Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

More added info: I ordered my bike on Dec 9 and my team partner ordered his on the afternoon of Dec 15. My bike was ready to ship (addressed and processed - BUT not given to UPS last Wednesday 12/22. My team partner's had not yet been processed. ON WEDNESDAY 12/22 apparently Marlboro decided to HALT all shipments and do what I discussed in my above post.

Gary did a search for Talonts in all forums and posted: "here he is he's a jerk everywhere

I actually checked out one of his postings and he IS offensive in that one, so it's probably force of habit with the fool. He never did squat in the contest except take the answers, and now all he's interested in is when the items will be shipped and how good they are. Ticks him off that he has to read 5 pages of posts to get information from us again. Breaks your heart, doesn't it? He's probably on Ignore in 97% of the threads he steals from.

I like Slick, but when we get treated like, well you know, maybe we need a new place were most of us can all be moderators.

Actually, what I find so funny is that the freakazoids who keep closing down the main thread because we're EEK!OMGEEK! Offtopic and they have to read FIVE WHOLE PAGES OF POSTS to find out if anything has shipped yet, will now have to read FIFTY PAGES OF POSTS to get the information -- and all because they closed down the main thread and we're on the Funny Farm and can discuss anything at all.

What I don't find funny is the fact that on this site, we can't rep people who post great contests for us to enter -- like the OD one where so many of us got $30 gift cards. Mad If they allowed repping in this lounge, there would be no complaints from most of us regulars.

And yes, twopros: "They should punish those that cause it to be shut down in the first place, not all of us." Punish the idiots who don't want to read those five pages, not the members of this group who worked so hard to get THEM their prizes, when they contributed nothing to the contest.
My thoughts exactly. Except, even though the OWTW thread is closed, reps still work there. Just need to find a post that hasn't been hoovered.

Hey, thanks for this info. I just Repped! you on the main thread and it worked. I didn't know you could do it that way. All right, now I have a new trick. One more question, though. When they permanently close that thread, can we still do it? I've never dealt with a forum before so have issues. Not as many as the flakes who keep shutting us down, but issues nonetheless.Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

As for your frisking prospects: Poor thing. Of course, as you keep flashing us, there's no real need to frisk you, now is there???laugh out loud

Finally got my email from Marlboro at 9 cst. Had ordered netbook and bonus right after midnight 12/16.
I called to confirm my order a bit ago. Talked to a nice man located in Florida. Nothing new to report--same info as what others have been saying, but he did give me an order number in case I need to call in a few weeks to check on the whereabouts of the netbook.

Does your last name begin with Z? My sister's does and she just got hers yesterday too.
Last name begins with S. I got my email this morning at 9 cst. Looks like it isn't totally alphabetical.

My girlfriend received her Marlboro e-mail last night and I received mine this morning. We ordered our great stuff on Dec 16th and did not call customer service as we both were fortunate enough to have 1600 points before they added 100 pts on the 17th. So I would concur with Ichi who talked to Marlboro that anyone who ordered after the "final" points on the 16th will not have their gear shipped until the 11th.

Congratulations to the people who deservedly had their ordered changed so they could obtain the stuff they wanted. I certainly don't mind waiting a little so the point mess could be fixed and everyone taken care of.

Thanks to Marlboro for such a educational contest with such awesome prizes.worshipworship

And thanks to the slick deal community here or we would probably be getting a much lesser prize than we did! Big Grin Big Grin worshipworshipworshipworshipworship:Big Grin

So does that mean since I had 1600 even, and ordered the netbook, didn't receive any email notice to "change prizes" that there is potential that it will go out sooner?

Nope. I had 1600 even and still got the email and still won't get it shipped until after the 11th. But at least I may get it by Valentine's Day.nod

Well, it looks like SD finally did it. According to the mod: "This thread will remain closed. Please use the thread in the Lounge for any further discussions. "

It happened at 8:56 this AM, so looks like we can still go into a dead thread and give reps. Nice to know. bounce
