Who won?

We all win. CAG has saved me way more than $200, so it'd be just a nice little random bonus. Everyone here, if using the website even a bit, should've saved more than $200. *End obligatory, yet warranted, praise*
 
Has the winner been picked? I figure Cheapy will either update the first post of that thread or maybe put something on the front page when he has an official winner.

I'm really really hoping someone with fewer than 2283 posts doesn't win.

Noobs should've been DQed for the contest, it just doesn't seem fair for someone who just signed up to win the contest. Hopefully it wil be someone that deserves it.

Its to congratulate all of the 20,000 registered members (or CAG for 20,000 members, whatever).. it wouldn't make sense to exclude anyone.

I really don't understand you guys at all. I would assume that these periodic contests are given to draw new people to this site, rather than to reward regulars for having stuck around for a long time. And *certainly* not to reward high post counts (what a horrible thought.) Clearly, a lot of you guys believe the exact opposite...that if only these "pesky 1-post newbies" to the site were excluded, it'd be a great contest. *sigh* If you insist on finding some advantage for long-term members, consider it the chance to have partaken in all of the contests held, instead of just the most recent one, which is all the "undeserving noobs" have had a shot at.
...and for God's sake stop bitching about it.

Can't we all just get along??? :grouphug:
 
[quote name='the_gloaming']Some of us "newbs" just happen to lurk more than we post.[/quote]
Wow, someone who has been around longer than me and has fewer posts... I hear ya man, until the past month, I was a lurker as well.

Cool sig by the way. Pro Wrestling rules!
 
I agree... when people post things like "I think you should have to have more than (insert number here) posts to win!!!" it just comes off as selfish and misses the entire point of the contest. It's to celebrate the growth of the community, and without those "newbs" there wouldn't even be a contest to begin with. So let's just celebrate the growth and success of this board and be happy that Cheapy and Defender even extended this gift to someone period. Congrats to whoever wins... and congrats to the CAG community at large for becoming such a large and successful gathering place.
 
[quote name='MorPhiend']I hope someone named MorPhiend wins... \:D/[/quote]
i dont know who that is but he sounds like a looser, also im not even thinking about winning, sure it would be nice but i have never won anything.

And also i dont expect to win this, there are about 1225 entries. That means you have a 1/1225 chance of winning. I havnt won anything in my life so im not looking forword to anything, but dont get your hopes up.

Actually, he's not a loser. He's really kind of cool! 8)
 
[quote name='punqsux']i hope someone with over 5000 posts wins (did casey enter? :wink:)[/quote]

yep.

thats why I think someone with over 5200 posts should win
 
Hopefully it was won by someone born with a platinum spoon emanating from every orifice. Someone who gave out Steel Battalion sets as stocking stuffers. Someone who has a fulltime translator on staff just in case he has the urge to play an import. Someone who tracks CAG deals for the sheer amusement that anyone need concern themselves with the price of a video game.

That is the deserving winner.
 
The only thing that would get me mad is if someone enters a dummy second(or third or fourth name) and ends up winning with one of those
 
I read somewhere that an unspoken rule would be that the user had to have at least 1000 posts, since some people registered just to reply and try to win. I hope that's the case.

thats is fuckin great.
 
this should have nothing to do with the amount of post you make. I have been here longer than a lot of people that have 1,000's of post more than me does that make me not worthy or a newbie?
 
[quote name='rawisjericho']Hopefully I will win :D[/quote]

That is the greatest name (except for mine) in the world!!!

(Raw Is Jericho used to be one of my chat room names years ago... Glad to see someone who remembers the good old days...)

Wow, you just described me to a tee. Well except for the fact that I wasn't born with a platinum spoon in every orifice, I just put them in there for fun.

yea when I first came I just looked around and posted once in a while but as time went on I became more active ;)
 
[quote name='pimp_daddy_smurf']im really really hoping someone with 1 post doesnt win[/quote]
I would be angry if that happened.
 
I think most people would be happy if it were them, but I figure as long as it isn't someone who only joined just to enter the contest and then never contributes ever again that it would still be fair.

Contests that draw people out of thier shells are better than contests that only attract bottom feeding hoarders that buy 100 copies of cheap games for ebaying and never try to help the community.
 
I for 1 can say I have never bought games just to sell them on ebay. I come to this place for great deal and get them. I just do not chat much as this is only 11 post in 10months
 
I really dont care who won, just that they enjoy their free 200 bucks in games. whatever you do just stay away from nascar 2005 (shakes fist at EA)
 
[quote name='evilmojo12542']I was thinking of picking that up this weekend is it that hard or just not that good?
8)[/quote]


if your talking about nascar, I just didnt like it at all 2004 is tons better. or pick up Dirt to daytona. Dirt is 10x better then nascar.
 
[quote name='zewone']Being here longer is no more important than posts. Both are nothing to write home about. If I could remember my password for my first username I would have been here alot longer.[/quote]

Did your password happen to be James??

It is! How did you know? Yours must be James too. :D[/quote]

Weird, and I use that same screen name on other boards so all those trades I made on your account were an accident!!!

Ahhh, its fun to remember some of the old threads. :twisted:
 
I really don't see what's the fuss aobut the contest. Sure it would be nice to have won, but I never even entered since I couldn't think of anything worthwile to post. Oh well maybe cheapy will see this and think on me sympathy :wink:

[quote name='smellhasreturned']It has been Declared by CheapyD at 11:28 eastern time that SmellhasReturned won the 200 dollar shopping spree

thank you all for entering[/quote]

lies
 
It pisses me off that some off you complain about "lurkers". I have a wife and 2 children and work my butt off and don't have much time to look for deals to post. When I do find them it seems someone has already posted it. My life does not revolve around being the first to find a deal. I am very appreciative to CheapyD and correct me if i'm wrong, but don't I contribute something to him when I buy something via a CAG link?....and I do use the links. I didn't sign up for the drawing, God forbid a "newb" won that.....and if I had won, I would have donated that back to CheapyD anyway. He's already saved me alot despite some of you children. So give newbs/lurkers a break. I guarantee you that many feel uncomfortable with some of the prevailing attitude from some of you....
