I entered this competition yesterday and it only had a couple of hours remaining on it. Suddenly, it's vanished from my list of entries and the link (which I'd bookmarked) is invalid. What happened? Did the gifter just decide at the last minute to cancel it? Because that seems like a bit of a giant dick move.

EDIT: Question resolved.

I applaud you on your ability to not answer questions. rolls eyes I'm aware of the Humble Bundle's existence. I'm also aware that that was not what I asked about.

Although Phantom didn't answer your question as to how you wanted, he hinted that if you didn't know, that Darwinia is taking part in the Introversion Bundle. If you read the FAQ then you'd know the reason why it was removed. I'm not trying to be offensive, just stating a point.

I applaud you on your stupidity and inability to read rules.

I applaud you on your inability to read the rest of the posts on the thread. Simply posting a link is NOT an answer. It's like someone asking a question about how to calculate a maths problem and you just tell them "The answer is 17."

"But I have to show my working."

"The. Answer. Is. 17."

singhhoh above knows how to actually answer a question. Whether or not it should have been deleted, I won't get involved in since I'm new to the site.

There's a sticky saying that Humble Bundles are not supposed to be given away during their sales. So, he just spared his time and showed you there's a new humble bundle with Darwinia in it.

Feel free to call us a terrible, fire-breathing community right about now.

Actually, I don't believe the thread WAS a sticky when I made my post. It didn't appear at the top of the threads when I posted the original question.

It was there, it's just easy to miss because it doesn't really catch one's eye right away

Maybe, but I swear only three sticky threads appeared on my screen. Forum glitched, perhaps, didn't load for me fully? I don't know.

It wouldn't hurt to look thoroughly next time. Such topics don't always need a sticky

Your thread was made way after the sticky thread so I'm pretty sure I'm right by looking at the timestamps >.>

Yeah, I checked the timestamps too, that's why I'm confused about why it didn't show up.

Okay, thank you, that's more of an actual answer. The giveaway seemed to be the Steam copy, however, which seems to be allowed under that post, or am I reading it wrong? "If you create a giveaway for any of these games as a steam gift, be sure to clarify it in the description."

Ah, okay, re-read the main FAQ, which had slightly clearer wording. "Do not publicly submit Humble Bundles or games from them while they are being sold." Okay, thanks. Question resolved.

Just read the FAQ and you will know why it was removed.

Bundles are not allowed to be given away. The gift copies of games owned by a Steam account can be.

Yeah thanks for calling me an idiot. That giveaway was a physical purchased from the steam store tradeable steam gift that was placed as a giveaway prior to the humble bundle even being announced.

Calling him an idiot was not necessary at all. Don't be an ass and chill.

The Mods dont care. It can be created again when the bundle is over.

That's so sad though. :( It's not his fault the bundle started before his thing ended D:

Could have been picked up by the filter no?

If the giveaway was created before the new humble bundle and it was the mods that removed it, then that's pretty shitty of them imo

But if the gift was made before the humble bundle was released, why is it removed?

Thats the question. Shouldn't be that way.

I would think the answer to all the people asking "why was it removed" is that the chances are the system that removes giveaways from the site when a humble bundle is annouced is automatic.

I'd like to think the op thought the gifter is able to delete the giveaway but then again the op never made a giveaway so he wouldn't know about that

I don't really think there's a system specifically for that.

More likely it's just one moderator who spends 5 minutes with the search function and indiscriminately deletes everything.

That's the giveaway created 2 weeks ago? I posted yesterday saying it was a coincidence (or the user has some kind or magic power :O )
