  • I really don't think it's about being grateful/ungrateful.

    It was a fight to be allowed to have these comp ending threads as a lot of posters were against them. In the end, permission was granted to post them... and ever since iwannabeonthebeach has worked hard to oversee and organise these threads.

    The thing is, one of the conditions of being allowed these threads was that they weren't posted more than 1 day in advance of the actual closing date. The reasons for this is because they would begin to clutter up the board.

    For me, it makes sense for another reason - more comps are added all the time, and if you now do your own search, I'd be willing to bet that there's some that are closing on 06/05 that have been posted since this thread. So we're all missing out really.

    Please don't take this as me being ungrateful, because I'm absolutely not - and like others have said, it was lovely to get a head start this weekend.

    However, I don't want to see these threads being stopped because we're not sticking to the rules and then giving board guides abuse when they politely hint at that very fact.

    Sorry for the essay and thanks for your hard work danibee2k - I hope we haven't put you off volunteering :rotfl:
