The Gift Giving Thread V30 - Circle jerking around The Easter Bunny's cold, lifeless body

and their will still be gifting, maybe not as much, but then its better we moved into FT.
[QUOTE=Pascall;21144524]So now it's in FT. And it's better suited for chat/gifting. Trust me, GGT isn't going to die. And Painseeker is active when he wants to be. And if Painseeker or Jobby doesn't want to make them, I'm sure one of the other GGTers will volunteer.[/QUOTE]
It may not die, but it sure as shit won't have as much gifting as it used to, that's for fucking sure. Hell, it's already quite obvious that it doesn't. And what little gifting does take place either makes us 'an elitist circlejerk' or causes people to complain and whine about who won because this is the first raffle he entered or whatever.
GGT is done for, it's gone down the shitter. It won't be restored to its former glory, ever.
[QUOTE=dutchah;21144436]Well, as for as Jobby's concerned (who is apparently in control of GGT after Jake stepped down), this is the last official version.[/QUOTE]
Rated bad reading. What I said to you on Steam was that I was going to let The Evil make the next thread, who decided with some others that it would be the last one.

The thing is, people complain that there isn't enough gifting going on, and yet contribute nothing. Hypocritical much?
If you're going to criticize the thread, then you don't have to be here. Either contribute, make friends and chat, or just go.
Why don't you guys want it to end?
It's a good time to end it.
30 motherfuckin' versions.
I nominate Pascall as new leader.

Im gonna miss this thread.

Herp, my bad. Still, this again shows in what state the GGT is.

Lady, I'm free to criticize the thread, that's the great thing of living in a free country. And some people just can't contribute, it's simple as that.

So? We want it to survive, that's it.

Well like I said last night when all this was being decided, someone will probably continue making the threads.

So, you can't give gifts and yet you get angry at other people who can't give gifts as well?
Hm.
why are we ending it anyway.
[QUOTE=reecematee;21144728]why are we ending it anyway.[/QUOTE]
I don't think anybody really knows.
whos with me , after V31, we make V1, and start all over again, maybe with a different name
[QUOTE=reecematee;21144728]why are we ending it anyway.[/QUOTE]
Because for some reason, some people think that the move to FT is so tragic and heartbreaking.
[QUOTE=Pascall;21144723]So, you can't give gifts and yet you get angry at other people who can't give gifts as well?
Hm.[/QUOTE]
Where did I mention myself specifically?
I do get angry at people who think they have the right to receive stuff because they've gifted, if that makes any sense. That, and people who just beg mercilessly to no end.
[QUOTE=reecematee;21144747]whos with me , after V31, we make V1, and start all over again, maybe with a different name[/QUOTE]
Doesn't that essentially make it V32?
[QUOTE=Jobby;21144746]I don't think anybody really knows.[/QUOTE]
Probably because it's been going downhill for some time and the mods are getting seriously pissed off about it.
I still say we just need one final thread.
Gift Giving Thread - The End.
One more thread to fit most of our needs in, but after that it's done for the time being.
Atleast until the holidays, then pascall can be like GGT - A Fresh Start! Happy Holidays.
[QUOTE=reecematee;21144747]whos with me , after V31, we make V1, and start all over again, maybe with a different name[/QUOTE]
This is not a bad idea.
Then make the next thread V1. Ending it on an odd number would hurt my OCD.

Well nobody likes those people.
What I'm saying is, why do people hate GGT because "there's no gifting", and yet refuse to contribute themselves? It's just hypocritical and closing the thread down because "no gifting hurr" is probably the stupidest reason.
Another thing is that a LOT of the gifting goes on outside of the thread as well, including people who have received gifts and not posted about it in the thread. Gifting does go on, people just don't seem to notice when it does because it's drowned out by beggars.
If we are going to end it, I wouldn't mind starting it again around the end of November. We still have the chat after all, and that's probably never going to die.
yes thats it, It wont be the end of the gifting thread, it will be the start

I love it when a plan comes together
I feel like I'm going to cry.
okay.
if you want one more thread then its over for a while vote gaybows.
If you want my idead, start afresh at V1 vote tools
[QUOTE=Pascall;21144815]Well nobody likes those people.[/quote]
Then why don't I hear any complaining about Jake or Levi, who've done pretty much nothing except asking for stuff lately (Or Jake and his 'donators raffle', which proves Greeman's circlejerk argument)? Why haven't I heard complaints about Painseeker, who's list of games and playtime is abominable to say at the least?

That's like having a car store where no cars are sold. You don't keep it in business, do you?

Congratulations, you've just given another reason why we need to stop. We obviously don't seem to need the thread anymore, so it's lost its original purpose. If you want a general chat thread, then make it.
"The Gift Giving Thread V1 - The End"
How about that?
Fuck it, do whatever you guys want.

I don't believe you saw when we established that Jake has spent $2000 on GGT. :colbert: In fact, he's buying me SoulSilver.

People are supposed to post in the thread when they receive a gift, some people just don't. That doesn't mean everyone gifts behind the scenes. The only reason it's not noticed is because there are beggars each page coupled along with chat. Now that GGT is located in FT, chat is a-ok, which is what it's used for most of the time. People just don't feel like going through each page to locate who has been gifted in between all the beggars, trolls, and chat. Fact is, GGT is where it belongs now and if we have to end it for a while, then so be it. But it will never be completely gone. It will come back whether you guys want it to or not.

I stopped gift because people are ungrateful and also reported me to Adsense when I was the only one having a AdSense run site. I also know who reported me, so fuck that I am gifting anyone I don't know. And Yes i ask, for what? A cent at most. But no people are cheapskates. And i voted Box, i want a V31, and then a V32..etc etc
[editline]06:45PM[/editline]
And i have gifted for a worth of 150 bucks.

Let's do this. Steam chat is fine but it's fun having the thread to come and do stupid shit, like making those comics everyone started posting a while back. Since we're finally in Fast Threads I'm in favour of having a thread here for chatting.

Absolutely.
What would we call it though?
