I was defeated so I got offline, haha.
It's cool though. I'm hitting up Facebook now to see if any of my friends has happened to buy it. Might have to give out a blowski or fourteen though. :groucho:

I have a question for you guys. Do you think I should still hand out the new codes on a first come basis or should I let everyone have a shot at it? Some of you seem to never get any of the new releases. Giving everyone a chance at a code also saves you guys the hassle of having to refresh over and over again. The downside is that you have to wait even longer to get the code and you could potentially be competing against even more people.

I think you should keep it the way it is

What else do you have in mind?

Giving everyone a day to tell me if they're interested in a movie. Randomly picking a name from that list.

Hmmm. That might work. The activity on the thread though will depend on if it increases or decreases the chances of everyone getting it. But it'd technically be more fair I suppose. I think it's a proper idea.

That could work. I have no prob with the way it is now but it's so hard being on my phone trying to be the first one to grab a movie but I rarely win cause I don't have the luxury of being on a PC all day to refresh and I'm sure being on a phone have its delays. All in all what ever you decide is fine and up to you. You're very generous and I thank you for that. I'm happy to be a part of this great community and the great people here.

I think you should keep it the way it is. If you make a drawing out of it every time that will attract new members that are never on the forum plus people creating multiple accounts in order to have more chances in the same drawing. In the end it's up to you though, your giveaways your rules.

I think everyone should pick a number and then you decide which one is the winning number.

Or make them play BINGO !

You're right. But we already have a "rule" in place where generally GWAC doesn't give codes to someone who just simply joined and has only their one post. ( Then again... look at me.

)
So if that was a little more enforced then that would defeat the possibility of people creating spam accounts. To quality, maybe that person should have a minimum amount of post. Again, probably throwing myself to the sharks.

I think that rather than giving them away one at a time as soon as you get then, save them up then once every fortnight or so post them and then put it as first come first pick, with the stipulation that there is only one per person.

That way no one person can get all of the new codes as soon as you get them.
