Is it my imagination or are half the active threads on ECF contests of one sort or another?
Just before creating this thread I counted 8 contest threads on the first page. And it seems it's the same ones and they are frequently on the front page. I'm not sure I am complaining or not. I guess I'm just wondering if it is worth so many people spending so much time on a contest thread picking numbers (or whatever they do) to win a $10 bottle of juice. I must be missing something here. Are there really that many people attracted to contests?There's a lot of contests here, I guess people like them. I just checked " New Posts " and 2 out of twenty were contests, so that's 10%. I'm sure that's not very accurate, but that's my preliminary determination.
You could be right.I've only entered a relative few contest here in the 5 years I've been a member, but I think most of the posts in those threads are just random chatting, especially in the bigger giveaways. Something to do I guess.
Well, they don't really bother me (other than having to weed through them). I'm just curious about the popularity of them.Spend 10 mins some days clicking on them to put 'em in my IGNORE list....Done! Cheers.

I'm beginning to see why you call yourself "Grumpy ole man" under your name.Definitely your imagination.
Dozens of small contest in the proper place.
A few Contest Globally - One at a time.
New threads started or responded to several times an hour in different Forums and Sub-forums throughout ECF.
Venture out, learn.
OH my goodness, you mean there are folks out there who don't enter the contests?? Well contests aren't what brought me to ECF. But after winning a fantastic prize in the 2nd contest I entered I got purty interested, the second mod I won was pretty neat also but I figgered that was a fluke no way. So I started losing interest and only put in 1 entry among thousands in the contest where I won my 3rd mod. So now, after having won 4 new mods in 9 months, yeah I find the contests kinda interesting. I try to get a couple entries in the worthwhile ones. But I got no reason bother with free juice contests since getting my DIY on track.Just before creating this thread I counted 8 contest threads on the first page.

LOL! If I were you I'd like contests too. Sadly, I don't have your good fortune. I'd find a way to come in second place if I were the only one playing.OH my goodness, you mean there are folks out there who don't enter the contests?? Well contests aren't what brought me to ECF.

But don' you like the pictures of everyone's dogs?Similar experience here, for some reason a little while back I did enter a few contests and won a couple of mods. I use the Cloupor Mini+ somewhat regularly, the only regulated device I have. I'm definitely a one entry and wait it out kind of player though. I don't do the social sites and haven't much interest to read everyday about what everyone is having for dinner.
Well, and cats, yeah... that goes without saying, but it's just not enough. Now, if everyone was taking selfies of themselves while sitting on the toilet and vaping, vooping if you will, that might pique my interest a bit.But don' you like the pictures of everyone's dogs?
Hmmmm, that probably wouldn't work for me.Well, and cats, yeah... that goes without saying, but it's just not enough. Now, if everyone was taking selfies of themselves while sitting on the toilet and vaping, vooping if you will, that might pique my interest a bit.
