Greetings community,

To celebrate the approaching one year anniversary of SteamGifts on June 1st, an exciting new feature is being implemented called Contributor Giveaways. Contributor Giveaways will only be available for "official giveaways" for now while we're testing the feature. If it goes over well, users will have the option when creating giveaways. Feedback will definitely be appreciated as we work this out for site-wide use.

The giveaways will work by setting two variables: time and amount. These giveaways only take into account received gifts, including those from group and private giveaways, created prior to the contributor giveaway. For example, cg sets up a contributor giveaway for $25 contributed over the past 30 days. If a member did not contribute $25 within the past 30 days, then that user does not meet the criteria for entering and could not create a giveaway past that point to become eligible. They would have needed to create their giveaway(s) before the contributor one started.

We want to thank those that have contributed over the last year, it's been a lot of fun and we've seen some tremendously generous users. We even reached a few major milestones! We've rocketed past 100,000 users and members have submitted over 50,000 gifts totaling over $500,000. We hope the second year of SteamGifts will be just as much fun. It's the gifters that make this site possible and hope they appreciate this new feature.

Best regards,

Nice feature but do you really have to show them 50 times? It would be enough to have them pinned first and not showing up every 5th spot.

I wonder if it's an issue with the SG Enhancement Addon? Very annoying whatever causes it.

its a nice idea. But I think the 100$ minimum is weird because if you give away like 2 copies of cs:go or some Dota2 copies, you didnt spent a single cent on anything but still "have run giveaways worth 100$" ... well yeah that's the only thing I dont like about that...

Dang it. Looks like I'm going to have to do fewer chat giveaways, and more actual giveaways...

A fair reward to all those who have been generously giving without having expected this to happen. 'Grats to all of you and thank you cg and lokonopa for this site :)

The key from bundle invasion I was fearing of earlier, seems to have started by the way...with lots of people claiming they are not from bundles but still keys :(

Edit : Requesting a Trash duty rank to clean the mess up!

I think this is a wonderful idea. I wish they'd set up something like this over at tf2r.com, but it'd be much more difficult to approximate values.

Thanks guys

It's a nice gesture that I really didn't expect.

Honestly we all hope to win some giveaways but in the end we make our own without asking anyone for any in return. I guess the spirit of the site it's precisely that... If we all contribute, in the end we all end up winning too. But each participates in his own way and may have his own vision of the site spirit.

Can only say: Gratz, Keep Up, And Happy Birthday Steamgifts
