[quote name='Blade']In truth, this place would be 'alot' better without this whole thread. What started out with good intentions has brought hordes of kids, morons, and lurkers to CAG.

But I like that most of them only post in this thread and leave the rest of the site alone. I would like to see good old members who didn't join just to leech from this thread get more of the good stuff.[/QUOTE]
i completely agree. the CAG's that paved the way for us should be given priority over the people that don't even sign up to say thanks.
i do like the way it's set up so one MUST use the code right then, and can't save it to sell/trade it later on. just wish one couldn't view this thread unless they were a member (it does tell you that all of the site may not be accessible if you don't sign up).
also wish there was a way to make sure people that have given codes out got 1st priority. i have ps3 codes, but not many 360 codes. almost gave out a ps3 dead space2 online pass when he missed out on one dropped (i asked, "what console?" like an idiot, then deleted the post). some just don't have the ability to drop codes like others. all my codes i got free are legitimate from 1 entry to whatever websites, or through a game trade. many get codes from stealing them from games traded in at gamestop (they are employees), but they trade & sell those (which should go to the buyer of that game used).
anyway, none of this will happen. i try to look for people that miss out on codes, and if i have that code, i'll pm it to them. i don't need, or care for, the public attention, and i do get thanked (plus, i'm sure it goes to a member). i know that's not the purpose of this thread, nor is my rant, but at least some that aren't great with computers (like myself, as i used my ps3 & wii for 2 years for online access), a chance to get something free. it also usually means that that person has whatever game they missed out on a code for (in case of dlc).
i was lucky enough to win a duke demo, which seems like it will include a code for the 1st dlc (& i don't intend to buy the game), so that's definitely a code i will be either dropping, or giving to someone on this thread when they give them out.
i know it was several pages back, but wanted to add my 2 cents to this conversation. thanks for understanding.
