Sorry didnt realise that i had to login every time i visited to keep my name on the list.......just so happens ive had a busy period in my life, new little boy, new job, which have took up all my time.

I entered into the conga in good faith, perhaps you should make it clear to people in the future that they have to login every day, or they will be removed from the conga!

Personally I think its really poor that you do this, regardless of whether they login to the site a lot or not, people may have spent money on the offer, and like myself spent money on becoming an exceem extra member as well.

Either you put me back in the conga or I would like my money back for the exceem extra, and for 1 month of lovefilm. I think that is only fair?

lol, don't shoot the messenger. I'm only guessing what the reason is, as you did ask

If you join a conga though you really do need to keep in touch. What happens if the conga moves on and you need to be moved to top but havent logged on? Do you think its fair on the others to have to wait until you decide to log in? Thats when conga grind to a halt and people are waiting to join but cant.

The admins/mods have to try and keep congas up to date and its the responsibility of conga members to help them. No one is saying you have to log in every day, don't exaggerate but i wonder when you last logged in before today? You cant just join a conga and then vanish as the admins/mods have no idea if you will ever be back.

We all have lives and work and some of us have kids, infact the busiest member probably on here (claire80) who's a mod has just had a baby and still manages time to keep everything going on exceem

As for your demands, I'm sorry but they are just petty. Maybe the admins will give you back the "extra" money although I wouldnt as you didnt need "extra" to join a conga. As for lovefilm, you've done your trial so there's nothing to be paid back over.

We all have lives, and I'll bet the admins/mods are busier than you and me but ranting wont get you anywhere. An email to the admins was what you should have done to see why.

So why not inform people of this in the first post of the conga? It seems to me that perhaps an email to see if I was still interested in being in the Conga would have been a good course of action, especially since id forked out to become an extra member.

Unfortunatley I have much more pressing issues, than checking on here the status of the conga, I would have thought that since this was an internet based site that emailing somoene who had forked out money to help the site was not too much to ask. I also didnt think the conga would move that quickly, judging by how long other people had taken, so didnt think there was a need to check back every day.

I'm not getting into an argument over who is the busiest person on the board, but I guarantee you that if I had time to spend on the internet over the last month or so I would have done so, unfortunately for me I have a life though!

Forked out a whopping £3 for extra. I can see your grievance now Remind me though, do you actually have to have extra to join a conga????

You're obviously not reading my posts. I'm not saying that a conga member needs to log in every day but they do have a responsibility to keep an eye on any congas they are in. You say they should have sent an email to you but if you have time to check emails you certainly would have time to check the conga status too. You say that you havent had time to spend on the internet over the last month so sending an email would have been pointless.

I'll say it "again", if you have a problem, contact the mods. You asked why you had been removed and I suggested this was the reason. Its not my fault or responsibility.

What i will say though is that i get fed up seeing congas halt because members are asked to PM their ref link but they dont because for one reason or another they dont visit exceem and in the meantime people are trying to join the conga but cant because these members cant be bothered to check their status.

If you have anything further to say, contact the flippin mods and give them abuse, not the member who's answering your question.

[Chopper]

I get my emails to my phone you numpty, and no i dont browse the internet on it! and I am checking now the status, which by my reckoning it still wouldnt have been my turn, so for not being on for a while I apologise to everyone it affected, now I know I need to check back more often I will.

Not having a go at you personally, but I do think you have intentionally dragged yourself into an argument.

However much money I spent joining Extra is irrelevant if you ask me, Whether its £3 or £33, I would have thought the fact I was willing to contribute some money to the site would have shown some commitment to things.

I will email the mods, but I guess from the tone you are using that it will probably be pointless!

You call me a numpty and then say you arent having a go? ok

Stop being a tube and read back a few posts when you asked why you were removed. I answered with what is probably the correct answer and you decided to rant at me, and demanding your money back blah blah blah.

Thats not me "intentionally dragging myself into an arguement", thats me trying to actually answer your question. had I known you would be so ungrateful and to be honest acting like a spoilt child then i would have left the question unanswered.

If you dont want to hear answers, dont ask flippin questions but dont take it out on the person giving you the answers. You know, the person who told you to contact the mods which you should have done before you spat your dummy out.

Paying a whopping £3 gives you no more rights than someone who hasnt paid a penny to exceem who is wanting to join a conga but cant because some people are too busy.

What happens if you get to the top of the conga but then are too busy to log on? The admins/mods are busy enough on here without having to email every single member who hasnt been online for a while.

My first post to you gave a possible reason why you were removed and I felt sorry that you had been......now? tough t1tty

now, email the admins and get your babies bottle because you obviously have thrown your own one out of the pram because you cant take being told the truth, You say you have a life, then get on with it

THE END

[Gulandril]

heh, well that was an entertaining read. nothing quite like a battle of wits, eh?


anyway, signed up under Sephora's link, wagered £5 on daily lotto tickets on MyLotto24. first part of email is gulandril@.

hopefully i'll get a bit of luck on there - never seem to get anywhere with the bloody national lottery.

[Gulandril]

I can confirm that you're Green; I'm off the conga then - thanks!

[claire80]

updated - tronsmith please pm your link

[rhysjones_1]

I'm looking to sign up, how long has this been linkless?

[jakethepeg]

2 days by the looks of things...

[con102]

If the user does not PM his link within the next few days, would I be able to go on as it is slowing down the conga line.

[Sephora]

Looks like he was online 2 days ago so he probably didn't think of looking in this thread. I think mods usually wait 2 weeks or something before giving top spot to the next person.
