    I have read a few people have said they have checked on Google or Ask to see if they have won but how do they do it? Is it just a case of putting your name in the search bar?


    I'd like to know this too if anyone can help;)

    Search for:

    "mrs catz" winner
    "mrs catz" - but there might be lots to rake through if you have a common name
    mrs catz "prize winners"

    Why all thread that will expire 14/09 (only tomorrow), already moved to "Game over"? Is there any difference for moderator(s) to move only already expired threads, not the ones, that will expire after midnight, after 2 days, after week? :o For me it's really big difference - I'm always late, so usually entering the last day :o
    Please (again...) don't move them while they're not expired. Please, please, please.
    Thanks a lot for your great job.

    Did it have an end date?
    If it didn't then the mods usually move it to game over before it might end:)

    I dont think it really matters, its not like you cant enter them when they are over in game over cos you can, it wont take any longer to go over there as you must already do to see ones that havent already expired

    I think the mods here have so much more work now as there are so many comps now, and they do a great job.

    just to clear up the moved threads. I was bulk moving about 50 pages of closed threads last night, it has been really busy and i thought it was the 14th not the 13th :o

    that is why they were moved over early. its no conspiracy it was just my mistake i got the date wrong :o

    hope that helps clear it up. :D

    Don't know if this has been asked before. Would it not be a good idea to start a main thread where people provide details of the where they won their prizes? I only ask as I have been doing comps since the begining of the year and there are some sites where I have entered over 150 competitions and received no reward. If I had confirmation that other people were winning on these sites then I would perservere.
