I've been coming to this site for years. I've watched a lot of media. I've posted a bunch. I followed the rules, and it wasn't worth it. I'm still waiting on the prize I claimed. Six to eight weeks for delivery. Christmas 2008 was nine weeks. It's now February. I'm on week 15, and still no prize. I only care enough to talk about it here. I'm not gonna call and complain, or write a blog about it, or go in the forums and throw a tantrum. I always wondered if the erep prizes were real. Now I know.
Update: It's now been one year since I claimed an erep prize. Nine months or so from when the new management of the site announced that they were going to honor the erep prize system. They just needed a little time to sort out the records.
