New Staff Members needed

Suggestions and criticisms:
  • Limit the number of vpn giveaways. You guys are doing way too many vpn giveaways. Almost all of the users have already won in one or the other vpn giveaways. So they don't have much incentive to join every single vpn giveaways. 
  • Social media shares are absolute joke. Those share should be the source of new members for the forum but right now it's just a shit show. Developer gets nothing out of it nor the forum.
  • Reviews: When you're promoting a product, highlighting only the strong points of that product is a norm. That's fine. But when you're reviewing a product and find absolutely no con in that products, then that's an issue. That doesn't paint a very good image of the forum. Either dont write "cons: none" or just be honest. Developers see you as a community. People come to promo2day for the free licenses. You can't guarantee a future sale because of the giveaway. Devs know that. Give them something in the form of bugs report, suggestions, etc. It's the responsibility of the reviewer. 
  • Giveaways: giveaway suggestions are great threads available on p2d. But giveaway organisers shouldn't go for every single product that the members request. Just because someone wants something doesn't mean everyone wants that as well. If today I go there and request the product xyz and you do manage to get a 10-20 license giveaway, what happens after that? I'll participate and a few more will join in. I'll get what I want but in exchange of what? The reputation of the forum. Few months from now when you'll have the audience for that software and you'll approach the same dev he'll look back at the current failed giveaway and just ignore it. 
  • Rules: sometimes rules are so damn hard. I remember seeing a rule once. 10 posts and 10 threads. That was ludicrous. I think it was for the CyberGhost lifetime license giveaway. I couldn't participate because of the rule and it discouraged me so bad that after that I've never participated in any of the p2d giveaway. You guys had the perfect opportunity to lure so many new users but you blew it away because of the ludicrous rule. I'm sure that many more people were interested but after seeing the rule they just turned their head and move on and never registered. 
  • Winners: this is what someone told me. I'm not sure how much of it is true but I've come to know that multiple people feels this way... The good licenses are always won by very active people or by friends of the staff. The draws aren't fair. Trust me, this is something that's been floating around about this forum. (who are the people that told me about these? That's something I can't disclose for privacy reasons). I'm not sure if anything can be done about this but it is what it is. 
  • Winners announcement and claims: another thing floating around is that the winners are announced whenever the organisers feel like. Many a times they don't follow the set timetable. 
  • Extra licenses: what happens when someone fails to claim a license? I don't see it mentioned anywhere that that the next person in line will receive the license (in except for a few giveaways). In my opinion all the licenses should be given away afterall that's what they're meant for. If it's indeed given to the next person then it's all good. Or else you might want to think about it. 
  • Don't repeat the same giveaway every six months. This takes away the exclusivity of the giveaway. 
  • Try to get a few devs onto the forum. Or else get a few people who can write a few tutorials. Software news or reviews aren't going to attract many people. Prefer people with a strong opinion. 
  • If possible change the forum software. Mybb just isn't good enough. Invest in something better and you'll reap the benefits later. 
**by "you" I'm addressing to all the forum staff. 

I know I might sound a bit rough but I wrote all those for the betterment of the forum. Don't take it personally. And ignore the typos.
