    Is there a reason you don't post your wins ?


    Yes there is, thank you for asking :)

    CheCazzo ... it doesn't take time, you go into the forum to congratulate someone on a win and it's there right in your face ... I didn't manually go searching.
    Also, as I have stated many times, It wasn't about posting competitions.
    I'm not judging anyone, I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty, I never said anything about there being rules that you must post a comp. All I said was that it was annoying how these people who don't necessarily contribute win the comps.
    All I'm saying is that it's annoying, Well done to everyone who wins, good for you! ... but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd be a happier if someone like weeowens or cornishpasty, lizd31 etc, who spend a lot of time posting comps and generally contributing, won those prizes ... but that's not what the original post was about.

    How to alienate folks and make them feel crap....that should be the title of this thread :(

    I don't post competitions
    I don't do the thanks

    I do post on the I Won thread
    I do contribute to this thread regularly
    I visit the forum several times a day

    Is this what the OP wanted us to do come in here and confess our sins and make us feel bad?

    Are we not supposed to be opening our arms and welcoming new members rather making them/me feel inadequate and useless?

    On a side note I would like to know why my sarcastic, yet unhurtful comment from 5am this morning was removed while other much stronger comments have been left, yet again the over zealous fingers of the BGs strike again :(

    How did you manage to win a koala? I mean just the one?

    I thought we all ended up with 1000s of them.

    I think it is clear why.

    gholmes724 quoted me for saying that I don't post my wins due to past bullying. I don't think she needs to explain in any more detail - it is her business and no one elses :(

    It wasn't clear that's why I asked.

    gholmes724 Quoted you saying he/she tends to keep 90% of wins to themself.

    They didn't mention bullying.

    Thank you, I feel better now, I will stop thrashing myself with nettles ;)

    I do like that we can have a laugh in here at ourselves and each other:D

    As other have said there are MUCH worse forums than this one :eek:

    But why ask? If gholmes724 wanted to say then she would have said. No one has to explain their actions on here!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
