Remaining Bugdroids

[birdtales]

So if 3 went to Admins, 2 to the two contests in givaways, and there was 7 to start with. That leaves two......another contest?????

That's BS!
I tried to adopt a little bugdroid, but like getting welfare, I was shot down!

The remaining bugdroids are staying with us - don't expect anymore giveaways anytime soon. Poor turn out from the last few giveaways tells us that AC members don't give a rats a$$ about giveaways --- so why should we continue run them?

Hey.. I ALWAYS want free stuffs!!!!!! lol...

Ya seriously.

Why let a few bad eggs spoil the bunch?!
Keep up with the giveaways an all, and whoever participates, participates.

How did you guys advertise the giveaways?? This is my firstime hearing about giveaways. So you had 1 bad turn out for a give away. Come on Vince!!! Everyone has been to hype and excited about their G1s to get involved with a contest. Give us another chance man!!! That could keep some members here once all the G1 hype dies down a little.

If at 1st you don't succeed try, try again!!!

BTW, who was in charge of advertising or getting the word out about the contest?? Perhaps you need some help in that department?? I like this board and I don't know about anyone else, but anything I can do to help it grow and remain popular I wouldn't mind pitching in and helping out where and when I could.

Yeah, I just looked, and apparently a couple of them have slipped right by me!!

When I was in the Navy we had a saying when you made rank, "always remember who got you there". I am by no means being an a$$ but WE are the community, good bad or otherwise we make up the team. I appreciate the giveaways, and just having a place to hang out but to hear you or any of out leaders here say we don't give a rats a$$ kinda gets my goat if you know what I mean. I was upset with the turnout myself, but I'm not sure it was because no one cared. I'll get off my soapbox now.

I agree with birdtales that the low turnout was probably not because no one cared. AC forums are DENSE and there is a lot to sift through. I stumbled upon the site looking for answers to a couple of questions, not intending initially to start getting so involved. It takes a little time for people to get comfortable joining a community and participating.

From my experience, people are generally NOT apathetic about the prospect of free stuff! I think maybe just a bit more advertising will get more members involved.

LOL! ya kinda hard to miss it.

then again... I know I find myself explaining to people how to guide themselves through my website forum.

but yes Vincent..,,giveaways are always apprciated. And grated (knowing the AC rules about only AC giveaways are accepted) anyone who mentioned or emailed me regarding questions about Vegas I always gave/offered them tickets to a show I work for.

Aside from it all... i dont like being a hog. LOL I only enter in the giveaways I know I will use.
the protective skins,,, I already had 1.
the bugdroids..cute, but my dogs would tear it up in 3min. so better it went to someone who could care for it.
the unlock one... dont really need/care if my g1 was unlocked.

thats why the only one I joined was the carrying case.

Yes, Vincent - I've already realized, found, and participated. However, my point is just that most people coming to the site are not searching for contests and freebies and fun stuff to do, but for a specific informational reason. The "sub-forum" Contests/Giveaways is at the bottom of all other forums and at least for me requires a bit of scrolling to discover that it exists.
