Algae Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks to Eric for trying to get a raffle going to help the club and the GOC! It seemed to be silly Paypal was lumping all raffles together (ie: selling $700k worth of tickets for a $2K car for a private venture) that snafu'ed the deal. Thanks Eric, for all the effort!! It was a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I tried. They did have some understandable reasons though. Appartently in the past when raffles were going what would happen is when people lost they would file disputes with them, in turn PayPal contacts hosts of raffle, then they dispute the other dispute and it creates one huge issue. Thank you though for the comments. My only goal here is to get members more active in our club hence the games and such. Oh well....will try something else instead.....

ThePremiumAquarium Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Erik, It was a good go while it lasted. I am sure you will think of many more things in the future! I can't wait until we can have one big frag swap/sale weekend or something. That will be sweet! Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefboy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Great and I wanted to let folks out there know Eric is making nothing off these contest's so quit trying to get him in trouble with emailing mods, he has gone out of his way to organize this for the benefit of the club and its participants so back off and give the guy a break or get a life which ever fits the profile:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen first hand the work and planning that goes into this game by eric and the only payment he has taken so far is a ton of thank you's from people. Why somebody would want to try to get this shut down is beyond me. A game that clearly has brought more activity to the forum, and good activity at that. It's promoting our sponsors products, which keeps them feeling like it is worth supporting our club, and it has also accounted for many members to become paying members to the site. Every player going in has at least got a frag for their money and has a chance to get even more. This game is all positive and no negative from what I see. If it came down to it I guess Eric could make a sponsor forum and run it from there and try to make some money on this instead of running it for fun and spending money to do it(scratch). I can only assume that there are some LFS that are not donating for one reason or another and are a little bummed about the add publicity of all the donating LFS. SHAMELESS PLUG: Thanks again to: Totally exotic Corals Garret Rose City Aquarium Davy Jones Locker Coral Mafia Westside Aquarium Kleen Ur K9 & Salt Water Supply For all the donations you have given to the game in one way or another. We really do appreciate it and hope that you see good karma and added sales from your generosity(rock2)(rock2)(rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 .....I can only assume that there are some LFS that are not donating for one reason or another and are a little bummed about the add publicity of all the donating LFS. ...... I have reason to believe it is not an LFS that did this but rather a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I was really trying to give our members the benefit of doubt but your probably right. It's sad people have to be that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
