So much anger, so much hate...
I can't help but think of Linkin Park's Bleeding Out every time I see posts complaining about the competition, especially the starting words: "Here we go for the hundredth time..."
Clearly the competitions work to lure in people to the forum. I for one have absolutely no problem at all if more newbies and lurkers starts posting during competitions. Regulars should really watch out sometimes, as it can sound like we are entitled to the prizes, as we are the ones contributing the most. But that is the completely wrong approach to take. Competitions are to lure newbies into the forum, and yes, sometimes there will be a swing and a miss with some people joining, but there are some great people that have joined just because of competitions
It pisses me off to see regulars clamber at the bit to complain the moment a competition starts, because the obligatory posts like "here comes the spam" and "urgh all the spam" is irritating and boring. PLEASE NOTE that not all regulars do this though.
This guy/girl/thing though that just busted in here with ill informed opinions and negative attitude is an example of what NOT to do as a newbie though, and I would not loose sleep if they never came back here again.
