First and foremost, the posts you made were hours before I announced the contest making them ineligible.Some of the posts you made were linked to companies that were no longer in business.
Since both the offer and my submitted threads are gone it is a matter of "he said, he said".
Most of the posts were national resources which would have been more appropriately posted in the Multi-State Storage Auction Resources category. Multi-state storage auction resources were excluded from the contest.
Understandable the out of business thread could be deleted. Others (IMO) should have been moved to the national resources area.
If I recall correctly, you were opposed to me disclosing storage auction resources to the public in the first place. Once I did, you tried to make a point by adding several posts in the Texas section. Whether you admit that you did this to spite me, is irrelevant. Had you of made relevant posts in the California resources section, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.
I was opposed to you posting resources to storage auctions when (as a member, not an owner) you were pushing your Texas business in a wide variety of threads on the forum. Once DREW made a special section for PLUGS, it became a different matter. It is one thing to put such "pushes" in a signature line and another to put them as links in irrelevant thread areas to solicit Texas business.
There was no point in my posting sources to California auction sources as you had already done so at the time I posted the Texas sources. The essential difference is IMO that you could delete what I had contributed but I could not delete what you had contributed.
You know that I appreciate you, just like I appreciate every other member that contributes to this forum. I would like to continue incentives like cash and gift cards to make the forum a little more exciting and to continue it's growth. Hopefully, we'll see a better response this go around. If the incentives don't help, they'll go away. If they do work, they'll get bigger and better.
It will be interesting to see who and how many contribute to the Treasure Chest area.
In the section just above this sentence the RED text are Travis' original statements and the BLUE text represents my response to those points.
