December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Look at all the whiners.. xD On a side note, I LOVE the Archan image! xDD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

A deadline is a DEADLINE. Whats the point of an extension? I imagine the point is, that the staff havent finished sorting it so they have had to extend it...IMO it stinks. I agree with the people that have said its unfair towards the people that have spent loads and invested a lot of time in getting the required books before the supposed "deadline"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

sigh Good things are worth waiting for..right? waddles off to buy more books

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Not that Im one of those people, but I agree with the people who made a huge effort, spending millions just to get the last few before the deadline - and now the prices are just going to go down. A deadline should be just that - a deadline. But it's good news for me, I have more time to vend/restock.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't mind waiting another 15 days for a reward... heck I'll most likely even find another couple books before the end of the contest. But... I find it odd how in nearly every site I'm on that has an event or contest they almost always extend the deadlines further. I realize that these events are supposed to get people fired up to participate on the sites and whatnot, but a deadline should mean just that. Aside from real issues such as site downtime or glitches... what is the point of saying that something will end on a particular day only to tell everyone that the lazy or inattentive people will get another shot? It kind of devalues the time (and prizes) of those who have been participating all along.

Just one user's humble opinion.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OMG thanks i totally forgot

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I guess I have never been yelled at before for stating my opinion. that IS what being able to post on these news updates is all about isn't it? I think what us "whiners" are trying to say, is perhaps if you could all think of it as spending some hard work, and time to accomplish a goal...only to have someone swoop in and say..."hey good news, we have extended the deadline so the procrastinators can get in on some of this...you don't mind right?" yea, we do mind....and i'm pretty sure those of you who don't understand why, would understand if you were in our positions. It's like doing your best job only to have your boss come and tell you that so-and-so slept in so they are going to postpone things till they can get it...imagine that happening without even so much as a "but hey, i do understand you were here on time, nice job, way to go"... ok..perhaps that's a bad analogy.... back to my point. keith asked last week for ideas on how to get the subeta economy better....THIS would be one of my suggestions....stop doing this like this. Now that everyone has extended time to get all their books...everyone will get the same prize, and what are they going to be worth? certainly not the millions we have all spent.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You guys are so freakin' selfish. It absolutely amazes me. People who needed/wanted extra time now have it? But -I- was done? Why should they get an extension?

Seriously, listen to yourselves. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Finally managed to get back on the site yesterday, so really happy with this news, have never been a part of a reading contest, so must go figure out what's involved. Thanks Keith!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If I had know, I wouldn't have spend about 1 mil on books yesterday. xD I'll try to grab some more during the extending time

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What a bunch of whiners. It's all about 'you', 'you' were so perfect, well suck it up - there's an extension - use the time to good use and get some more books so you get an even better/higher prize. Quit complaining like spoilt brats. Buck up and Carry on - get more books - I despise whiners

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It doesn't matter to me whether there's an extension or not. I'll probably forget about the book drive until the last day like I did yesterday, and then donate another 150 books at the last second again.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

maybe by Aug 15 i can get to my goal of 100 books.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Why are the dates always extended? Not that I am complaining either way, but the dates are always moved around. I am glad that we could not see the results on who was in the lead and etc. But I believe that when a date is set it should be kept. And as I said it's not a complaint. I guess it would just be easier to understand better if there were reasons. Even if the staff is behind and etc, the contest could still end and we could just wait the prizes out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

People are not whining for the sake of whining, they are angry that they worked hard and bought lots of books and now the slackers who didn't bother to watch the deadline can catch up and further devalue the prizes. It sucks that now it doesn't even matter if some of us followed the rules and got things done in time. Gee, thanks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

the Archan!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well that was anti-climax.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you very much for extending it. The downtime and lagging has given me little time to buy and RS books.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

what!i wanted to get the prizes tomorrow. well i might as well get more books

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Holy crap... I would have never thought people would complain about an EXTENSION! -.- More opportunity to buy books that we lost due to the down times. I see no disadvantage to this other than a little extra wait, which is nothing. I wouldn't spend that much sP on books anyway, that's INSANE! If that's another thing you're irritated about, you really have no one to blame but yourself. O_o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

well, i got close to 150, so i'll try for more! i was gonna stop at 100, but for some reason kept going! now i have more time..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh well... just 4 more books and I'll have 500. Though, as I stated, I hate the extension, I guess I could spend EVEN MORE at the cash shop to get good stuff to sell in order to get those last few books. grumble, grumble... I'm an idiot but it is fun being one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

and of course if i kissed butt too that could help A LOT... i don't think we are WHINING about this...just posting our opinion that we think it is unfair, as you are posting your opinion... it's ok sweetie...everyone has a right to their opinion

