Thanks, dude!

thx

Because the contributor appreciate a thanks, even if its just spam and they won't get anything from it. Some just want to read and see that there are other people that are aware of the contributors generousness. Its not a requirement for most public giveaways so if you don't want to, you don't have to.

I try to thank the contributor in every giveaway i enter but most of the time the site is so slow (for me), that it takes literally 30+ secs to load. : (

actually its not a given that people are thankful for the opportunity. not by any means. most people here view giveaways as a given, and entering and winning them as a "right". those who DO thank, are the only few who DO think that giveaways are a privilege, and thanking is a way of showing that.

THey should be thankful by making a giveaway.

Allright everybody, thanks for your input. I sorta understand the constant spamming. Didn't think people would actually appreciate "mindless" thanking, but guess they do. I shall go forth and thank in my giveaway now too. Just so you know I'm not appreciating s%$§

"I get that you're thankful for the opportunity but it's a given you are thankful for that."

You'd think it was a given, but alas, it's not. Thankfulness seems to be a rare trait these days - I've even had one giveaway winner who couldn't be bothered to say 'thanks' after he received the gift.

Thank you :-)

I personally like to read through comments, and if it's an opening for a conversation I'll likely reply. I don't mind the thanks.

For someone who went out of their way to gift a game for free, why would you not say thank you? o.O

Thanks!

Hmm... okay

I actually find it annoying and unnecessary to be endlessly thanked. It's not personal at all, and just creates a community of people with forced politeness and brown-nosing. When I make a giveaway, I'd much prefer that unless you have something more to say than "Thank you," you just move on. I know you're thankful for the opportunity to win a free game. So is everybody else. You don't need to leave a comment on every single giveaway.

I know I'm the minority on this, and I know most people who make giveaways appreciate the loads of comments that come to them, but it's not something I'll ever understand. You've seen one "thanks," you've seen them all, don't know why it makes any difference, other than having a high comment number gives people a bigger e-peen.

thanks

Based on the fact that you have to ask that question, you won't last long here.

Thank you, bro

Thanks.
