    SBR: You dropped the ball on bash registration
    I am extremely disappointed. To get free airfair, the requirments are register before jan1 09 and have 250 posts or higher!?? The old rules were 4k posts. Isnt this to bash to reward your LOYAL posters? Basically, you screwed any loyal posters who couldnt be on the forum today...and now they got left in the dark. You should of had a 4k+ post requirement to reward your LOYAL posters. Lets review some of the "loyal posters" who got free airfare

    Jiggy Fly...451 posts
    RiverRaid 557 posts
    FloridaGolfer 546 posts
    d2bets 330 posts
    RonPaul 2008 346 posts
    Ronald 274 posts
    Baus 889 posts
    Rio DiNero 890 posts
    BobbyBaseballs 275 posts
    harsh506 487 posts
    Skidcom 554 posts
    TheGambler 535 posts
    philswin 290 posts
    jlgarciaiii22 671 posts
    exstatman 625 posts
    INVEGA MAN 897 posts

    These are just the guys under 1,000 posts. Who has heard of 95% of these guys? Instead guys like BobbyFK and TheLock get screwed (whom both have more posts then this whole list combined!!!!!)

    Kinda let down SBR....I want to party with regulars...not guys Ive never seen/heard of in my life and will probably just take a free vegas trip and skip the activities or just not even show up.

      It does seem like it doesn't benefit the posters who actually contribute the most.........

        Just from first/quick glance. It does seem like a crapshoot, depending if you were online at the right time. Good post iwym.

                          Hey buddy, just talk to the the powers to be. I am sure they are willing to work with you. This is the wrong way to go about it Jeff.

                          Hope to see you there for the 3rd year in a row.

                                    Well, I was 3 day's too late with the registration requirements... and I agree that this benefited the people who were online today. I was at the hospital most of the day with a sick family member.

                                    You would think someone would have to have at least 1,000 post in the last 2 years??? Or at least 1 post a day?

                                      TheGambler was there last year....if you went to the Bash last year (Pinnacle of Loyalty), you should get the airfare this year.

                                        I might go to the Bash with 5 friends to collect debts from 90% of the posters going.

                                            Bring that Asian escort from that one thread, and I will drive down and met you at the Golden Nugget.

                                              I agree IWIN. I couldn't get on for much of the day, too busy. This will be the first year that I'll be able to go but I don't think I will now. Guys that contribute to the forum most should have got paid travel. I would have liked to meet some of the guys I see on here everyday.

                                                      5k-10k tomorrow
                                                      then wide open after
                                                      i like that idea, but i will not complain

                                                      because in the end, sbr does not owe us anything, this is all free

                                                        I know it's free, I'm just disappointed the most loyal posters were left in the dark if they couldn't login today or joined right after the beginning of 09

                                                          Yeah, I agree, this wasn't the best of all possible ways to do it... I've been waiting for a while for the bash info to come out, but yesterday and today I was really busy -- so all of a sudden I just saw the info now!

                                                          ...So I was all excited, until I realized Wait, I'm not gonna be in time for the free travel. Well, we're still inside the timeframe for free room at least, right?
