[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 4476113, member: 56"]I had a giveaway a long time ago and the person who won it had signed up apparently because they came across the give away and they haven't been seen since. I felt bad about that. I think giveaways should go to people who have demonstrated an ongoing interest in the site and who participate in an ongoing fashion. Shipping is, of course, the cost factor.
