In the email you say only 1 entry per person, we check IP's.

What of those who have more then one in the household who use the same router?

(I just joined the list, is KatVixen able to join the list as well?)

No worries if not, completely understand, just don't want to get blacklisted when she tries to join the list.

Go ahead Torn...
When a winner is chosen, we will look at the signup before we send out the email. As long as we don't see anything bad, the email will go out.

I signed up about 30 minutes ago but haven't recieved the confirmation email. Does it take longer than that?

Jim
2004-03-29, 12:29 PM
Confirmation email should be instantaneous. Have you gotten previous newsletters?

SlickRick
2004-03-29, 12:31 PM
I signed up also

Like spacemanspiff, I have not gotten the email that the page says to comfirm. I emailed you as the page says.

Greenguy

If you're not getting the confirmation link emailed to you, odds are there's a filter on your system or on your mail server that's blocking it.

SlickRick
2004-03-29, 12:54 PM
I don't have any filters set through my ISP. Only thing I got is blocked emails... ?

Ok, GG & Jim. You can close the SU form now. I already signed so this activation form is unnecessary anymore |jester|

I have a suggestion - once someone wins it (I mean when I win it) can you post the names of the guys that were sent winning mails during these weeks leading to this hmmm sort of jackpot?

Yeah. I even clicked on the link on the email to go to the new signup form. If it's coming from the same email addy, then my spam filter shouldn't be catching it. I checked the spam folder just in case and it's not there either.

All I can say is try it again. We have never had a problem with the mailer. So, I don't think it is on our end.

SlickRick

I got registered, never mind. had to use my ISP email


SHOW ME THE MONEY GG & Jim
I have medical bills I gotta pay

spacemanspiff
2004-03-29, 01:33 PM
OK, I figured it out. I used my ISP address to register again, got the subject line of the conf email, searched my email folders for the original and found where my spam filter was putting it. I confirmed the original, and I'll not confirm the second signup.

Damn spam.

Very nice contest guys.

All signed up now and praying!

Jim
2004-03-29, 02:42 PM
Yep, once I was finally able to install the email software, we have never had anything that resembles a problem. As long as I don't attempt to send any type of code :)

So, once again, if you have any problems...it's not on our end. First look to any filter you might have and then check with your email isp. If you don't get the confirmation email, you won't get any mail. Don't use hotmail or Yahoo (I think)

And remember, we will be deleting this list once we have a winner. You will never get any mail you don't want.

Oh yeah, I have been approving all spam arrests and other spam programs. So, don't worry about that if you use anything to prevent spam.

Alphawolf

Yep- great idea. You filter out the non readers and give us active readers a better shot. |shake|

As soon as I got the newsletter I subscribed to the new newsletter and got the confirmation e-mail right away.

Yah, I really need to get a second IP for my wife. It's hard for us both to do free sites or galleries without being accused of breaking the one per day submit rules.

OK. Found my confirmation in my spam filter.

Hey, if I go thru the filter and find a previous GG&J newsletter with me as the winner, can I claim the prize?

You only have 24 hours to claim any email giveaway. Thinking about it, there has got to be a few people that find the winning email too late. They must be too embarrassed to say anything :)

Jim -
What day to you send the emails out normally?
(just don't want to miss the 24 hour window - but we go to the cabin every weekend)

Greenguy
2004-03-31, 01:15 AM
From http://www.greenguysboard.com/email.html
On Monday April 5th we will email everyone on the list, but only one of those emails will have the special code to post on the board to claim the $2500 - and you must do this within 24 hours of us sending out the mail.

:D

If I win I am going to buy an old dial-a-ride bus some people have for sale down the road. I am thinking I could set up some kind of trips to the boat casino an hour plus from here. |jester|

Driving is one of the only things I like as much as sitting in front of a computer. :)

You mean there was only a small window to register for the new newsletter and it will be forever closed off. Cool.

How many people total did subscribe to the new newsletter compared to how many are subdcribed on the old newsletter.

I guess the new registration is just for the prize newsletter, but everyone will still get the GG&J newsletter, right?

Greenguy
2004-04-04, 12:24 PM
Jim will have the totals as far as how many signed up for this one time mailing.

Everyone will get the standard newsletter tomorrow (using the regular list) and then those that opt'd into the new list will get a 2nd special email - and one of those emails will be REALLY special :D
