GFY takes their time to come up with a contest with a ton of prizes for the benefit of Webmasters. I'm sure GFY's thoughts are for Webmasters to have fun with this and yes, someone is gonna win. When that happens folks say "it's rigged", "they changed the rules". Do you know what happens after those damaging statements?
The Webmasters eventually retract their statements, say "they didn't mean it" , etc. The real impact it has is on the company, GFY, here, they tried to do something extra for their Webmaster community, and instead of accolades, they receive ridicule. One day they'll make a decision to not have promotions, not get as involved as they do, and that will be a sad day. The same thing has happened to CE, too many times, so I speak from experience.
Instead of ridiculing this contest, why don't we give it up to the folks that put the contest together and the sponsors that supported it!! That way maybe they'll do it again at 2,000,000, and everyone will appreciate it 
Lensman, Hoax and all those involved in this milestone promotion - I applaude you on a job well done 
First, for hitting 1,500,000 posts, that's truly amazing and GFY will continue to break new ground, I'm sure
Secondly, for the great bag of goodies you got sponsors to cough up, they too should be proud for contributing so much
...now, off the soapbox, back to the dark, maybe I'll find BobX lol

anyone here has a right to be mad if they feel fit,
GFY is made up of posters. the more posts u have the more u hvae contributed to the total number of posts.
GFY makes its money off of advertisers, advertisers do not care about the quality of threads but the amount of posts and activity that goes on here.
we should not thank GFY but GFY should thank us. |
