    YAY! We are back up & running! Managed to finish off the 31st list by 1am this morning, had most of them done, was pleased at just how many I had previously go through

    Same here, I finished about 10pm last night but only because I'd entered so many already ... it's good to be prepared lol

  • Please may I say that perhaps people don't contribute because they are perhaps shy and nervous of making a mistake... I know I am..... I don't want to be rejected :embarasse

    Just wanted to say that I still feel like a newbie (on here since Jan) but I liked the comps ending for two reasons

    1) I don't get on the pc as much as I would like so they help me with comps I might have missed
    2) it was the only way I felt I could contribute compling a list - very rare to find a competition first and this disscussion thread moves so fast I don't get on enough to keep up so don't feel like I can "chat" so easy

    but saying that the trouble they have caused recently a rest is a good idea

    Thanks:D

    I must have missed loads, are the comps ending lists not being done any more??? I knew there were pros and cons being discussed but haven't had much time to get on lately :eek:


    I totally agree with you bucks....... the lists have helped me as I don't have as much time as I used to have to get on here and chat and enter comps. I also agree that it is hard to find comps that haven't already been posted, so I felt it was my way of contributing to the "community" by volunteering to do some ending lists.

    I will still comp on here, with or without the lists, I just found that they helped me out (which I suppose was primarily the main reason behind doing them).

    Anyway, I must get back to the comps ending 31st :D (I know there's loads I've missed) :eek:

    Good Luck All!!!

    It's not foolproof, but you'll get most of them if you use the following 2 searches in google :)

  • Just make sure you check the year as it would also bring up any for 2007 etc - the comp page would probably be long gone, but it will save you some time if you only click on the 2008 ones! :)
