Tony E Loves Architecture Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Aren't they better in the same threads as the events they're for? They're part of us celebrating those events, after all, and that's where people who are interested would most easily find them. And why do you need a separate sweeps forum when we already have a dedicated competitions forum? And fair enough if you want to do them for all events and sundry, maybe the board needs that bit of regular fun. But in the past we've only done sweeps for the two biggest events followed on GamesBids after the Olympics - the FIFA WC and the Rugby WC. I doubt we'd get much interest for any but those two. It's not that fun unless they're fully subscribed and everyone's closely following the event. Yeah, it would be Fun if more members participate in these Competitions/Sweepstakes.

ofan Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah, it would be Fun if more members participate in these Competitions/Sweepstakes. They're just not that popular outside of the WC and Euros and the Rugby WC. I was very lucky that my commonwealth games sweep was as successful as it was.

TheOtherRob Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 There are only a few events which really get everyone on board. If there's no prize, what's the point in being in a sweepstake for an event that's not even on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Hey Tony - why don't you do a sweep for the logo comp? Think of it - I could be krow, and krow could be you and you could be Baron etc. Edited January 6, 2015 by Sir Rols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I lead a very varied and full life and I don't spend my time 2nd-guessing how other people lead theirs...because I don't really care how you lead yours. Capsice?

Am flattered that you're taking more time learning about me than me caring about you. I guess that's how you lead your life. And who do I harm? Do I harm you? And yes, I am retired -- that is why I have all this time and a wide range of interests and opinions. That is why they are called 'social media' - so one can connect/be part of a larger world -- not just being stuck in a filler for "Middle Earth." God forbid you should live so long and have so many interests. Get your own fulfilling life, you empty soul.

I was hardly dirt digging, I just was going to watch you video on your book, clicked on your channel and was presented with your comments on cat videos, a couple anti-islamic videos and a ****-ton of ceremony videos on which you suggested people but your but not owning up to being the author of it. And anyway, aren't I on block baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hey Moderobster. Pet peeve. Can you post the full article if you are posting a topic in your GamesBids News Feed forum thingy? I know you are wanting the page views but I am a lazy, lazy man.

jiejie Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Can't figure out where else to post this question: Why does my poster information on the left have "0 Warning Points"? I mean, I'm glad to have zero of what sounds like something I don't want to have, but nobody else's posts seem to display this. I checked my settings and can't figure out how to delete this--what am I missing? I would be amenable to leaving it up but only if everybody else's WP's can be displayed. I want to know who's been naughty..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony E Loves Architecture Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is there enough interest for a sub forum to discuss the Paralympic movement? That actually seems like a good idea, although I think the Paralympic movement news is included with the Olympic movement news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
