Also, can anyone technologically inclined tell me how in the world is Giftbot's icon animated given the extension is .PNG?

I assumed it was a trick to make the system accept it, and it was using the wrong extension as an envelope, but I don't know for sure. Now I want to go back and take a look...

I was curious about this. There are enough givaways in the early pages that poking through the thread feels rewarding, but admittedly as more and more pages stack up, that's gonna end up being prohibitive.
Indeed. In the meantime, you can always just follow giftbot and check the posts it makes every so often, as a stop-gap measure.

Guys, if you're gonna create a giveaway for this thread, please reconsider opting out of the 5 posts in thread option. It makes little sense to enable it in here. It was more intended for community/OT threads, for people wanting to do a giveaway for long-time participants of those threads.

I'm more concerned about people taking advantage and entering every giveaway no matter what

Hopefully there is a cool down for people who have won something


While creating a giveaway, the creator can chose a wide array of options:

- Blocking people who won a giveaway in the past hour/day/week/calendar month
- Blocking people who don't have 5 posts in the thread the giveaway has been posted on
- Blocking people who haven't created a giveaway in the last 30 days
- Blocking people who haven't created a giveaway since the last time they won one

So far those are all available, and will be there to limit abuse.

But maybe.. make it an option to Threadmark a giveaway or something like that.. the giveaways disappear to fast, especially since some have the 5 posts criteria ..


Your suggestion has been forwarded to the staff, thank you for the feedback!

I appreciate the lack of whining about the prize pool, which is partly because the prizes seem excellent, and partly because people are behaving themselves. I haven't seen many giveaway threads go this smoothly, entry-wise and people-wise. Also, this thread is a threat to my prepping for this meeting.

I need to figure out how to use the giftbot. I probably have some codes somewhere to give away, especially since I don't play much on pc anymore.

Oh tight, this gift bot alerts you even if you didn't win, so you can get excited before actually reading the notification
