Well there's a lot of people spamming it and it's causing lag and it's already crashed SG

Gross imbalance in contributor value.
But of course threads like this will get pushback from someone whose already done two of these giveaways already.

Filtering through the site itself would cause multiple queries to the database from thousands of users at once.
The site would load quicker only if the database could handle the load and judging by the issues the site has already, it would not be able to.

I was simply replying to your "'the addon' does not reduce any lagg" comment and it seemed as though you thought filtering through the site would magically fix everything.
You speak as if this is the first time this has happened though...
There are a few differences though, the fact that only 36% have DOTA 2 which is high, but considering that it has more play time than TF2, it must be for a reason. Not to mention DOTA 2 will eventually disappear when it goes F2P where we'll keep seeing The Ship for a while.
DOTA 2 - Hours Last 2 Weeks - 397,673
TF2 - Hours Last 2 Weeks - 335,887
tl;dr - I could care less about DOTA 2, there are worse examples and I wasn't referring to it in my reply.

Doesn't matter, it'll be F2P soon anyways, right?

How about stop spamming the forums with these stupid threads bitching about it?
People from Europe and the UK make up a large part of the website so maybe they want it but can't get it from the Alienware thing. Maybe other people didn't know about the Alienware thing.
Also bear in mind that a lot of people who have it were recently given invites to give to people so that's what most, if not all, of the giveaways consist of.
People are still entering the giveaways so obviously there's still a demand for them. They're not spam. They're people giving away games for people to win. Using the site for its intended purpose.
Quit your bitching.

Tell that to the OP. He's the one who seems convinced that the giveaways are coming from the Alienware giveaway. My point was that for people who can't get them from that giveaway, there are always giveaways here.
I know that the keys aren't allowed and I just said in the comment you're replying to that most, if not all, of the current giveaways are giftable invites that were recently given to a large percentage of people who already have Dota 2. I say "most, if not all" because who knows, there are always idiots breaking the rules so it wouldn't surprise me if some people were giving away the keys. Not that they're supposed to, but rules don't always stop everyone from doing things they shouldn't.
TL;DR - why are you telling me this? I know the keys aren't allowed and I don't believe I stated otherwise.

I added Dota2 as a bundle game as of the 17th so they can't farm contributor on them anymore.
Just install the SG Enhancement Add-on and ignore them.

Who said the site is crashing because of the Dota 2 Giveaways? I doubt that.

Its not keys idiot, its giftable copies that everyone who has the game is getting.

You can always do something or sell something to acquire the measly amount of money required here.
It all depends on how much you want it. Buy any game for a couple of dollars, and people will be queuing up several deep to trade with you for DOTA 2.

People are spamming Dota 2 giveaways on SG. There are 2 problems with this: the first being that it's being given out for free on alienware arena to everyone except Europe and the United Kingdom so they're being jerks by giving out like that. The second being that the spam has already caused SG to temporarily crash. Basically STOP SPAMMING DOTA 2 GIVEAWAYS.
