CAGiversary!
In the past 2 days, I've visited 3 CC stores in my area. For the most part, it was a pleasant experience. I met a few other CAG and Fat Wallet members and compared lists and finds, discussed games and shared the wealth. I also met a few really cool CC employees who pointed out games on the list. These were the pleasant experiences. I also saw my share of hoarding losers. I know everyone has heard this before, many times. But there's a point to this post.
Sitting at my computer this morning, I decided to take a peek in the eBay listings for all of those copies of Disgaea and MP4 that the hoarders had to have listed already. The example I found was from a CAG member named FISHEPA. Here is his member profile. A relatively new member joining March 2004. Since joining, this member has contributed absolutely NOTHING to our community. And I'm not just talking about submitting deals. No interaction in any way. Here are FISHEPA's current eBay listings. Wow, 2 copies of Disgaea and 3 copies of MP4.
I guess what really bothers me about this whole ordeal is that we have CAG members in our community that really aren't members. They are here for one purpose. To take advantage of our deals. I think there should be some kind of requirement for contributing to this community. Post a deal, discuss a game or an experience. Just contribute something, anything. I'm sure there are CAG members that have been here longer than FISHEPA that have also contributed nothing. In my example, I just find it disturbing that a member of almost 4 months has contributed nothing, but walks away with 5 copies of the most sought after games in this CC deal.
