No complaints here it's an awesome contest and were all blessed to be able to be apart of it if your whining cause it's not on your timetable simply don't sign up to these contests and grow up period
Regardless of any delays or hiccups lets not lose sight of fact that way Innokin and ECF are doing here is huge!!! Ave lets take a moment to shine a positive light on them for doing all this!!!
Umm 400 prizes is a pretty small price for the massive amount of advertising they got in return. Or are you saying they are just giving things away to be nice?
It was totally a PR move, but I'm still thankful that I'm getting a $50+ mod for free (especially now when I have no VV/VW mod and can't afford to buy ANYTHING), even if hiccups cause them to take an extra week or so to send it out to me. I admit, maybe they didn't do so hot on planning the logistics. It probably would've been better if they had said "Contest ends on August 12" and left it at that, instead of "Winners will be announced on August 12." But it is what it is, and I'm still grateful.Umm 400 prizes is a pretty small price for the massive amount of advertising they got in return.

Well, they gave away 10 of the 400 to the first 10 to sign up. Then they did 4 "quick draw" giveaways in the thread, 10 each time. So there are still 350 that will be drawn from the website where we registered.
Never said that, that wasn't the issue people are complaining about!! And second I don't put words in your mouth please don't put them in mine!!!!Umm 400 prizes is a pretty small price for the massive amount of advertising they got in return.

Still has to be cooler there than in Texas. We are looking at 104 degree days and no breeze. We will be heading up there around Labor Day, I'm really hoping it's cooler.Wish I had that problem. Then again, not during our winters... I would like to find a place to live where, outside, the temperature is +35F at the lowest and +75F at the highest. When I was younger, my range seemed to be OK from -20 to +120F, but now various body parts hurt too much in the extreme temperatures. We keep the computers down here in the dungeon and the current temperature next to this computer is +81F at 61% RH and this is the coolest place in the house.

How is it not a giveaway? The people that win aren't paying a single red cent for their item. It may be a PR campaign, but it is still a giveaway. Ask any of the winners of they paid anything, see what they say.Agreed. Nothing wrong with a PR campaign btw, this is capitalism at its finest. And if people can benefit from it, even better. But a givaway this is not.![]()
Well said race... And it's just a contest,,, your going to lose a hundred to win one, be happy they are doing such a great contest... Win or lose they are the only large company to date do such a complicated contest... Thank you again InnokinJust think of the logistics involved.
Every person that entered with their name and email address has to be issued a unique number. Once you do that you have to run your random number generator. Once the first fifty numbers are selected you have to go find the name attached to that number. Since earlier winner are excluded, somehow you have to cross check the provided email to see if it matches a ECF user. Now you have to see if that user has won. it gets harder as more winners are selected unless you reissue new numbers each round so you can put 1 to however many in the random number generator.
Dunno why, but that expression evokes a whole different picture in my head coming from an Alaskan.You guys are pretty chill!

Oh and a chance to win...
With that being said. This (giveaway) is awesome on all sorts of levels. So winner or not, it's been a blast to be part of it. I love most all of the comments. You guys are pretty chill!
On a side note. When a company does giveaways, it boost business for all involved and there are tax incentives. Businesses can write anything they giveaway off on their tax returns.
How is 400 prizes a small amount? That's alot of money coming out of the company for campaigningUmm 400 prizes is a pretty small price for the massive amount of advertising they got in return. Or are you saying they are just giving things away to be nice?
