As long as the people entering give-aways are either giving away games themselves, or contribution to the forum outside the one thread, then there is no problem.

I think the problem is that most of the games that are given away are a bit more obscure, and I'm not going to enter a give-away just to get a game I'm probable not going to play. But then again, you can't really tell people what to spend their money on.
I totally agree with all of this. I have really enjoyed the GAs and watching other people win. I have been fortunate to pick up a couple myself, but this is not really why I participate. It's just good fun.

I think the reason why there are so few entries is that most people don't enter for games that they have no interest in playing. If this giveaway group was abandoned, I think it would be a great pity as it offers everyone a little bit of fun and helps foster the sense of community here.

Maybe creating a minimum giveaway entry requirement is a good idea to encourage people to keep giving.
