well i think it may be beacuse of all the noobs that sign up and post their referral link, they dont read the rules and dont abide by them, also when you see someone else get their ipod and you have either been on hold or havent finished i dont think they really appericate it, i admit it even though i made that type of topic today wink

I think it's because a lot of people here have been waiting for a gift for some time and they didn't receive it yet. That makes them a bit edgy.

Then there's also a phenomenon I've observed since about a week or two people who are new to this whole free deal business are more impatient than anyone else. More and more often you see things like "I didn't receive credit and it's been 2 whole hours already! wtf???", "they don't have any non cc offers! wtf!" or "my account was approved last week, wtf is my iPod?!?" or "why did they ship with DHL, I hate this company because I never heard their name before" (and please note shipping is free...)

It's like a lot of newcomers now believe that an iPod is basically free and that free deals websites are like a public service that is due to them.

Any other older member here noticed that strange phenomenon?

Yeah 10th i know what you are talking about people are constantly complaining and for no good reason. I am in the hold loop but i am working it out with gratis. These people need to get some patience and quit complaining about it because its starting to get really annoying.

i hate jeolous people, theyre just complaining cuz theyre too lazy to get 5 people

yeah i agree... the freeipodsguide forums are not to friendly... and do not tolerate any mistakes..

I'm used to it though... welcome to our dysfunctional forums

I have definitely noticed this. Although, the only reason I still hang around here (got my ipod in Oct) is because I love reading the flame wars. Oh, that and helping out here and there. D

i'd have to agree with loth on this one.

I haven't seen any hostility, just joined up yesterday. I suppose I'm not an egregious n00b, though.
