This is starting to p*ss me off a bit - one of the reason why I paid for the Plus membership was the promise of regular prize draws.

Having this thread ignored isn't helping. I send a PM to Simon about it too but that has been ignored as well.

That's why I did it too. Surely the more draws for the Plus members, the more revenue the site will make?

I'd forgotten all about these draws until I read this post.
It seems very suspicious, prizes have been donated already, so where are the draws and whats happened to the prizes.
No response from anyone in 6 weeks.

Flix, Like you I had also forgotten all about these (It's been soooo long since the last one). Maybe thats what Simon, Shaun and the ScoobyNet team etc are hoping ?

It's pretty poor when in the first post :-

"As you will probably have noticed, we have the first of our new regular feature : ScoobyDraws, which are free prize draws to members."

Whats regular about these, loads to start with then nothing, so was it just a money making exercise by Simon, Shaun and the ScoobyNet team in getting people to sign up and part with their hard earned

Guys

Please accept my apologies. It has been an incredibly difficult few months, and this has simply been something that has slipped.

I will try really hard to get the next one up and running absolutely as soon as I can.

Sorry

Simon

and the 'stop moaning' comment coming from someone with a permanent moan in their signature

I'll post on this thread more often now to get your back up even more


Seriously, Simon will post them when he wants to. I guess after all this chasing that I wont probably be in with a good chance of winning anyway

Maybe the powers that's be are waiting to store up a load of Free Draws for the run up to Christmas.

As long as this doesn't offend those who don't celebrate Christmas of course !

We couldn't have that now could we ! What, with Britain being a Christian country, and all that.

Hey, glad we served a purpose - all these new features offered, get more people to sign-up, none of the features are continued or updated but you get a better price for your site - nice one

Certainly looks that way. When was the last draw? End of July? Almost four months with no new ones!
I've cancelled my membership. I'm getting nothing out of being a plus member other than another icon by my name.

Some people are seriously bitter and twisted.

I've explained what has happened. You can directly call me a liar if you like.

There is no point adding to my previous post, as it still stands.

Eh?

We're called bitter and twisted because we're not provided with parts of a service we've paid for?

Why the liar comment?

Btw - I PM'd you ages about the draws and stuff but you decided not to respond.

However, does all this mean that the draws and other features that haven't been updated in ages will now start happening again?

Richard.

No. This kind of word twisting really winds me up. You're called bitter and twisted because you decide to ignore my honest and straight forward answers as to why this has not yet been done, and instead choose your own cynical view that I've abused and conned everyone.

Why the liar comment?

If I tell you one thing, and you state that you think something different happened, that leaves no alternative other than I'm a liar.

A further illustration of the cynicism :


Btw - I PM'd you ages about the draws and stuff but you decided not to respond.
Not "But maybe you didn't receive it", or "maybe I missed your reply", or "maybe you're a human being and completely forgot", you've already come to the conclusion that I "DECIDED" not to respond.

However, does all this mean that the draws and other features that haven't been updated in ages will now start happening again?
I was state yet again that there is no value in adding to my previous statement :

Guys

Simon
I'm sure you'll now comment on why the last few months have been so difficult. Either way, that's the situation.

I meant what I said. I am sorry. I do feel bad about it. But I'm also human.
