I'm going to wait for people to tell me that they acquired the item they "Purchased" Before i do anything here.

Sounds a little dodgy to me, Some shady characters might dwell within this E-Cave.

Didn't you play with Scannerz in your childhood, or Beybladez?

Oh man, I scanned and scanned and beybladez'd and beybladez'd, it was insane dude, insane.

Because "Lockers" makes people on the internet think about how tough their childhood was every day before gym class.

This American gym class thing sounds shit. We have an equivalent (although it's a lot of fun so if they're really similar then gym probably isn't that bad), but there's no wrestling, which seems to be the focus point of the subject in every movie about teenagers set in 50s ever.

I went to a high school that focused heavily on wrestling. It was never not our most homosexual sport.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, that sounds completely not fun.

I don't think that there is any wrestling in Gym in my high school. I believe the closest we get to a contact sport is either Soccer (for Americans) or Football. (for everyone else!)

I can vouch that, in certain circumstances, people I know have received very small prizes (t-shirts) from Lockerz.

But this is not a profitable business model. Lockerz would be hemorrhaging money like a crashing Ebola victim. Except he would have, like, money for blood. And... his vomit would be made of coins.

Anyway, the point is that with the pyramid-scheme model, they hand out a constant quantity of prizes for exponential growth in ad revenue. Soon they have massive amounts of users watching ads in the hope of getting a prize, because they heard one of their friends got something ages ago.
Plus, the concrete prizes entice users very effectively for very little expense. They hand out a large quantity of mass-produced t-shirts to, say, one in every 20 users. People believe that they could win a very valuable technological prize (game console, iPad, etc.) because of this, even though there are tens of thousands or millions of t-shirts and only ten or so really valuable prizes.

If this works, the Lockerz team are true masters of social engineering. I applaud them, but decry their mission.

No thanks, we already stocked up on Premium Nike Footwear the last time it was offered.

Yea because I am totaly a bot huh?
Lets see, posts, dev work, hrm guess I must be a bot huh? because bots totaly think and can be part of a community just as well as normal beings and function the same way with out anyone noticing.

Why does every site think that a Z on the end of it's name makes it worth visiting?

I mean really, why "Lockerz" of all things.

Stupid in my opinion, which I have decided to share.

Because there's always a chance in hell to get a good prize, and you don't have to watch the videos if you don't want to.
Just get this fire fox addon and be good to go.

You can use that to justify a gambling addiction, too. You could, theoretically, get lucky and win millions on a slot machine. Sure, Lockerz doesn't take your money. But it takes your time. Time that could be used for other things. Time that could be used to, for example, find a job and get the money far faster. Time that could be used to play a game. Time that could be used to make you happy, instead of wasting your life a little bit every day trying to get some little piece of technology that will be obsolete in a year anyway.

Cheddarius.

It will take me only 29 days of logging in, doing the daily stuff, and watching a FEW vids[that being 7-10 which are not very lengthy] whgilst they're muted and I"m in another tab to get enough PTZ to get a PS3.

[x2yzh9]

All I need? 53 PTZ a day. Sorry for the double post.

Well that's pesimistic, really, you can use the firefox addon and just mute and froget for a while and do something elss.
It's called multi-tasking.

[smigenboger]

I didn't say you were a bot, just that this is a post with a pitch. Unless you are the most sophisticated bot in the world, then that's impressive.

[Saint]

Oh, ok my bad.
I just realised I never bothered to get an avatar on here...

[smigenboger]

the stalker stats page says you normally aren't on the lower forums, so many people wouldn't recognize you as a forumite, though it's slightly redeemed by not having the Escaped Lunatic tag : P
