          A pretty good argument could be made for the bigger contests that your post count must be at least a few hundred or so..

            this is completely inaccurate , have you reviewed the rules, you do need to be active to win

              bigger contests? not exactly sure where the money would come for this...

              you guys seem to forget that these giveaways are completely funded by a small company, that then returns that back to the community via giveaways.

              there is no exclusive contests for senior members, all members have an equal opportunity.

                There would be hundreds of useless posts then as people would just say anything to get their post count higher. I do not post a lot as a lot of what I would say has already been said by some one else or I do not know enough about the topic to add to it in any meaningful way but I am on here about three to four times a week and add my 2 cents on certain things.

                  I thought this was a place to learn and gain knowledge of what one needs to know about this hobby, should I ask the same questions and not look and see if they were asked before easy way to get a post count up. If I wanted idle no brainer chat I would go to Facebook.

                    I've entered each one, never really expecting to win.

                    I always though it was the point of entering that anyone could win, not just an elite group.

                        I tend to be a reader and not a writer. Does this make me any less active just because I'm new to the sport and don't have a lot of knowledge to share? I take Polls and sign petitions, my post count is minimal, heck pretty sure this is my second post on this site. But I've spent a few years on this site reading everything I can. Posting doesn't make me any less active my friend.

                          No inactive accounts can win the contest, and we do have record of time spent logged into the site. That said, post count has nothing to do with activity levels. Not everyone can have a big mouth. Some read more than they talk, which is fine. Without their numbers the site wouldn't have as many sponsors, and we'd be giving away a new pair of boot laces instead of a 1911. And for that, they can enter too.....unless you'd really like a pair of new laces....

                              Would you consider selling that G1 Doug. I am also in Nova Scotia and am looking for my first handgun but am a little nervous to purchase online.
