Free Silver

Postby beauanderos » Sun Sep 23, 2012 8:36 am

Ok, guys... I gotta admit. I'm scratching my head on this one. Whenever someone posts a link to some magazine offering a silver dime for a buck, say... there will be pages of posts of those who signed up and thus subject themselves to endless spam emails and phone calls... all to "win" a cheap dime. And yet, for five weeks I've been running contests and giving away silver as prizes... and only the same twenty to thirty members (out of a membership of 1241) are even playing??? How hard is it to submit a couple of guesses as to what the price of silver will be in a week's time? There are also current ongoing contests for Copper, Nickel, and Gold. Like Barry just decided... if people don't even sign up to play these contests... why run them? Have to say... the Golden Goose might just get constipated if this doesn't pick up soon. :roll: :? :shifty: :lol:

It seems not enough people are clicking on the VIEW NEW POSTS link at the top of the page, to even find out about these contests.

Maybe a RealCent admin can post a link at the top saying "CHECK OUT OUR CONTESTS PAGE OR WE WON'T GET ANYMORE FREE SILVER!!!"

Making a call or sending an email for a dime is easy, but some of the contests have weird rules just for the sake of having weird rules. If it takes ten minutes to figure it out and come up with a guess that isn't taken, that's ten minutes out of my sorting time.

+1 Sometimes it does get a little confusing as well as time consuming with the rules...... also, most of you guys on here are young enough that you could be my son..... so, sometimes I feel like I would be taking candy from a baby if I won.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I sure appreciate the contests and free silver! More please! :mrgreen:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Now there is a topic for another thread. Active participation by the membership has really dropped since I joined.
