Hi folks,
Well I guess the discussion on voting contests gave us a good insight on how people who are for it, or against it, or the fence sitters feel about it. Thanks for answering my call to share your views. I appreciate it. To outsider, no apologies needed. All views are valid even if they are laced with insults or profanities.
On the contrary, I think open discussions are healthy. People who can see this as a healthy discourse will be able to see the objective in the discussion. People who thinks everybody else here is angry will see it as pointless argument and miss the point.
Anyway, whether you are still going to join voting contests or not, or cheat to increase your votes that is your own decision. But for sure, I will not post up any pure voting contests. Those who have exceptional strengths in this area, I am afraid you have to look for other sources to find your kind of competition and competitors to pit yourself against.
I hope I will still continue to receive contest leads from you all. No kopitiam but still have email la. My email is
contestjunkie888@gmail.comIt might be a bit inconvenient but it is not all the inconvenient la. Still very fast one :)
Reminder once again. If you are joining a contest and it requires you to forward to 10 friends,
contestjunkie888@gmail.com is not your friend ah...
Ani thanks. I have given it many thoughts, since Monday. The conclusion at the end of each day is the same.
ED, u r giving the 2 jokers too much credit. They were a factor but only just 1 part of the reason why I decide to close the Kopitiam.
ContestLover has just started temping and trying to get used to the grind of working life ;ppp He's too tired now after each working day to post contests. So when he get used to it all, he'll start posting again. Ooi dude, don't take too long ok? ;p
As for me... This is my peak period. Only at the end of the year then got some lull period. If we are slow in posting, don't scold us ok?
We are going to be really selective in what we post. Good contests with good prizes will get higher priority. Shitty contests, lousy prizes etc will not get posted.
If you wonder why the leads you send in are not posted, it will be due to one or more of the following reasons below.
1. Shitty contest
2. Lousy prizes
3. Posted already
4. Spam contest
5. We busy and the contest just ain't that big a deal to post
6. Purchase required
7. No proper TnC
8. Mystery prize
9. Prizes not worth the effort
I guess you won't get to hear much of movies, win premiums or goody bags kind of contests here anymore. If you want to join those, I recommend Cornflict's blog. I believe Lobang also posts his regular leads at
Cornflict too, right Lobang? Cornflict is also busy and ploughing away at his Industrial Attachment right now. Hey let us know when you are back in action yah? :)
Ok folks, hope to continue to hear about your wins, your grumbles, your joy and your pain in the comments section and I hope you all had fun at the Kopitiam while it lasted.
Kopi Boy, aiyah dun like that la... :) U just take it that Kopitiam undergoing renovation for now ok? See how la. Maybe when economy improve liao, then we open coffeeshop again ;p
