Occazn Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I made a 1M giveaway earlier today, and it was going great! At least for the first half an hour.. It got a ton of posts from people when it was in the "Recent Topics" Section, but after it got kicked off that, the replies have really slowed down . I posted it in the Forum Games as a way to give something to the OSBot users and show my thanks at being a great community, but not many people have seen it or have been able to post on it. I've been on these forums quite a bit, and although I haven't posted much anywhere besides the MarketPlace, I have also never checked the Forum Games section. I'm not saying other people don't check this, but considering I posted this earlier today, and roughly 800+ people logged into OSBot, It only got 80 replies. Most of which are from the same people. Basically what I'm trying to say is - There needs to be a GiveAway section so forum users can participate in it, not just the people who saw the post in the "Recent Topics" section since nobody actually checks the Forum Games section . Not to mention the Forum Games section is near the bottom of the whole website. http://osbot.org/forum/topic/3841-the-first-ever-1m-giveaway-to-anybody-on-osbot/ if anybody else cares :c.
Occazn Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 I agree with this, although instead of it being entitled "Give Aways" I think it should be "Contests" There is a contest section, it's just only available for Administrators to post . I tried posting in there but it didn't work :c.
Administrator Maldesto Posted June 8, 2013 Administrator Posted June 8, 2013 I disagree there shouldn't be a section for something that isn't that popular not many people give stuff away.
Stealer Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I usually do giveaways on EOC but that's because i get 500m every week,
Sovereignty Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Agree, i would give away many old accounts not in use anymore.
Jellybean Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Im interested in giving a couple of old accounts that I have no use for away. Support
Jordan Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I think we have enough sections to cover things like this. For example. miscellaneous No support from me.
Occazn Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 I think we have enough sections to cover things like this. For example. miscellaneous No support from me. The thing is though, no one actually checks off-topic a lot . Most users on these forums just look for scripts. If there were a section dedicated towards giveaways, those forum users who aren't very active in the community could start becoming active with the giveaways.
Kati2 Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 This would lead to so many problems that you don't realize. I'd rather not have to deal with that. Post it in misc or off-topic.
Aza Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 No support, the users who look for just scripts aren't active enough on the forum and therefore don't even deserve to enter these giveaways imo
Administrator Maldesto Posted June 8, 2013 Administrator Posted June 8, 2013 Giving away gp is fine, but I think giving away accounts would cause a lot of scams. People would give away an account and recover it back. Then that guy would be out a lot of time and money for membership for nothing.

TIME TO UTILIZE THE FEATURE OF LOCKING A THREAD THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED. EDIT jk i cant lock this thread ;_; Edited June 10, 2013 by occazn
Messiah Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 I would vouch for this but the section would be dead. I've only seen 2 giveaways the whole time I've been a part of this forum....
