I was wondering what lovely things everyone has spent their GADs on, with someone winning daily there should be a fair amount of things that people have purchased.

I tend to only go with Amazon vouchers as it's easy and quick for ordering and has a huge selection.

Things i have purchased using vouchers to either pay for part of, or all of the item.

PC Hardware:

2 x 512MB PC3200 DDR Ram
Sony 18x DVD Writer

i thought that was used to alert moderators of dodgy or crap topics that need locking. Whether they've escalated into flame wars, trolling or just into plain crap.

But used to report decent posts?

No, the Alert a Staff Moderator at the top of the original post. Not sure if only mods have that though. Anyway, part of the purpose of that button is to alert the staff to possible GAD winners.

And, no, I don't use it on my own posts, I already win enough! :D

But I will remember to keep a look out for anything you write that might be worth alerting from now on...
