In the email you say only 1 entry per person, we check IP's.

What of those who have more then one in the household who use the same router?

(I just joined the list, is KatVixen able to join the list as well?)

No worries if not, completely understand, just don't want to get blacklisted when she tries to join the list.

Boogie 2004-03-29 12:06 PM

signed up

excited :D

Jim 2004-03-29 12:19 PM

Go ahead Torn...
When a winner is chosen, we will look at the signup before we send out the email. As long as we don't see anything bad, the email will go out.

spacemanspiff 2004-03-29 12:27 PM

I signed up about 30 minutes ago but haven't recieved the confirmation email. Does it take longer than that?

Jim 2004-03-29 12:29 PM

Confirmation email should be instantaneous. Have you gotten previous newsletters?

SlickRick 2004-03-29 12:31 PM

I signed up also

Like spacemanspiff, I have not gotten the email that the page says to comfirm. I emailed you as the page says.

Greenguy 2004-03-29 12:48 PM

If you're not getting the confirmation link emailed to you, odds are there's a filter on your system or on your mail server that's blocking it.

SlickRick 2004-03-29 12:54 PM

I don't have any filters set through my ISP. Only thing I got is blocked emails... ?

Dr Bizzaro 2004-03-29 12:55 PM

Come to poppa, my precious $$$.

priest 2004-03-29 01:11 PM

Ok, GG & Jim. You can close the SU form now. I already signed so this activation form is unnecessary anymore |jester|

I have a suggestion - once someone wins it (I mean when I win it) can you post the names of the guys that were sent winning mails during these weeks leading to this hmmm sort of jackpot?

Yeah. I even clicked on the link on the email to go to the new signup form. If it's coming from the same email addy, then my spam filter shouldn't be catching it. I checked the spam folder just in case and it's not there either.

Jim 2004-03-29 01:19 PM

spacemanspiff
All I can say is try it again. We have never had a problem with the mailer. So, I don't think it is on our end.

SlickRick 2004-03-29 01:20 PM

I got registered, never mind. had to use my ISP email


SHOW ME THE MONEY GG & Jim
I have medical bills I gotta pay

spacemanspiff 2004-03-29 01:33 PM

OK, I figured it out. I used my ISP address to register again, got the subject line of the conf email, searched my email folders for the original and found where my spam filter was putting it. I confirmed the original, and I'll not confirm the second signup.

Damn spam.

Surfn 2004-03-29 01:34 PM

Send it this way and I'll make sure that it goes to good use at MAGII. :D

soggy 2004-03-29 02:26 PM

Yeah im in! Got my confirmation email quick.

latinafind 2004-03-29 02:40 PM

Very nice contest guys.

All signed up now and praying!

Jim 2004-03-29 02:42 PM

Yep, once I was finally able to install the email software, we have never had anything that resembles a problem. As long as I don't attempt to send any type of code :)

So, once again, if you have any problems...it's not on our end. First look to any filter you might have and then check with your email isp. If you don't get the confirmation email, you won't get any mail. Don't use hotmail or Yahoo (I think)

And remember, we will be deleting this list once we have a winner. You will never get any mail you don't want.

Oh yeah, I have been approving all spam arrests and other spam programs. So, don't worry about that if you use anything to prevent spam.

dareutwo 2004-03-29 03:06 PM

Took all of 30 seconds to get through here.
With Norton, Cloud Net and firewall installed.

though GGandJim have their own email box
:)

Pornopat 2004-03-29 03:47 PM

I just signed up.
Got an immediate confirmation mail
so everything went smooth as a baby's bottom...

SeeNudity 2004-03-29 05:54 PM

Ouch, my mailserver is down. That figures. I hope it comes through when the server is back up. Watch it be down on the day of the drawing...

grand 2004-03-29 11:09 PM

great idea! now, show me the money|bananna|

Alphawolf 2004-03-29 11:14 PM

Yep- great idea. You filter out the non readers and give us active readers a better shot. |shake|

As soon as I got the newsletter I subscribed to the new newsletter and got the confirmation e-mail right away.

webgurl 2004-03-29 11:30 PM

awesome contest greenguy and jim |afro|

Yah, I really need to get a second IP for my wife. It's hard for us both to do free sites or galleries without being accused of breaking the one per day submit rules.

Fonz 2004-03-30 02:51 AM

I'm in desperate need of a lung transplantation. I also need surgery to my gall-bladder. It just happens to happen that I'm $2,500 short.
Please save me :)

adamneve 2004-03-30 04:23 AM

why did u tell everyone i wanted that prize |bananna|

ardentgent 2004-03-30 08:22 AM

OK. Found my confirmation in my spam filter.

Hey, if I go thru the filter and find a previous GG&J newsletter with me as the winner, can I claim the prize?

|jester|

Jim 2004-03-30 08:29 AM

ardentgent
You only have 24 hours to claim any email giveaway. Thinking about it, there has got to be a few people that find the winning email too late. They must be too embarrassed to say anything :)

Vitor 2004-03-30 09:42 AM

I want $2500....

that would especially suck for the 2500 giveaway |jester|

sickkittens 2004-03-30 09:57 PM

Just signed up and got confirmation immediately. |buddy|

dareutwo 2004-03-31 12:48 AM

Jim -
What day to you send the emails out normally?
(just don't want to miss the 24 hour window - but we go to the cabin every weekend)

Greenguy 2004-03-31 01:15 AM

On Monday April 5th we will email everyone on the list, but only one of those emails will have the special code to post on the board to claim the $2500 - and you must do this within 24 hours of us sending out the mail.
:D

ShermsShack 2004-03-31 04:31 AM

Thanks for doing it this way! It's much more organized, and I'm sure you'll be guranteed a quick winner (hopefully me)! |rasta|

bdld 2004-03-31 12:07 PM

I'm subscribed.. can't wait for the 5th!

digifan 2004-03-31 12:39 PM

I am reading.. just was not posting for a while, could not even log in for the last two weeks. I have no idea why... |angry| but I am here |waves|

MatrixFan 2004-04-02 04:48 PM

Signed up and ready to win!

amadman 2004-04-02 05:37 PM

I am signed up |bananna|

If I win I am going to buy an old dial-a-ride bus some people have for sale down the road. I am thinking I could set up some kind of trips to the boat casino an hour plus from here. |jester|

Driving is one of the only things I like as much as sitting in front of a computer. :)
