Perhaps that's a good thing, if you went on it would stop the assumption that compers win millions and it's so easy to win big prizes through very little time and effort. Most actual compers win very little, like yourself, so you'd actually be giving a very true representation :beer:

I can remember reading something ages ago about a lady that couldn't work due to a medical condition, so spent a lot of time comping and she would win a prize virtually everyday! You would have to comp 24 hours a day for that to happen surely?

I wouldn't have the time as I work and have to sleep!

Not so much comp 24/7 but to make this possible you'd have to enter a lot of useless comps e.g for cat biscuits when you or no one you know has a cat, so winning a prize every day isn't all it's cracked up to be. Better to win fewer decent prizes in my opinion :beer:

If you've ever seen the programs about hoarders, It doesn't take much to imagine what this show will be like.

The program about hoarders offers the people help from a psychologist to overcome their addiction. Do you think we would be offered similar help to overcome our addiction if we went on?:rotfl:

Quite possibly, as you can guarantee they would find some sad lonely Mr Bean ex trainspotting type, who spends all day behind his PC surrounded by crappy cosmetic prizes, won on MSE's daily thread!, only occasionally getting up from his commode to furtively look out for the postman, like some kind of weird stalking perv.

How close a description is that to us?

They'll probably find someone who is fuelling their hoarding problem with their comping addiction! :rotfl:
