short giveaway

Its as long as the creator of the giveaway wants it to be.

Well, I suppose it would be possible, but I doubt anyone would want to create a giveaway that is that short.

Why not make a private giveaway for one hour, then give the link out when there's 10 minutes remaining?

So, the idea is to reward the people who use bots or lurk the place? Yea, great idea! We totally need that. [/sarcasm]

If you wanna reward "ninjas" you can just post keys here... or I dunno, make a private giveaway and post the link on the forum when it has whatever time you want left.

All this idea would do is make it easier for people to give away exploited keys.

they should make giveaways limited by the number of entries not by time

Man, thx for information of the giveaway, already missed him!

I looked at the profile of the OP and I think I know why he wants that.

For the topic: Like others said you can make a private giveaway and give the link on the forum away with x minutes left. Else this would just make it easier and faster to cheat the contributor value.

you made private giveaways that your friend won and he didnt activate them, yet you complain about this?

Don't know if it still works, but I know that sometimes I've had the time set, tabbed away and forgot about clicking confirm, then come back later and make it and it will be shortened by whatever length I was away. For instance, if I made it for an hour, then took 15 minutes to remember to go back and click confirm, the giveaway would only be 45 minutes.

Wow way to call attention to your super sketchy profile and friend.

Really short would be interesting. Kinda a flash giveaway.

A better idea to increase people's chances of winning would be to prune back the user base by getting rid of all the scammers, cheats, value boosters and general ballbags.

Hmmm...

you can, make a private giveaway of an hour and post the link on the forum the last 10 minutes it still exists!

Aaaaand gone. Nothing to see here. Move along.
