Not to sound bitter, but I think next year for a prize as grand as this, the entering should be more strict as to only allow active members who make the temp what it is able to have a real shot of winning, rather than be flooded out by an avalanche of 50- postcount people who tend to only pop up at tempmas season. Especially for a contest that merely requires attendance. Makes more sense if some effort has to go into things, then they can sign up a day before and that be their only post and i'd say they certainly deserve to win.

My congratulations to Category for winning that GW3DS though.

Although I've lurked on gbatemp for years and years, I do believe my first post was on tempmas last year. However, I do not post much, but still check daily, I just don't have much to say. Would you say I'm not an active member?

1 post on average every 23 days... actively viewing , not actively posting .. but if you got nothing to say then , i guess your active .

I guess then the solution is have a forum accessible to users with over 100 posts , similar to the trading forum. Then these fly by nights dont even know its happening .


I feel like this would only help in having more users flood the forums with spam to raise their post counts.

then how about accounts that are only 6 months old or something, or 6 months old and 50 posts.
but then, people might start making fake accounts now, and post using them, in order to get ready for next chiristmas haha... but that is a bit far, you can't protect against everything!
but i think the 6 month thing would be good.

You people aren't serious are you? The gba temp mods and staff are the ones that made all of this happen. They decided to give out, being thoughtful of everyone else. They put a smile on the winner's faces. The losers didn't lose anything, but you're acting like you did. You people need to grow up, really. I wouldn't be surprised if gbatemp stops hosting these tempmas events because of people calling each others names over material. Well you know what? If you want a ps4 so badly, then go out and buy one.
Congratulations to all winners, enjoy your prizes everyone, be safe and happy!

No worries, it happens every year. Tempmas will go on :)
I understand the disappointment. Just keep trying and you'll eventually win something!
