Problems with Web Stream Recorder giveaway are fixed!

Hello everyone,

Today we will rerun Sytexis Web Stream Recorder together with the main giveaway to address the issues with upgraded version which is not working with the Giveaway of the day registration data.

If you have any problems with your previous installation of this software (namely, you downloaded and installed the update and lost the registration), you can download this giveaway and install it to fix the problem.

This newer giveaway version will not automatically check for the update when started.

Regards,
Giveaway of the Day project team

Giveaway presents new Feed Service (GFS)!

Ready for some more good news from GAOTD team? From now on everybody can use our newly made Feed Service (GFS).

Giveaway Feed Service is a service created for websites and webmasters that are interested in ensuring stronger user retention with help of GAOTD. GFS provides you with all the information on the GAOTD software in XML-formatted feed. You can import this information on your website, and feature our giveaways on your website, using GFS.

The main advantage of GFS usage is that from now on you can easily create Giveaway page on your site(not just feature a ticker on your site or blog). So your daily visitors will get all the info they need (even a download link!) about new Giveaway titles right from your Web-page!

One more thing, if you are running a site (or a big portal) and want to put up our GFS, but Giveaway is not yet available in your native language, please don’t get upset! We can team up and make it possible – just leave us a notice via our contact form or in Forum topic.

More info about Giveaway Feed Service can be found here.

More options regarding GOTD ticker

Hello everyone! We’ve got great news!

From now on you can customize our ticker on your web-site or blog! So if you don’t like our all-in-one tickers or they just don’t suit your site, you can easily create one for yourself.

How’s that? Well, it’s really simple.

Just choose ticker elements you like (information about current Giveaway or a small screenshot and brief information about the program), copy the appropriate codes (combine them, if needed) and put on your web page!

PS: If you know how to make our ticker even better (for ex.: make some additional elements etc.) just leave a comment below. We’ll consider every possible option!

GGAOTD going offline for vacations season

Hello everyone!

Our team has made it into vacations season and we will be short on people for a few weeks. Actually, I’m writing that right from the beach:)

To compensate for temporary stuff shortage, we decided to switch to single site mode for those few weeks, that means that Game site will be offline and we will post games on our main site on weekends and software during business days. Once vacation season is over, the Game site will be back.

And that’s not all – we will be launching a new feature, Free Games Library, very soon!
We hope that improved Game site will be even more interesting for our visitors.

Happy vacation to everyone!
Slava and GAOTD team

Important notice on the regkeys-related policy in our comments and forums

Hello everyone,
I`d like to raise an important question regarding the situation with some of our users attempting to post registration keys in our forums and comments sections.

A week ago we`ve ran into the problem with the giveaway registration key being posted in our comments and forums to help some of the users with their activation problems. That key probably helped them to solve the problem, yet created a much bigger one: software developer wasn`t happy to see that, and you can easily guess why!

Despite the fact that only a few dozens users (compared to many thousands on giveaway day) users accessed these topics after the giveaway day, we felt obliged to offer him a compensation doubling because we felt that our forums and comments sections were misused. But it`s not only about the money, it has a lot more to do with the moral aspect of the situation.

Please, please notice that by helping someone with a license key or a registry entry being posted in our forums and comments section you might solve a short-term problem… yet you will hurt the project in a long run. No technical problem should be used as an approval for making licensing information freely available after the giveaway day, and I really hope that the unpleasant situation in which we are now, will teach all of us, both GAOTD maintainers and visitors, an important lesson and help us avoid such situations in future.
