No, it's been stopped for a while now.
The admins decided that it caused too much spamming, and they needed more money for their new servers or something.

In my opinion the 50 post thing should have only been used as a promotion. Sites have to have some income. Anyways, i have not donated... im too tight! lol

As soon as we get more news posters we will be able to have the 50 post promo again.

Wouldn't it be better to impiment it at say "53 Posts" not annouce the actual number or the fact that it's running and then when people realise change the number?
If it dosen't make sense read it slow...it was confusing typing it

Dont really know why you never wrote in sentences? Anyway, your theory is pretty too much hassle. It may only take a few seconds to change the number of posts... but think about it it might consume time seeing if people have found out. In my opinion- once new mods have been 'recruited' run it as an offer, clearly state the number of posts but make sure that any slammers are banned- even if they have a high post count.

It had been a loooong day. The only reason why i wasn't sleeping was because i thought i was going to mod my psp

.
Yeah thinking about it, it is a hassle. What about bumping up the number? 100 posts maybe?

Encorages spam. I think.... they should not run this offer. Make money and just leave things how they are. The user contributed section is good enough to satisfy anyone's needs.

I think people are imagining that the VIP section is full of goodness that they can't get to, so they'll spam, they need to just realize the users section is great on its own
