    Who are these people?

    Take a look at the winners in the Monthly Draw. With the exception of member silou, do you recognise anybody????

    No, neither did I.

    Hardly surprising as 4 prize winners are post virgins, 2 including the first prize winner have posted just the once, 1 has posted twice and 1 three times.

    It is not the first time that I have had the same feeling. Is there something wrong with the random number generator????

    Regards Graham

    Some people only register to be part of the draw.

    Re: Who are these people?

    A large number of posts are generated by a relatively small number of people - As Phil correctly points out, many people will be gold members for the draw - and a good deal it is!

    Yes, and they pay as much (or rather: as little) as we do so I think it's ok! :-) You don't have to be an active member of the forum to be able to win.

    Re: Who are these people?

    Hi guys,

    As a gold member, am I automatically added to the list of people randomly chosen by the PrizeDrawBot?

    Let me know please.

    Cheers

    Re: Who are these people?

    ALL gold members are automatically included in the monthly prize draw. As already mentioned - many people sign up to gold membership just to be in the draw. Personally I am a gold member simply to support the site & often don't even follow the prize draws, if I won I wouldn't know.

    Chris.

    The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.

    Re: Who are these people?

    Graham, you are most welcome to take responsibility for the Prize Draw every month.  It'd be a welcome respite from the work I already have to do and i'd welcome your valuable input.  You are also welcome to oversee the drawing every month if you can't spare the time needed to help.

    For the record, as said before, if you pay your £30 for Gold Membership - you're in the draw. It's irrelevant how many times you have posted, if at all. You've put your hand in your pocket and supported the site - and the Prize Draw is a bonus.

    On the flip side, if the draw was illegally rigged and prizes were only allocated to regular posters - don't you think it would look highly suspicious!! Hmm

    Lee

    PS - I just re-read your OP.. and if you'd like to pick any winner from any draw ever done on BeoWorld (or even a number of them), i'll give you their email address(es) so you can ask them if they got their prize..

    Re: Who are these people?

    I think they pay £30 and are intitled to win as much as anyone, I haven't won from the prize draw ever! But I would still pay £30 to keep beoworld going even if there wasn't a prize draw.  Keep up the hard work!

But thats life you just get on with it. oh well better things in life call for y attention rather then worrying about who won a draw.

    Re: Who are these people?

    I may be a 10 day old member but I was just agreeing with Lee, because it sounds like the other fella was trying to say there was some funny business going on with the draw, which is not right or nice. As far as Bronze membership goes I would rather spend my money on buying Bang and Olufsen items then on gold membership which can wait till I have enough surplus cash. We don't all have money to throw away like you do on Bentleys perhaps? I just prioritise my money.

    I think PrizeDrawBot is like Santa. if you behave well, you will get a prizeLaughing

    And keep it up Lee we love the prize draw and the work you are doing, and most of all what the forum gives us, Supporting the forum is for me more important than the Draw, but even so, I get exited every time the draw comes up

    I like joining the 1% club - a bargain at 30 pounds. Plus that first prize - had me salivating for a moment...

    Absolutley! ...a whole lot moreso than what happened in this past draw.

    I thought it was great that a fellow joined up as a gold member the very day of the draw and took home the wonderful first place prize. If that is not proof enough of the system -well, then I have no idea what is!?!?!

    For the record, I have been in every prize draw since the inception and was fortunate to have won second place once. I pay to support the site, not the draw -please don't forget that the draw is just the icing on the cake for gold members.

    I won first prize (Jan 2011), just after I signed up as Gold Member, and I´m a fairly frequent poster. Could not believe my eyes... Stick out tongue

    Been hanging around the forum for quite some time. 

    So, it's all random luck. Botty (and Lee) is making a marvelous job and we all should be thankfull.  Smile

    Re: Who are these people?

    Graham,I am sure you have forgotten more than I know about B&O equipment and repairs. I can only read posts about problems and fixes with equipment I have never seen or heard. How can I post about stuff I know nothing of and to that end I do not post much. I respect and enjoy the way a small pool of regulars (you included) help the great unwashed. 

     

    This month IT SHOULDA BEEN ME for first :-) .....but it was me who won in April.
