sometimes are post mid month and only last a week? Categorising every comp will just become ridiculously confusing and tbh most of this discussion has actually confused me more as to what should be there!
