OMG what a precedent that would create. :P</p> <p>I would suggest you get in touch directly with the developers at <a href="http://www.anvir.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anvir.com/</a> and see what arrangement they can make (they might even do a great deal on a full license for AnVir Pro).</p> <p>It's certainly worth asking - at the worst, they will just say "no". </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3658#post-38997 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:55:20 +0000 jplutchok 38997@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Dear GOTD:</p> <p>I rushed into my office this morning at 9:30 (Israel time, which is 11:30 Pacific time) specifically to install AnVir Task Manager on my office computer. I repeated my efforts to activate constantly for about an hour, but every time got the dreaded "Activation module failed to connect to giveawayoftheday.com" message. I rarely have this problem, and I'm sure the problem was at your end and not on my computer. Perhaps your server was overloaded?</p> <p>I am very disappointed, because I really like AnVir and have reviewed it very favorably both in previous GOTD comments and in my "Jonathan's Tool Bar &#38; Grill" utilities blog (see post #57 at <a href="http://jonathanstoolbar.blogspot.com/2008/02/57-new-love-in-my-life.html)" rel="nofollow">http://jonathanstoolbar.blogspot.com/2008/02/57-new-love-in-my-life.html)</a>. </p> <p>You know me (as JonathansToolBar&#38;Grill in the comments). I am a long-term GOTD devotee, visit your site every day, and frequently contribute useful information in comments. Can you help me with activating AnVir Task Manager? Is there any way you can provide me a late activation? </p> <p>I will be very grateful for any help you can give. Thank you in advance. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1249/page/2#post-16303 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:55:26 +0000 JerryChance 16303@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yes, still digging around trying to find good freeware sites.

Hopefully past topics can remain useful to people who want to quickly go back and find the tips or links in a minimum of time and effort.</p> <p>If your own posts end up on the cutting room floor, don't take it too personally - usually I focus more on "What was said" instead of "Who said it" - and as a result my posts are often the first to go. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2370#post-15323 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 14:15:06 +0000 LeKanaw 15323@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>&lt;:-) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2370#post-15321 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 13:55:09 +0000 delenn13 15321@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>JK=Just Kidding :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2370#post-15320 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 13:52:03 +0000 LeKanaw 15320@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Delenn, so nice to bump into u again :-) Hope all is well in ur "Galaxie"!<br /> Huhh, who is "JK".

But Mr. B it was my first ever post on that page. JK I know why he did it. </p> <p>Some one asked a question that didn't have anything to do with the Software that was offered and Mr. B answered to direct them to the Forum and I did the same. He deleted the person's post, <strong>HIS</strong> post and mine never even made it to the page.

I feel much better now. :-)</p> <p>Lee, I was posting a comment about today's IncControl utility giveaway, not the game. I already knew there are sometimes strange delays, so I waited a while and refreshed the page a number of times before posting again. It wasn't every few minutes, Bubby, but I did try perhaps 4 or at most 5 times over three hours. And the comment contained only one link. I did, however, also notice an error in my original comment, so shortly after submitting it I tried to post a correction. I can see where that might trigger a spambot. </p> <p>Bubby, is there some way to get whitelisted so I won't be blocked again when I have something useful to say?</p> <p>As for the two accounts, Lee, that just happened by accident. I think I established the jplutchok account ages ago, then forgot all about it and later established the JonathansToolBarAndGrill account. I think that's what happened, though I don't remember exactly.</p> <p>Anyway, thanks very much to you, the GOTD team, for some great deals on good software, and for some amusement along the way. I am, as ever, a devoted fan. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2370#post-14998 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 12:40:54 +0000 RunesageMagik 14998@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>LeKanaw, you've mixed two separate jokes in with a 3rd world country spoof! -<br /> a) NewGuinea pygmies who watch Monty Python<br /> b) MYWOT screening out mail order Arabian Princesseseses<br /> c) Nigerian scams</p> <p>That's gonna cost you a time out in the penalty box cause YOU are confusing people!

They're good for a belly laugh anytime. Maybe better even than british humor. :-) And talk about ego stroking. Nobody else ever tells me that they're willing to split 15 billion dollars their uncle stored in a mayonnaise jar before he was executed for stepping on a sidewalk crack simply because I alone out of 6 billion people was brought to their attention as an honest and ethical person. Why, just today I was planning to hop over to the Côte d'Ivoire (at my own expense) to meet a horny 24year old african princess who had her French lawyer contact me via his day old yahoo email account. :-) A smiling cabbie driven by a guy named Nugumovosmobo is supposed to take me to her tent inside a refuge camp.

Normally we delete the lot - because they arrive by the truckload. So you weren't singled out by me - the spam bot - well I think he has his eye on you. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2370#post-14988 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:49:10 +0000 RunesageMagik 14988@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Lee, fwiw, sometimes I don't bother to log on just to post a quick comment on various forums so don't judge the bar&#38;grill guy too harshly.
