Not sure what MJ10 meant there furbs, but it certainly wasn't meant to come out as ungrateful.

We all appreciate your competitions a lot and I think of asking any more would just be cheeky. Thanks again.

No, sorry, I don't mean it in a negative way at all. I think it was more me assuming you'd cut back on giving everything you earn away as the freebie scene had died for you a bit! But I know you've kept up your generosity despite the set backs, guess I just hadn't remembered them all! Sorry to cause offence!

I knew what you meant mate, was just pulling your chain

I was just wondering something but didn't want to appear as a douche lol, i'm just interested to know. Don't the competitions help your site in the long run by bringing more visits, hence more referrals, hence more money etc. I know what you do is very generous and we all appreciate it as we are all winners at the end of the day in the form people will win these gifts and you get more acclaims as a website, but it isn't 100% generosity. Correct me if i'm wrong, because i might well be, but from what i can see comps help the website owner too, though i'm guessing you make a loss overall from it short term anyway. Either way as i said i don't want to sound like a douche, i appreciate your comps and your generosity, but it seems to be more of a long term plan to establish your websites, which is a great idea i must say.

I'm not complaining at you but it seems to me people are getting the wrong idea. DJ, as far as i can see as created a lot of stuff with no real gain from himself, hence he got my vote. Either way, i would probably have voted you 3rd in the whole of exceem behind numbers and DJ anyway so i didn't want you to get the wrong end of what i'm saying.

I'm sure Furbs could have spent that £1000 on much better ways to promote himself if that was his goal

I guess you aren't the only one thinking the same thing so don't take my response personally, it just annoys the absolute hell out of me that people are always trying to look for negatives.

How can I give away £240 in the latest eXceem only competition, where all the members have to do is post in a thread and with no reference whatsoever to my sites, and that not be "100% generosity"? It beggars belief.

I could carry on with a rant but what's the point. Anyone who's every approached me for help by PM or otherwise will know what my motives/intentions are, the rest can think what they like.

You are a very deserving runner up Furbs. The majority of us members know how generous you are. It just seems some people just like to cause grief!

I haven't looked at how you have done your comps so i apologise mate. As said i said you are very generous for it, but i considered whether it was 100% generosity or a bit of a long term plan in there too. Obviously i wasn't right with my thoughts and i apologise

As said you're a top 3 member for this forum for me.

Eeeks, I was on holiday in Japan when the poll was available, now it's closed and I didn't get to vote.

Congratz to the winner though! (Personally both the candidates are winners IMO

)
