Unoffcial NextGenUpdate Giveaway Tool
I will be constantly updating this thread up until release so check back every now and then to see if the tool has been released yet.
Introduction
I am making this tool as a way to help the members of NGU host and participate in giveaways.
It's currently a work in progress, so I don't have a release date but I thought I'd give you a sneak peak as to what it's going to look like.
Note: I am also going to be making a giveaway Moderation tool that Staff or trusted users can use where they will have to approve a giveaway before it is posted in the program
(it will be open source so you know it's not malicous)
Completed Forms
Forms in Progress
Pink- Started, Red - Not Started
Ideas that I might add in the future
Blue- Confirmed, Red - Unconfirmed
If you have any ideas that you would like me to add post it below and I'll add them.

The tool they use won't require a login m8 i'll give give them the source so they can see it's not malicious
Plus I'll be doing it as well.
It's more just to make sure people don't abuse it and create a bunch of random shit.

Okay, fair enough. I still don't see why this needs a stand alone application. It feels like it's just making the whole giveaway process more complicated than it already is.

It's certainly a cool idea but it's taking a simple thing and making it more complicated / time-consuming. I just don't get it.

It's just something that I thought I'd make it's up to the person if they want to use it. either way it's something to challenge myself
The way it works makes picking a winner easier, they can use a voting system or just randomly choose a user.
BTW it uses IE cookies so if u don't want to use my login u can just login from IE.

Maybe if you built it around the current giveaway forum, that might be a bit more useful. For example, it grabs the giveaways from the section, allows you to enter (by posting for you) and all that kind of thing.
That seems better, rather than having 2 separate systems in place for the same thing. That way people aren't forced into the application if someone decides to have a giveaway on it or vice versa.
