... AND you have a decent comment ratio
Can you elaborate and/or add what this ratio might be in the FAQ?
This isn't an application post, just a question

If I were managing things I'd actually let a bot sophisticated enough to have a phone and pass for a human applying for something like this join for my amusement if nothing else :)

I have seen many users with just as many comments as entries because they use a script to enter & comment (like when I get 5 of the same message at the same second across 5 different GAs), so I'm not sure this is a good indicator

One of the more annoying things I've encountered on this site. I usually don't let things bother me too much but using a bot/script to enter and leave pointless comments because some people want's a personal interaction rubs me the wrong way.

Sounds like a good idea but I'd have think about this a bit more. My laziness usually makes me skip anything requiring some amount of effort be it mental or physical :P

haha, I think I am going to save this quote and use it ... do you require attribution?

lol nah, let's consider it public domain, too much hassle with anything else :P

Well that's obvious and probably the reason you're in my whitelist, or something :P

Nice idea, but I'm already spending all my "real world gifts" on annual imgur secret santa and candy exchanges so I'm gonna wish you luck and stay out...

And this right here is how we improve our "comment ratio" :D

If I had a steady source of income, I'd give it a try, but I need to keep buying food and stuff.

15 euros for present and then 50 for shipping. Nah.
Comment has been collapsed.
shipping is the biggest problem here. if you "randomly" match people at least from same continent, that would at least be a bit better but a lot of countries have really big shipping costs, especially if sent from US, for example. i've given up on a lot of things i would gladly buy for myself just because shipping is high and sometimes (read: most of the time) even excedes price of shipped item

I'd be interested, but on the condition that my gifter properly fills out the customs form (I'm not going to the customs office to pick it up, takes 2 hours to get there + forever to wait + 2 hours back). Also, are leftovers from lootcrate etc. okay as well? I have tons of cool stuff from franchises I have no interest in (of course only if the person I'm gifting to appears to be a fan of one or more of those franchises). I'd make sure to get something special as well, not just leftovers ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, "leftovers" may not be the right word - I just sometimes got whole crates with almost nothing I was interested in, so except for putting it in other boxes, the stuff's never been touched (it's older stuff though, after several crates with nothing for me I unsubscribed, over a year ago)

ImgurSanta has an option of international or national - inside the country. Both have positive and negative sides. Everyone choses one when applying. Maybe you should have something like that too.

Have a bump :D
Nice way of spreading zombie-virus around the world!

You can infect me with zombie virus all you want if you're gonna feed me with cheesy pizza firstly. I won't mind it in that situation.

I was thinking of making an exact thread like this, but with digital games not real ones.
I love events like this but I think its much to costly to ship (since most people don't live in the same country). Also what if only one side follows through and people are left giftless?
I'm trying to ship a game to a friend of mine in the UK and I'm already looking at 80 dollar shipping.
Comment has been collapsed.
liked idea at first but then researched posting costs for my country and cheapest posting to even european country would be 15-20EUR alone -.- and if it was something heavier than T-shirt / plushie, so idk, album, figurine etc shipping suddenly jumps to 30-60EUR, not to mention crazy shipping costs to US or other continents, so I guess I'm gonna skip ;p
(and sadly amazon is not a solution, as they don't accept PayPal and I don't have CC ;p)
Comment has been collapsed.
you can confirm PP in two ways, either using CC or doing a bank transfer - you send 2 separate bank transfers worth like 1 cent from bank account with the same name as PP account. I have a bank account ;p I just don't have actual CC (credit card, not to misjudge with bank card), actually in Poland it's not so easy to get CC, banks refuse a lot, because you earn to little, or have bad kind of employment (as you are contractor not employee), or are not married etc).

This, doing such is awesome. I stopped doing many such gifts before finding this site though, postage is expensive. :P
But hey, a friend liked the Walter White figure I sent him. And I sent out many console games over the years. :D

I'd love to, but I can't let someone go bankrupt trying to send a gift to South America. T_T
I can give you a bump, though.

If you use ThinkGeek, don't use UPS - I ordered from there once when that was the only option, and ended up paying about as much in extra fees (customs + UPS "handling customs for me (without asking)") as I had already paid for the items + postage (although this might be true for all of those sites - don't use UPS if you can avoid it)

So now you want to send printed Steam keys by post mail ?
Comment has been collapsed.
This is a great idea and I love that you guys are setting it up, but it is a major pain for me to participate in so many ways. Good luck though!
Comment has been collapsed.
What a lovely idea. I'm totally in. ;j
Hope I can do a proper gift, with a faint tinge of the place it comes from, and a quaint handwritten note inside to give it all a proper meaning for a few seconds... but on the off chance I can't, would it be a bit of an overkill to use one of those online thingies for the gift itself, and then also send a card or something via snail mail separately?
