Yeah, I don't get it either. Can't have been that many major unforeseen events...I think people are just not reading carefully (or at all, in some cases). I know some people don't check in as often as Ty, or me for that matter. But when you know days ahead of time, that isn't a valid reason for delay. No one is asking for potential recipients to check their e-mail every fifteen minutes, just to check in one time after the giveaway is concluded.
I'm not trying to criticize people who have for whatever reason not claimed their prize...but rather to emphasize that everyone really does need to read ALL the rules. You are potentially getting something for nothing...so I don't think it is too much to ask to spend a few minutes and fully understand how each giveaway works. This is a common problem...the big Christmas giveaway last year had a few similar issues. It definitely is less fun when we have to constantly remind people of the rules (which are there only to make it fair and manageable).

Wow, it must not be close enough to Black Friday--people don't have the Free/Deal Fever yet?
Congrats, kst, if you respond! Sorry you missed it, jabe1!

Yep, too busy. We bought a new home recently and all of my time is spent rehabbing it. I just forgot to check this thread!
thanks though!

Doh. I never win things. The one time I do I screw it up.
Not an excuse but work has been hectic. I work in an industry that is open 24/7/365 12 hour shifts with only 4 people to cover that...2 of them were out last week and I had to cover extra shifts. My one day off was Friday and with catching up with chores that were neglected all week I wasn't able to get online.
Oh well thank you anyway and congratulations to kst.

If kst doesn't respond give it to BigTzzy since he's on now. Otherwise you'll be doing this for a week trying to find a winner

His call, of course, but I wouldn't suggest that. The rules are there to make it fair for everyone...if you decide to throw them out just because it is slightly inconvenient, you are doing a disservice to everyone who is compliant with the rules.

Congratulations kst. I'm planning on mailing it tomorrow. The ironic thing is that I was an alternate winner for the Thrunite charger so it allowed me to give this one away and now I see you're paying it forward. :thumbsup: It's funny how events ripple like this.
BigTzzy and jabe1 I understand how things can get hectic and you're not able to remember or have time for everything. My wife helps me remember a lot of things and I wouldn't have gotten the Thrunite charger if she hadn't reminded me that it was still up for grabs. So hopefully you two will win something else if other things are given away.

Congrats guys!
Awesome giveaway
I just built a Solarforce L2T with 3 mode XML2.
I'm giving it away to my stepdaughters boyfriend ha ha
He's a good kid and always wants to play with my lights when he comes over.
I loaned him the Thrunite TiS.
And every guy needs a good light right?

I was hoping that kst claimed it because the next one on the list was the neighbor's cat.

Believe me, I was tempted a few times. Definitely learned some things, over the whole course of the thread (when I started it, it never occurred to me that getting people to claim their item(s) would be a repeat issue.). Luckily, most giveaways went smoothly despite my naiveté, and problems were the exception, not the norm.

Ha ha was wondering if there was anyone else in or this could have gone on in an endless loop till someone responded. Actually this is my second alternate win, first was the Ultrafire package. Thanks all for the congrats and sorry to BigTzzy and jabe1.

Of course, you can just post the info here, or PM me with details. I'm off next week, though, so if you want me to run the giveaway, it'll probably be a couple weeks before I get around to it. Your call.