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i have a paper due next thursday ... too bad keith isn't my professor....i'd be good to go

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh my god. WHINGE WHINE, PEOPLE. WHINGE WHINE.

-____- I'm happy about the extension. It gives everyone more of a chance to save up for better prizes. Thank you staff.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ooh. I'm loving the intellectual Archan, here. <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Of course it will be good news for those that had other reasons to not start participating when it started. But for those of us that started the day it started and have spent countless Millions...and kept track of what we bought, then threw away lists...it is just a total lack of fairness, something that I appreciated Subeta for being, Fair. shakes head May as well just give everyone the books to catch up with everyone who started and worked diligently to get the job done by the deadline. Total crap!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wel, for me this is good news. I'm working on month end at work right now, and pretty busy at home too, so now I can prolong the decision whether or not to donate my entire collection or just leave it at the 305 that I had duplicates of.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

le sigh Oh well I am sure there is a reason for it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Is there an actual reason why is was extended? I have to say I'm not very pleased with this. I had intended to buy seven more books today just to make it to 300, and looked forwards to seeing prizes tomorrow/in the next couple days. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

crap crap crap! I worked hard saving and buying. Now... two more weeks for everybody to catch up to me. Not fair. I want my mommy. lol... seriously, it is a bit unfair for those of us who really did take it seriously and spend untold MILLIONS on books.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

-mutters- I've been buying books since the drive started, I thought it might be extended for two or three days, but two weeks?!

Ah well. I guess it'll give me time to find a few more books, I guess.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm really angry peeved annoyed at the etension. It really is unfair. I spent hours yesterday getting the last books. Wiping out my list I had written of ones I had and didnt have. No longer have that list. Will take me hours to figure out which ones I do and dont have especially since its just pictures of the books. Im SO ANNOYED. It really is UNFAIR and 2 whole weeks. People knew the deadline. The site hasn't been down for that long. Would have been nice to been told earlier.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have to agree with those people NOT happy about the extension. Seems a lil unfair to those that actually put some effort into the Book Drive and now to give even more time to those waited. It was very clear when the game started and was to end, and the few days the site was down, doesnt add up to 2 weeks. disappointed I am also one to not complain about things, or voice my opinion as that is what it is, MY OPINION, I usually just go with the flow, but thought I'd voice it this time.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks Keith! Even though I gave in a lot of books already this extended deadline can help me reach at least 350 books...well i hope ;_;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yea, i think this decision is not fair. i can understand if the site has been down A LOT...but it's been better than it normally has been...and for those of us who didn't sit around and twiddle our thumbs...well, now this just means we get to wait for everyone else to catch up to us. I'm so glad the rules of life can't be changed so easily to accommodate those who don't meet deadlines.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks Keith! only have 19, now maybe i can have 20 something

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Holy crud, that Archan is so pretty D8 hugs it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Whew, thanks heavens for the heads up.. I hadn't read any for the contest (didn't even realize there was a contest since I only joined up a week and a half ago) but I made it pretty easily to 90 after I saw this notice. I'm sure I can get 100 but my price limit is 10k or under and I'm starting to run out of cheapies lol

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome! I don't have to run around buying them up later today! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

More time for reading! Or rather donating books! Huzzah!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I've read a little over 200. I think I have a few in storage I could use but I'd rather keep them and I'm not spending more than 10 -15 k on a book just to donate it. that's just me.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I didn't even know this was going on, so having a notification in the news helps a lot. just donated a few books Hopefully there will be some lower end prizes for people like me who can only donate a few things!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't complain about alot on this sight but all i'm going to say is "Shakes head in disbelief"

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And I still have only 5 books donated I'm going to holiday in 2 days anyway. GL everyone.
