Ok who is the guy that comes up with the recent email campaign for top 500 users???
it's a freaking ad that gives you:
$5.00 for orders $25 or more.
$10.00 for orders $40 or more.
discount at a store that not many of us uses, if it was newegg then i would at least say oh it's a tech site and us-centric, but noooo it's some random vanity shop to t-shirts......
and it says I'm getting this because i'm among the top 500 people active on the site????
wtf is this, this is advertisement, not a reward for being on here, period.
if you want to have rewards, give us free t-shirts off that site, or give us good discounts off the egg or something as that is at least wholly tech related and not useless junk that we can't use to get more performance.
if this was a targeted advertising campaign, then it has missed it's marks by a mile and if it was meant as a reward for being in the top 500 active posters in THG forums, then wtf, can I opt out of these things until they get their acts together and offer real benefits (how about a ad free site of toms and the forums? with NO full site advertisements that adblockers have issues with?)
who comes up with this? while I do think that there is some sort of genuine thought behind it because of the fact that it comes from a editor and a well known one at that, but I question the motive of such an act.
I don't know anyone whom would want to spend money to save money on useless things that is completely unrelated to the area where they would purchase from.
