Dont know what to say really apart from feeling incredibly sorry for anyone waiting for gifts, verifying, pendings etc.

royally shafted

bmh16 · 26-05-09, 05:53 PM

Definitely, i've not been following the recent events but what a shame to see one of the biggest networks to go down like this, i mean anyone able to summarise it all into a few sentences?

I think my last two words summed it up nicely.

bmh16 · 26-05-09, 05:56 PM

As in Royal Shafted? If so, i'm not sure what that means

Harvez · 26-05-09, 05:58 PM

its means "being screwed over" having ur pants pulled etc

Blazer · 26-05-09, 05:58 PM

I think what I said was quite mild compared to what i was really wanting to post. Its all very well being told to mind our language etc but why should we just sit back and not have an opinion? Do you really think any member that has lost out will simply just shrug and say "ah well"?

what giveaway have done is unforgivable and there's no getting around that

ohhh, I though Jon was talking about my post, that why I changed it.
I agree with you totally...

On the top left of the homepage, under featured networks, can the Runaway Network now be removed and replaced with the Kudos network?

It is very sad as many of the older members first gifts were probably from giveaway. Mine was a 30gb ipod which i still use everyday and that is the reason i am still here now.

SandDancer · 26-05-09, 06:27 PM

i feel for all the members who are owed gifts/money , this totally sucks for you peeps

you could see this coming months ago

Yup, my first gift was a 360 from GA.

A sad day but not a surprise.

rollingsta · 26-05-09, 06:39 PM

Why whats happened?

tombsc · 26-05-09, 06:39 PM

Yep, but I guess it's been a long time coming. I'm currently 'verifying' for a 16Gb iPhone...

Ever hopeful though

Ayo312 · 26-05-09, 06:42 PM

Tis a shame, im owed a couple hundred aswell, but looks like i just have to give it up

As long as FJ and KN stay okay for now I should be alright

gez18 · 26-05-09, 06:46 PM

i feel i was bloody lucky to get my £100 custom order in febuary.
my first ever attempt to get a ps3 was with giveaway but was put on hold due to my mistake.
it is a sad day for those who havnt recieved their rightful goodies but also a sad day for giveaway you never wanna see a network go un-supported, especially a ex good one

-null- · 26-05-09, 06:51 PM

My first gift was from Giveaway as well. Shame but since giveaway stopped being active when I still was it's hardly surprising

Still, kinda makes me glad I don't have a method

Bazza · 26-05-09, 06:54 PM

Wow I really have missed a bomb-shell in my absence. I NEVER thought I'd see the day Giveaway were removed as a supported network. They were always the network I would have used to convince people about the freebie scene as I imagined they'd always be around.

I really do hope they climb back from this and everyone gets the gifts they have received. I think I owe a good majority of my freebie value to Giveaway, very sad to have to say goodbye.
