Who else loved the Nineties?

I created a thread previously about the Nineties and their zeal.
I made it look like a normal thread, the contents are not necessarily Important.
I chose a topic that I thought would be catchy.
I thought I would get more entries than I did, but I do not know if my giveaway was a success or a failure.
I made the puzzle too hard, or maybe I made the puzzle perfect.

All that I know is there were only 46 entries, and I expected many more than that.
Would 46 entries be good (good turnout, not too many, not too few) for a first puzzle giveaway, or a bad giveaway.
I would like a Final Word on this and on how I did.

Think the numbers are quite ok. Odds were good for those who found it, the obvious and easy puzzles in the forum get easily several hundred entries. Depends on what you wanted to do: rewarding puzzle for the lucky ones who got there or a giveaway for many people but not so easy as to just click a link.

Huh, I tried typing q1toe as the giveaway link (when the puzzle was still up), but it kept giving me "Invalid giveaway code." as a result?

Maybe the topic didn't attract many. I think it was easy to spot the puzzle

The puzzle was fine, as best I can remember. I either already had or wasn't interested in the game. Just another puzzle I solved and left no trace all ninja style like I do. ;)

You're right. I have brought dishonor upon myself and I must now commit sudoku. Oh, wait, no. Never mind. Ninja don't care about that kind of thing. I forgot.

Committing sudoku isn't easy, but it's always the honorable thing to do. I'm especially a fan of those jigsaw sudoku's.

I'm surprised myself that more people didn't find it, but I rather think that's good.

Me too considering it seems people think every post is a puzzle.

I don't think I saw the thread before you posted the solution. Were those letter links always there?
I think 46 entries is a really nice/desirable amount of entries.

Those links were always there. Since I first created the thread.

I didn't like the nineties, so I didn't even read the thread.

I think it's a matter of time, don't worry.
Bump this topic on the weekend and you'll see.
I even think this is too easy as it is.
