OK, I understand if the admins are sorry they ever started this raffle business and that they now can't keep up with it. But there are still two raffles that should have been drawn almost two months ago. Could you please draw those two and then stop making promises you can't keep?
sheesh, pations girl! They're not gonna keep it undrawn for ever, ya know
I have flagged it with the powers that be. Unfortunately we CL's don't have the power...
@Post 2, she has a valid complaint, and it's not like she starts a new topic every day about the same thing. At this point, asking firmly for the raffles to be drawn is perfectly acceptable, in my opinion. It has been quite a long time.
fair enough...
I too think this is a valid complaint. I don't see any reason why there are raffles remaining undrawn for any extended period of time. I mean, how long can it possibly take?
I just thought it was a bit "off" to demand for the raffles to be drawn; maybe admin has something going on in the outside world?
It can't be that hard to assign random numbers to the entries and use a RNG to get the winner, or just put them all in a hat,draw and post it.
I have been waiting to see when they would be drawn myself since I got here, hoping for a new one to pop up...
I'm sure the admins do have life outside the zone, but like someone mentioned, how long does it take to log in here, draw the raffles, and log back out again?
jess, we're talking the admins. so... who knows.
and yeah, seriously. if you can't keep up with the raffle thing, drop it. i don't see it lasting myself.
again, good idea, but not enough time devoted to it
or why not allow a CL?
Yes totally agree that this is a valid point. Admin do need to keep their promises if they create these site features.
Yeah. I don't see why CL's can't have the athority to cunduct drawings, if it truly is random. I can see why they can't create them, but why not draw?
Whenever they draw the raffles I'll betcha Becky doesn't win.
Bob
p.s. if I win I'll share with you Becky.
Here's the simple idea. If the admins can't do there job, why not look for new ones?
That would require 2 things; and not just one of these two; both of them:
1. someone who knew how to do all the coding on the site the admins currently do.
2. someone with enough time to put into this. There are some things, like ddrawing raffles, that really don't take too long. But adding features, changing existing ones, finding and fixing bugs, making sure the servers are kept up and running and other such things probably take quite a long time and effort, and it's probably very frustrating at times.
I'm not saying there aren't people willing to do this, but how many, and for how long?
Also, who is the 'they'? If I'm not mistaken, the admins own the site. We do not. Nobody on here has part ownership in the site. We just have the use of it. That's like telling Google to go get a new Google. Google *Is* Google.
