Not so sure on that :P </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64694 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:18:02 +0000 GMMan, A+, Game Modder 64694@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>@thenameipicked: Correction: it was actually a regular Giveaway, but for gaming. But yes, they only gave hints (two of them, I think).</p> <p>I do like the hint thing. When there&#39;s something big, give a couple of hints and make everybody excited. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64662 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:35:22 +0000 thenameipicked 64662@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>@mgrlog<br /> I agree, people will want quality software, and the goal of GOTD is to giveaway quality software everyday. We all know that this doesn&#39;t happen, however, because there is quality software given away frequently, we keep the traffic, and we keep it every day. Secondly, it *is* part of their contract with the developers to not reveal anything earlier. (With the exception of 1 game they gave away, but they just gave hints then :P) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64660 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:36:59 +0000 winracer 64660@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Nice thought. Yes it would be nice to see the downloads for the week. but I agree I do like the Surprise </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64659 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:27:52 +0000 mgrlog 64659@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the comment Buzz and Wizzard. I think the environment improves by posting a calendar. For example, if I look at today&#39;s offering and it appeals to me, I&#39;ll read the comments and (if favorable) download the software. That is a quality download. If I look at the offering and it has no appeal to me, there will not be a download and I will exit the site. Traffic actaully improves because if there was an item that did appeal to me in the future, I would never let that opportunity pass me by. Web people want quality hits not quantity hits. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64405 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:23:26 +0000 Buzz 64405@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Good idea imo, but wiz nailed it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64355 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:01:01 +0000 notblocklox 64355@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Did you ask the developers if they would like an advance announcement?</p> <p>I wanted to buy Womble because I thought that is that tool which I ever wanted. But before the purchase, I have a look into my GOTD calendar: Yippee! Lucky me - GOTD will give it to me for 0.00 €. No, purchase for me, no money for the company.<br /> I don&#39;t think the developer would be as happy as I am.</p> <p>Though I don&#39;t download very often, I&#39;m still excited about the surprise.</p> <p>graylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64349 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:29:35 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 64349@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Companies who utitlize this &quot;deal of the day&quot; kind of structure, don&#39;t advertise the coming deals for a reason....loss of traffic. If you already knew what was coming, you wouldn&#39;t come back until it was necessary. I&#39;m all for leaving it the way it is. &quot;If it aint broke, don&#39;t fix it.&quot; </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64348 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:08:15 +0000 Inas 64348@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Actually, &quot;GiveAwayoftheDay&quot; does not necessarily mean &quot;Surprise GiveAwayoftheDay,&quot; so I am all in favor of having a calendar to advertise upcoming offerings. There&#39;s nothing wrong with that. That said, I&#39;m flexible either way. It&#39;s all good.</p> <p>Best,<br /> Happy </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64306 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 04:36:01 +0000 GMMan, A+, Game Modder 64306@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Ahh... Giveaway of the Day. It&#39;s always a surprise what you&#39;d get everyday. If there was a calendar, that would defeat the purpose. I do remember that there was a calendar on the front page that you can click on to go to that day&#39;s posts, but I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s still there after the facelift. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6189#post-64261 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:21:32 +0000 mgrlog 64261@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Would enjoy learning the daily offerings not only for today but also for the upcoming week. This way I can set reminders on important software you are offering so that I don&#39;t miss it. </p>
