Wasn't just one bad outcome. Numerous times nice lots were put up, claimed and replaced with crap.
Well, if thats your stance, it seems like the original intent of this thread was lost.

The original intent was paying it forward, not backward. When a Soler Refractor auto is claimed, but never shipped, that's not paying it forward. When HOF gu is claimed, and replaced with low end refractor/McD's coupons, there's nothing forward. My viewpoint isn't skewed, and was well within the original intent. I'm pretty sure the majority here, agree with me.
So then adjust...
Dont let a really good thing get lost due to those issues. Dont mail until the person claiming indicates what he's sending. I haven participated but have watched and its been much more good that bad.

I understand why you are saying this, but trying to simplify the situation with this logic is no good here. People can only get punched so many times before they fall and can't get back up. Those of us that participated in this thread and had a bad experience are jaded and aren't likely to try yet again. Pay It Forward, to me, means I had something nice done for me and, because of my gratitude for that, I give back to someone else. This thread had members who followed that logic. But others who participated saw it as a chance to get something nice and NOT pay it forward - instead, they reduced the thread to nothing more than common cards, for the most part, after taking very nice ones. It was greed, not pay it forward at work here. I surely hope you can see why people would not want to continue to contribute and support such a situation.
The original intent of this thread, by definition, couldn't survive with people taking nice stuff and replacing it with crap. I'm pretty certain what I am saying here is exactly what is going through the minds of all of those that wanted this to work. And you can bet there are 10x's as many FCB users who are sad this thread died because they can no longer get something nice for themselves, as opposed to giving something nice to someone else.
Edit: I see there was more dialogue while I was writing this. To that extent, I'd like to add that we did adjust. If you haven't found that thread yet, then you aren't looking hard enough.
I need to apologize since i didnt really think out what i was typing originally. I hope that you all can come to some type of way of making sure its closer to fairs since its such a fun thing to watch.
If you need the help of someone to make sure that happen, let me know...
If you need his address or delivery info, let me know.

think the Upper Echelon Free to good home thread is doing well and taking the place of this thread.
Some people on here paid it forward big time without even claiming cards and it was basically spit on by several uncaring selfish members who only saw an easy way to obtain a nice card. while replacing it with a card they couldn't sell for months and somehow thought somebody would like it for their PC
TTM is no longer a FCB member. [MENTION=4248]rum151man[/MENTION] I am going to try and get something together to make things right by you.
I'm not worried about it I put those cards up to try and get it started and at least they went to a good home just sucks we couldnt get it rolling again

Yes, I finally received cards. It took me calling/texting and threatening. If you want his cell number, shoot me a PM.
