I'm happy and thankful for the games and programs that I've receive from GOTD! I've been very selective on what I've downloaded, always researching prior to installing. I can't fathom what a mess my PC would be if I'd have taken every giveaway. There certainly wouldn't be any room for any of other the freebies that folks have posted in these forums. Regardless of what the whiners think, there have been some fantastic programs and games given away. I'm certainly not going to kick this gift horse in the mouth. </p> <p>In addition, these forums have brought me much joy and amusement over the last several months. There are so many interesting, fun and helpful characters here who I've grown very fond of. (Just think...I was afraid to join in and only lurked for almost a year.) Love you guys and gals! I hope we can continue to be a part of this pleasant community for many years to come. Thanks GOTD team, the forum volunteers and all of you!</p> <p>Maizeylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29258 Mon, 12 May 2008 07:28:53 +0000 Messenger 29258@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Opps and a belated Happy Mothers Day to the Moms here. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29257 Mon, 12 May 2008 07:27:24 +0000 Messenger 29257@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I agree Buckleysmom. Some of those people act like little children who cry and get mad at Christmas time when you missed 1 out of the ten gifts they wanted on the shopping list. Very spoiled and ungrateful at times. What really drives me nuts are one or two that come in and scream "VIRUS VIRUS DON'T D/L" When there are maybe 2000 who D/L with no problem. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29245 Mon, 12 May 2008 06:36:26 +0000 graylox 29245@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>you are all great</p> <p>funnyloxes </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29243 Mon, 12 May 2008 06:34:06 +0000 funkymom 29243@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>i'm just posting something so that i can say.....</p> <p>-funkylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29229 Mon, 12 May 2008 00:45:20 +0000 creamypretzel 29229@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I agree with you, Buckleysmom.</p> <p>-PretzelLox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29227 Mon, 12 May 2008 00:37:47 +0000 Buckleysmom 29227@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>graylox.....I've really been getting a charge out of the many names you find for your self ending in "lox".

It is a shame that a vocal minority spoils it for the majority of users. </p> <p>Thankfully the forum is vastly different to the comments section. The amount of knowledge I have gained from this section as well as the myriad links to freebies for both games and software is invaluable. </p> <p>And for everyone that contributes a huge thank you to all.</p> <p>PS. Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers in the Forum. It is also Mothers Day in Australia although Fathers Day is a different day, go figure. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29123 Sun, 11 May 2008 02:09:57 +0000 Buckleysmom 29123@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Copmom......yes, you're exactly right....I've noticed the same thing.</p> <p>Paulga.....and that's just how it should be.</p> <p>Thanks....y'all make me feel much better :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29120 Sun, 11 May 2008 01:00:01 +0000 Paulga 29120@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I check in to GOTD every day, some games are not for me, as some programs on offer are not what i can make use of, however i still check in case there is something to suit my taste and requirement, and if i am unsure they are to my liking i can try them for FREE, no strings,as for the people who run GOTD, i can find no fault, only high praise, thanks for all your good work, then there is the forum and the members, friendly helpful interesting people, " all of them " no angry comments, relaxed, but exciting individuals all.</p> <p>Paulga </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29119 Sun, 11 May 2008 00:47:19 +0000 copmom 29119@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>BK you said it very well! Have you ever noticed that people complain more about free things? Maybe because if there's no price tag, they don't value it? It's not just with games, it's with everything in general. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29114 Sun, 11 May 2008 00:05:14 +0000 Buckleysmom 29114@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>The point is not that people should not leave comments, even negative ones. If someone doesn't like the game, fine, gripe away. But they shouldn't say this site should be closed down just because they're unhappy with what's being giving for free. If someone thinks it's not worth coming here, fine, don't come! Please don't come! Others will take your place anyway. But don't rag on the GOTD team and tell them to shut down. Not that they'll listen anyway, but how would you feel if all you heard was yourself and your team members being trashed cause you didn't "perform" up to someone's standards. For all those "trashers" know the team's been knocking themselves out trying to get better stuff. To those people I say, "This site isn't here just for you and shouldn't close just for you.......there's a whole world of others out there who appreciate it and want it to stay. The GOTD site does not revolve around YOU". That is the point.</p> <p>And yes, I'm another forum addict....I love this place! I love the freebies too even if I can't always use them. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29104 Sat, 10 May 2008 23:16:12 +0000 copmom 29104@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>We can't always have our cake and eat it too! I'm just glad that there ARE offerings. I think the developers would want to let us have a good sampling of what they have so we would possibly buy their other products... so as funkymom said, 'worthwhile to who'?? We each have our own taste.<br /> GrouchE .. I agree with you. When I first started coming here I did get bogged down with EVERYTHING that was offered.. heck, it was free. I've learned to tailor my downloads .. first to try something that might be good IF it sounds good, and if not needed, delete. And not to get everything just because it "is".<br /> In friendship ~ copmom (a forum addict). </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3267#post-29094 Sat, 10 May 2008 21:53:41 +0000 Lockett 29094@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I don't see how the latest game could be worthwhile to <em>anybody</em>.
