    I think I might be guilty of snoozing and losing on L4D2. I had a logistical issue and basically ended up not needing it, and didn't know what to do.

    Giving it away again on NBR has my blessing.

    You're a good man HTWingNut. Unfortunately my internet/steam is really buggy right now, and not sure if I'd be able to activate. So GL to everyone else.

    If you have issues, that's fine. I'll be glad to hold on to it if you'd like to enter. Just don't want them sitting around for a year is all. I'd even be glad to put it on DVD and mail it to you as long as you can get on the internet long enough to activate and get it going.

    I think it might be. Will check, but in any case, thanks masterchef. If it's yours, its yours to claim, feel free, it was a giveaway to begin with. I was just looking at all these unsent and unclaimed games and thought others could get some good use out of it.

    I so want to see the Lions pull it off this season. My best friend's from Detroit and it's fun to make fun of him saying "this is the year" every year, but I'm hoping that he actually gets to gloat one of these days.

    Lions are known to self destruct in the past but the last two weeks were either a tell-tale sign of a new generation of Lions or complete flukes.

    alright im extremely late to the discussion but regarding the steamgifts.com I can provide you with an invite since i always seem to have more points then i can use at all times (costs you points to enter giveaways and to send invites. Dont worry i have plenty of points)

    Alright as for random people entering (hope this hasnt already been said) i have thought about this before and i came up with this solution. On steamgifts you can hold give aways not only public and private giveaways but also private for only a specific steam group. in order to allow only nbr members to enter you could create a steam group that can only be joined by invite thus eliminating randoms joining it. So on steam gifts hold the give away for only your specific steam group. Using this way you could even post the link to the giveaway publicly here with out having to worry about random people joining it since even if you are a steamgifts member if your not a member of the specific steam group it wont display the giveaway even if you used the link anyway.

    oh also On steam gifts you sign in using steam (which of course you need to have a user name and password for) I think this would be a good way for give aways that would make it a little easier on you :D

    Ok, ViciousXUSMC already started an NBR group and it's quite large. Having to offer an invite is just another step in the process, when I can just look at their join date real quick and tell them to scram.

    Although I like doing it this way on the forums, as I've done it many times before. I can make it fun and interesting and don't have to involve another website.

    I can't believe I missed this. :p But just a question regarding steamgifts.com never knew about the site but how does it work? You still have to buy the game from steam store to give it away right or can you give away something that you own xD

    FAQ and Guidelines

    Other stuff not specifically mentioned:
    It should be a steam game you can gift, but others have given Steam codes purchased from sites like Gamersgate. Also eventually, the person who runs the giveaway, but doesn't send the gift codes will be blocked from running giveaways.
