Hey guys, I've posted up a discussion thread about organizing a Secret Santa event for the holiday season!

Check it out and join if you're up for it!

This is going to be fantastic! (:

Hi all,

I've been informed that some of the winners of Bardsley's giveaways have yet to receive their prize. Sorry to hear that you guys haven't gotten it yet even though it has already been more than 7 days.

As far as I know, Bards have been pretty busy for the past months with life so please try to understand.

Please do hang in there for a bit and I will try to get in touch with Bards and find out what is up.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, how are things? It seems that the very nature of this great group and its badass members is being taken advantage of...and that warrants judicious use of the banhammer.

When I first started this group, I assumed I would have been posting pretty much all of the giveaways. Some people thank you when you give them a game, some don't, and I was fine if I didn't receive thanks from everyone. But it soon became clear that members of this group were beginning to post giveaways for their fellow members, and that the number of members doing this was growing fast. This is a surprising behavior for me, as there are more generous people out there than I tend to realize, but it is a behavior that needs to be cultivated.

Which brings us to the banhammer. People need to give thanks and gratitude for any game won through this group. The fact that so many members have posted giveaways is amazing, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some people ruin that. So, if a winner of a giveaway does not give thanks through STEAM or EMAIL--not steamgifts.com comments--for a game won through this group within 3 days, they will be permabanned.

Feel free to sound off below if you find anything wrong with that. And I plan on starting a discussion thread where posters can leave names for people to get banned, is that a good idea?

Monkey Tommo gave away a key for Worms Retail and you just missed it! ):

Do join in on our chat and talk with us from time to time. We do like to give things away once in a while. :P But we'd like to get to know everyone more!

Hey everyone, so after posting a giveaway everyday for two weeks, I thought about giving away games in other ways. Having talked with several officers, giveaways will now also occur in group chats and also twitch.tv streams. Giveaways will occur in the normal way that everyone knows and loves at least once a week, but I am going to try out these other approaches to see how it goes. Let me know what you think. Cheers,

Bardsley
