It's like the community hates me. All of the oldest actif members have won anything, exept me. It really sucks... >.< *sigh*
I am one of the oldest members and I haven't won anything with the give aways.

ModeratorGuys,
We really love your ever glowing presence here at this site (This is not sarcasm, I'm afraid I really sound sarcastic, Takao took notice of that. LOL). In fact, you were here way before me. But the draws are really random (well except Grip Games' 5-in-1). Don't worry, there are more giveaway promos that this site will be hosting thanks to the game devs' generosity (there is one giveaway that I'm sure to come out soon.) You can try your luck there.
And by the way, pspgamer01, how can post an avatar to my profile here in the forums. I don't know how :).

It's just so annoying and suspicious that when there is a giveway with more than 100 comments there are everytime 1-5 actif forum member winners. :@ which not include me :(. I am the last one of the oldest members. Guys like "count" (guys that joins 4th quarter 2009) aren't actif anymore. I joined januari but yeah...

As the guy that has pulled the names from the hat on most of the competitions I can confirm that they are completely random. I use a random number generator. I too have been surprised at some peoples luck here, winning multiple times. And I always secretly hope that the regulars number comes up, as I would love to reward you guys for your presence, but as you know I do by the book.
By the way, we also cull a lot of cheaters. We check to see if the winning comments IP is also on any other comments. If it is it gets disqualified. You would be surprised how many people cheat and disqualify themselves.

MemberDon't forget that the size of the community probably increases with each passing month. This means that the number of people entering each competition increases each time. This in turn means that the likihood of any given person winning decreases with each competition.
However, don't despair dude! The winners are selected randomly (which is how it should be). Just keep entering and there is a good chance that your time will come eventually. Of course, there is also a slim chance that you'll never win anything regardless of how many competitions you enter, but that's the nature of probability for you! ;-)

I'm a bit late posting this, but you called it "suspicious" that you haven't won anything in random draws where there are usually well over 50 participants? Sounds rather paranoid to me. Consider that with only 3 participants (and only 1 prize), any given participant is already more likely to lose than win.
I also found it confusing that you thought the community was against you; it isn't as if the community chooses the winners.
Chris, I hope it doesn't get counted as cheating if you make a comment to enter the draw and then make subsequent comments in reply to other users' comments.
