i for one enjoyed the post

In the past there was a place for this, there should be again.

I've probably missed them in the past, but I think the thread may be better served if you repeated the details regarding the sites you use, give some tips on how you manage to stay so organized, etc. If you had some links to previous threads that you did detail this information, that would also be useful. Of course you don't have to, but I'm sure many members would appreciate it if you had the time.

no,actually people do care, I am asked constantly about how I win things,get thing for free from surveys and product tests, this is my way of trying to share a little with the community about how it's done,if you don't like it a simple click of your mouse button and you're out of here.

404 - no sharing found.

I see only base bragging and a post which is attempting to make you feel better about yourself or somehow justify your existence.

and it's met with your usual lame bashing attempt.. get new material

Same lame bashing attempt?

I don't even think I've posted in any of your attention whore threads before.

Maybe one or two here or there. But if you need to post this kind of stuff to ease your mental health I guess it serves some purpose.

And what purpose is your thread crapping serving for you?


I am happy to answer sincere questions from the community about my hobby in this thread.

I believe they just want some links

deal site... freebies and deal talk

Sweeps site get a premuim membership,it'll give you access to software tools that make sorting,entering and backing up sweeps a lot easier.check the survey forum here frequently as well.

deal site this is probably the best site for finding new survey,product test and survey opportunities as well as deals,freebies.

thanks! I'm too lazy to actually do this, but it'll stop some of the hate and if the thread loses it hate, I won't feel compelled to come back in it.

Your threads are like a really bad car crash.. you don't want to look at them but you just have to.. to see how much more over the top and ridiculously boastful you can be with each passing day. I continually am blown away by the sheer superciliousness each time I click on one of them.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by presenting us with these braggart wastelands of yours? No where in your post did you address at all what your silly explanation attempted to. You simply wanted other people to know about how you got a bunch of shit for free. What does that say about your character? What exactly should the response be that you're looking for? Congrats? Bravo?

Here's a constructive idea.. start a blog with useful information and tips so others who apparently care about this crap can glean some nuggets of knowledge.. and then put a link in your signature. That way you can come off as a rodomontade in every post you make instead of the bi-weekly edition of 'look at me magazine' that's hot off the press from your keyboard.

Anything else that I want to say would not be polite so I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for your input. Since Geekbabe's goodies threads don't measure up to your OFF TOPIC (fer chrissakes0 standards, please refrain from posting in them from here on in.

The cute part is that if I were to say anything like you have just said to me I would get in trouble for it.

I think your actions speak louder in this case :)

True, but instead of posting threads like this that serve absolutely no purpose but to brag and blah blah like others have already said (especially if it keeps happening), she should just skip to where she posts links. We don't care to hear about what she's won over and over and over again. Just give us links and go away :)

You're right, people ask all the time, myself included but you never really tell anyone. I think I figured out RoboForm on my own but even with it's autofill capabilities, there's no way I can do 400 sweeps in 1 hour. Also, I don't know how you experts keep track of things like one-entry-per-day contests. I hate those.

You do this every chance you get.. all of understand that you really enjoy crapping in my threads,your poor wounded innocent act just doesn't work.

You don't like my threads,that's your right,skip over them but the contast thread crapping is really getting old.

go back to the link that I've posted MANY times here in the past and posted yet again in this thread... here's the link again

sweeps site.

if you sign up for premuim membership,you'll have access to a software tool called shazam.. that lets you sort and organize your sweeps, by daily entry,weekly entry,monthly and one time entry ,it has commands to allow you to open multiple sweeps at the same time,it also has a count feature and backup.



How to handle one time entry sweeps? first off unless a sweep is a local thing.. I only enter sweeps from online sweeps site.. that way I greatlt=y reduce my chances of accidently disqualifying myself.

I hit the "count"button on shazam after each page of sweeps I do..to make sure they are counted so I don't accidently enter again.

I'm so sure. I've never seen you share anything.

I'm not thread crapping, I'm just calling things how they are.

This != Sharing

This = "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ALL THE STUFF I WON! ISN'T IT SO COOL??!!!"

What part of OFF TOPIC don't you understand? Here's the deal: You don't post again in one of Geekbabe's goodies threads, and we don't send you packing.

If you know your threads serve no purpose other than warrant attention and you know ahead of time that you're going to get bashed for it, isn't posting them considered flamebait?

How many posts of yours did it take before that link popped up? If these threads really are about your answering the droves who beg and plead for your secrets, why don't you just start with "here's how I do it" in the first place instead of "lookit me lookit me lookit me oh here's how you do it lookit me lookit me lookit me lookit me lookit me"?
