Thanks to those who participated in our 'Ask An Expert: Scams' event. Scam expert MSE Katie's video answers are available to watch on the board now.
Heads up, compers! In order to investigate a technical issue, we've had to move some of the older threads from Game Over into a new category called 'Game Over Archives'. It'll be comps from before 2017, so shouldn't have too much impact on your day-to-day Forum experience. Thanks for your patience!
Anyone else a bit disappointed with the Advents?

Just that, really.... So SO many of the Advents are now on Instagram, of which 95% seem to require tagging, something I hate doing. So out of the pages and pages of Advents, I'm probably entering maybe 20 a day? It's really disappointing as I used to love doing them, would always do at least 100 to 150 every day and won some great prizes in the past. I suppose it's the way comping is going in general now.... I don't mind social media comps per se at all, just hate the requirements to "tag your bestie" (ugh).

I miss the ones that were a bit fun

The Jean Paul Gaultier one that was odd but some how fun
The one where you had to hunt down entries by record titles

Even the Christmas Humming bird on Topcashback
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
I've changed my facebook username to NOBODY so when I enter FB comps I press the "Like" button it will say NOBODY likes this
I thought Quidco may have brought their squids into their comps again too.
I've got about 55 I like to check and enter, with only one or two being social media ones.
It does seem like most competitions are going over to Instagram, I'm dreading the day it all goes to TikTok though 😬
Also with social media, it is slightly easier to judge odds of a competition as you're able to kind of see how many people are entering and deduce your realistic chances of winning.
Very disappointed. Not many really good prizes either.
