Fd's Fishmas Exchange - Final List

[FD.]

For the last several years I have organized the Xmas exchange and it's that time of year again. We are going to start earlier this year to allow more people to see it and and extra week to ship your gifts.

Here is how it works. There are some new rules this year because of previous problems. If you don't like the rules, tough. I do the work = my rules, period.

You MUST be over 18 to play.

You MUST have over 200 meaningful posts and be reasonably active on the forum. (I decide what is meaningful and reasonable)

You MUST proclaim your intent to participate in this thread prior to Thanksgiving Day.

You MUST send me a PM with your Name and Address prior to Thanksgiving Day.

Minimum gift amount is $25. Maximum is up to you but don't expect to get more than $25.

You may or may not get the name of the person sending your gift.

You will get a return PM from me before Dec 1 with the name and address of the person you are buying for.

You MUST send the gift prior to Dec 10.

You may open the package when you get it or wait to Xmas.

I will periodically post a list of official participants on this thread. It is up to you to check back after you send your PM to make sure you are on the list.

A separate thread will be started to post pictures of the loot you received.

Let the fun begin.

[Bassn Blvd]

I'm in, again.

PS. I need a new Loomis flippin' stick and another Premier.

[slonezp]

That "200 meaningful" posts requirement is a stickler for me.

This is different than the lure exchange correct? That was a bit of a disappointment.

[FD.]

I have run this for the past few years and we have had a few dead beats join the game but 99.9% of this has gone perfect. Other members made up for the losers and sent out additional gifts. The problems came from members under 18 and/or and less than 200 meaningful post.

I think everyone that has participated in this would say it was fun. At least I have not heard any complaints that we not immediately corrected.

I have done it the last two years and it's been well executed and fun.
