    Does anyone really pay attention to these dumb contest threads?

    Over and over we see a stupid contest thread made. I almost always pass them right by and never view them.

    Do you?

                The ones making them do. And the people on their payroll (see AFF's thread for the most recent example).

                  They totally are a waste of GFY space. Only the sig whores post in them as well as the employees of the companies.

                          Why would you say wanabe?

                          I would say I once worked for maxcash. Yes that is accurate.

                            Why bother looking at them? They are full of "bump bump lol sup guys good morning" and shit.

                            Worthless.

                              never

                              in fact my eyes have actually adjusted to not even see them anymore

                              until you made this thread I haven't noticed a contest thread on gfy in months

                              you know what would be cool, sponsors that got a little more creative with the contests.....how a scavenger hunt? new clue or hint posted each day, answers to be posted in the thread? lasting 2 weeks, etc....every right answer wins

                                Can you seriously imagine GFY'ers actually making an effort to win a contest, other than postwhoring?

                                      Always
                                      I am tired of making galleries a few years now. You can not only think about work. Contests are good for relax between submitting galleries and reading other threads.
                                      And I have to say - Pussycash is the best in advertising
                                      But ofcourse between submitting of galleries, contests I read some interesting threads too

                                        Well lets put it to you this way.. I rarely pay attention to sponsors that post contest threads.

                                        IMO these sponsors that are always having these post number blahh blahh blahh to win contests are just as bad as the surfers.. That and they are directly responsible for all the BS users we have on this board.

                                        You look at any of those contest threads and it's full of BS post bots and they are supporting that shit by having contests that are posting contests.

                                        You want to have a contest, then reward your fucking webmasters not fucking post bots or sig whores. If you want to have a contest I'll pay attention to, then do it as a sale performance contest.. Not some stupid ass post bot contest.

                                          Not really. I noticed some nicks are here just for bumping those threads.

                                            I think I clicked on one once, after that, I don't bother. Seems a bit stupid, it's just people bumping for a #, what's the point?
