Imo it is getting annoying that they just can't simply use their program or whatever the hell they use to just draw 3 names and post them???

It's because OC3D and MSI choose when the winners are announced, they'll tell us when they feel it's the right time.

Now let's all get back to topic instead of being annoying towards the hosts of this competition.
 
right chill out guys this is getting abit out of hand.

TTL outa close this compo as some of you guys are taking the mick abut considering this is compo is FREE.

this seems to happen on evry compo they have its lucky they are still going.

buck your ideas up or just dont come hear anymore its as simple as that.
 
tbh - imo, the more members rant about this, the more likely the draws will be postponed even longer.

remedy = leave this thread alone.... if you win, you will get PM'd

It may be that OC3D aren't the one's doing the draw in this case, just passing the list of names off to their contact at MSI for them to draw in whatever fashion they see fit (and in the process ensuring that no MSI employees/family win). MSI have offered recent competitions on other forums, and whilst some have already been drawn and sorted at least one hasn't been. In that instance MSI's liaison has some RL issues that are taking up his time and delaying the draw.

I hate to be white knighting all over the place but really, there are other far more egregious things wrong elsewhere on the internet and much more worthy of your rage. Yes, this is taking a little while, but it's just not that big a deal.
 
Paid for reviews? BAH HAA HAA HAA HAA! I have never heard of any reviewer getting paid-paid for reviews, they should be grateful enough to get access to free kit to review and return. Competition prizes are usually sponsored, but I have not heard of any review site getting extra $ to be able to advertise as being part of the prizes.

Traffic and advertising is how the usual current model of generating revenue in the online world, OC3D has to keep high standards to keep users coming back... or they can be more isolationist (oh Rodney) and close even more doors and windows to their content to hopefully force in more traffic and cash.

Typically once a reviewer does a review he or she gets to keep the item. Oh and Rodney gets paid for reviews too, and then sells these items on Ebay.

I know you said typically but more than you think is required to be returned after the review is completed. Alot depends on the reviewer status I beleive. Someone like Tom who has been doing this for a long time and has a large following prolly keeps more than he has to return. But one could say if they are allowed to sell it after reviewing it can be considered being paid for reviews.
 
Enough of the debating people. This is a competition, should be happy that you have got a chance to win some amazing prizes.

Sooooooooooo to deter from the bickering what would you do if you won any of the prizes??
 
put it in a big thing called a computer case maybe?

lol well if I won the mobo I would prolly sell off my AMD setup to buy a cpu and better ram (understand SB utilizes the higher clocks) if I won one of the gpu's I'd lucid it with my 570 and see what happens

If I won the mobo i'd have fun making a cardboard box case to put it in until I can get the money together for an Xigmatek Elysium.

If I won a 560ti i'd sell my 6850 and get another 560ti to SLI.
