If you look in the Lounge you will see some threads congratulating long time members on their winnings. They just haven't received their prizes yet.
'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'

I got 4 entry Total is 2 + 5 + 4 = 11 additional entry, the total: 62 entry If a newbie submit all the rest entry and didn't have any history here. they will have 51 entry Click the entry box above to get one (1) free entry! 1 Deal Alerts 10 Deal Alerts for Hot Deals (Completed) 10 Like us on Facebook then click here for (15) free entries.15 Follow us and tweet this giveaway on Twitter for (15) free entries! 15 62 entry for long time member compare to 51 for just sign in member is not much different. Only 20% entry more, the out come should be 50% different if slickdeals doesn't care and does want old member to win more prizes. You guys can blame me because of this but I only say the truth. BTW, as I said the giving away prizes is just to lure more people on to the forum. There are many deal-site out there, but Slickdeals is the best. I only have 400 rep, it's kind of low, but I does contribute to the forum anyway. I didn't jelous with the winners because I never win anything before and I don't think I can get one.
Gone, SERO gone..

A noob comes along who never has (nor never will) contribute anything to SD. They win something. Most never come back.

I haven't won anything on the giveaways this holiday yet, either. But I choose not to gripe about newbies getting prizes, because I once was a newbie too. As were all of us at one time or another. And remember, SD didn't have to give us 'veterans' any extra chances at all. They could have just given everyone, newbie and veteran alike, the same exact amount of entries. But because they do value the contributions that we have made to the site, they did give us those extra entries. Whether it's one extra entry or 50, it is an extra entry and thereby does increase your chances of winning. But frankly, I'm just glad that the SD admins and staff are choosing to give us any of these giveaways in the first place. These giveaways were not something they had to do, they chose to do it, for us.
It's a lot of work that they took on themselves when they didn't have to. I can only imagine the hours and days or weeks (maybe even months) that they've spent just setting these up. Then they also have to administer them (fix bugs, field complaints about the free giveaways, etc), contact the winners, and ship out the products (those from SD) at their own expense. But they did so in order to give us, their users, a chance at a nice holiday gift. And I, for one, am grateful that they did so. (I'll /soapbox now )To all of the staff at SD, thank you. Not only for the opportunity to possibly win one of the giveways, but most of all for thinking enough of your users to do this for us. All of your hard work and efforts are truly appreciated.
