HeHeHe! Yeah, I was only kidding of course, I must have missed your post
Back on Topic, what does everyone think of the PHP script idea for drawing the numbers? At least it solves one problem (to an extent)?

I think the method of drawing is less of an issue than the issue of who gets to do a raffle, how often and the price
price being one of the key considerations

Hi dougproctor!
Ofiaich,
Yes, you agreed for this Iphone but would you want to do it for everyone who wants a raffle?
No, not for everyone, but I think to help out once in awhile is ok...

^^^^ Yes, that's your choice, of course. And once in a while would be probably okay but I think it will become the norm for the reason above i.e. can't sell - not offered enough - let's have a raffle!
Sorry, will but out now - you know my feelings,
Doug

Hi!
yes, as you say, my choice, and yes, sometimes OK for me to do.
But it would not become the norm for me, nor would I buy a ticket for every raffle.
I guess the Mr. Laffen can make an appearance and decide !

But that's just a technicality and so not at all helpful! What we could do with is a little PHP script to tag on to the site that, on the press of a button, draws the winning number(s) and posts them to a locked topic. If you stick the script behind a password, you could even invite guest members to access the page whenever a draw is due and press the button.
All automatic so no cheating
And such a script would not be difficult to make...
to do a raffle, maybe the funds should be transferred to an account created to deal with the transactions, having its own id (which can be attached to the thread), and once enough money is collected... a random person can do the draw and winners name displayed
it is seeming a bit complicated to set up
and wether or not people are going to find ways of abusing it??

getting someone everybody trusts is the best way to do it IMO and the least hassel. the arguments that suggest its unfair that you could enter a raffel 100 times at 5 a go and you might loose, but thats a raffel, the point of gambeling is taking a risk and beinifiting or loosing from that risk, that is the fun of it and if you do not see the point in that then there is no point in entering. If everybody won everytime then there would be no economy would there ? if you always had the best item or decision you would just monopolise the society but life isnt like that. life is about risks and your luck on those risks,
think of it in the bigger picture and try to understand what a raffel is before ludacris arguments are made against a topic you obviously are very uneducated in

Laffen should have a look at this, before we decide whether we want it.
Depending on the country, where Esato is hosted, it might not even be allowed, as it's gambling.
Dunno whether that's the case though, but in my country a license is needed.

F1 - are you some sort of windup merchant? I object, and others will I hope as well, to being called an uneducated person just because I disagree with you trying to get the full price back for a phone you obviously bought in error!
You are a relative newcomer to this site - there are many others who have commented and given their opinion and have been on here a damn site longer than the couple of months like yourself. You have perhaps not been here long enough to find out what this site is all about. The last raffle was a one off, or I thought it was, not a way of opening the flood gates for people to off load the phones they would not be able to sell by some other method!
Please keep your "uneducated" comments to yourself!
Doug

I do not think it is allowed to host/run/organize lotteries here in Norway. The goverment is strict on this. I am not very familiar with the lottey act but casino, football betting sites is not allowed. Sites offering this to norwegians must be located abroad.
Anyone wanting to enlighten me can read the
Lottery act here
