Where I am.... (Flat Screen edition)
- Mason gave me his referral
- I sent mason my email that I used
- I signed up and did the Ebay promo & bid on an item
- Am now waiting for Mason to send me names of people I can refer

Guys, how do I do this proper? I want in.

NO DON'T SIGN UP without a referral or you can't be in the "chain"....you could still do it but it messes up the group thing.
I'm assuming that the next step is Mason sending me 8 names to give my referral link to

Oy yoy yoy. If I start my own iPod thing, are there 5 of you willing to use my referral link?
If you are willing, just reply to this saying
Bruce: I will
and I'll PM you and we'll arrange stuff.
If no one does that, I'll just continue waiting for Mason.

Where I'm at:
- Standing in line
- Got a PM, but I'm not sure if I should follow the referral contained within it until i get some form of confirmation from Mason... where the hell is he now?

Should there be separate Ipod and flat screen threads? This is too disorderly. I'll gladly make an iPod thread.

Just so you know...IMO the only good offers in this are Columbiahouse & Ebay
Columbiahouse you get a bunch of DVDs for a low cost but you are still shelling out some cash...but confirmation would be instant.
EBay is free but the confirmation will likely take days.
I have done Columbiahouse myself and I love it. I'd have done it this time too if I wasn't already a member.
Now all I need is 8 referrals for the FLATSCREEN from Mason

Why would the ebay one take days? Do you have to wait for the auction to end?

I don't know why, I have just heard that the EBay one takes longer...guess I'll find out.Mister Zimbu said:
Anyone hoping for a conga line needs to wait for confirmation from Mason OR send Robochimp a PM. My money's on Robochimp to actually get things done, but I also know Mason will work hard on this.
People need to know this ISN'T the type of thing that happens overnight. NO ONE should sign up on their own, really defeats the purpose. You should also NOT sign up under any PMs sent to you by anyone other than Mason or Robochimp. If you sign up on your own, you are starting your own conga line, which devolves the thread into a "Sign up under me cause I'm popular" thread.
Robo is doing a first come, first serve deal, if you are impatient and want it done now, he is handling ALL referrals for people.

Question. I'm assuming all the people we refer need to complete the offer as well for this to work?
BTW- I need some referrals. If you want to do this, PM me.

Are there even 8 people here wanting the flatscreen? I see lots wanting the IPod...
Eventually I will just say "if you want a flatscreen referral, PM me"...hehe
But I'll wait for Mason as he is probably overwhelmed by now...but PM me if you want

I'm going to start a WELL-ORGANIZED Ipod thread.

I hope I don't win this $410 Dell PC :\
yeah let's all start our own thread, that will get things working
if you signed up by yourself, you're sol unless you can get others to sign up underneath you
I got an idea, everyone should sign up, start a thread containing their referral link, and watch to see whose thread gets closed.
Bad idea here, no need to make it worse, whatever happened to PATIENCE? Or contact Robochimp.

I just think it would be better to have separate thread sfor the ipod and the monitor with clearly defined instructions.

do my referrals actually need to complete the offer to make this work?
Stuggernaut
Grandma's Chippy
Well I'm under Mason, who already has his referrals by now...I'm just waiting for him to tell me who to PM next.
As it stands I have a list of people that were interested in the Flat Screen in the order that they posted. But Mason calls the shots

Agreed. I want in on the tv. I'll have my girlfriend do it with our other address(since I already fucked up). Someone PM me instructions and a referral link.

I dunno... I don't want to pass judgement on this in the state that I am in now (slightly drunk and half asleep). I will respect any other mod's actions, but tomorrow morning when I am at work (SIGH) I guess we can lay down the final verdict for these topics.
I could use a flatscreen, already got an iPod, though I'd love one for my sister. ;p
Keep it to ONE topic for now.

Okay. right now I will say this, anyone out to scam GAF or GAFfers will be perm-banned, no if, ands, or buts. My or any other mod's decision is final, if this topic or any other of the sort is deemed unacceptable, re-creation of a topic such as this one or the other one is, you guessed it, a perma-ban.
Fair? I think so.

What I mean is, can they just sign up for an offer and be done with it, or do they have to sign up for the offer AND have eight people do it too for it to work for me?

Oy, jesus. My intention wasn't to scam anyone. It was simply to pick up the pace a bit, make things clearer, and state the instructions.
Yeesh.

Thanks Wellington.
People, the ONLY way anyone gets anything with this thread is to stay on target and ABOVE ALL, be patient.
Wait for your link from Mason or Robo, sign up, then wait your turn. If you want the conga line to move faster, pass your link to other online friends, work/school acquaintances, and family. But if you sign up by yourself, you are effectively out of this conga line. Therefore, any pms/threads/replys in this thread are nothing but spam.
Just be patient.
