A forum search will provide an answer, which is yes people have won. However Hexus never bothers to let anyone know so the only way you can tell is if the winners announce it themselves.Originally Posted by Singh400
Complained about it a couple years ago, still nothing has been done... I wonder how many of those "behind the scenes" things have actually managed to get done? Wouldn't be surprised if it was less than 20%
Public notice of winners
DR (22-04-2011),shaffaaf27 (24-04-2011)
I just wish there were a few which were only open to active community members, or maybe even just registered forum members. I realise the prizes are donated from manufacturers for publicity, but some of those manufacturers are connected with Hexus, so it would be nice if they rewarded Hexus members, not just Hexus viewers.
I know there are plenty of people who only visit Hexus for the main site, and that's fair enough, but I feel the site and forums are too disconnected, so it would be nice if there were a few more crossovers every now and then.
I mean, most Hexus staff don't even post in the forums, save for in threads created for Hexus articles, which is a real shame. You feel very disconnected from them.
I won a copy of a Warhammer Mark Of Chaos a while back .I never *expect* to win, but I enter pretty much every compo nontheless.
If there was one thing I wish Hexus could fix it would be that the announcement of winners is rarely made, and when it is it's usually waaaaaaaaaaaay behind the published date.
Entered, nothing to loose after all..
I never win anything!
When I read the banner on the front page I wondered "Why would I want to win a radeon 9600?" then I realized it was a typo. xD
Entered! Going to be keeping my fingers crossed for this comp!
Dentist, and general teeth lover.
6990 please, cheers Hexus

People do usually get the prizes ... often quite late but you can't really complain when they are such good prizes. TBH the only thing that is a slight shame is that often the people that win the competitions just signup to the site to enter the comp then win it and then never comeback on here again.
I think something like the 20 posts that is inplace for the scan free delivery would be fairer, but i know the mods are very against the idea and when the prizes are this good for just answering an easy question you can't whinge too much
GL to everyone (by everyoe I mean myself).
You don't need to sign up to the site to enter the comps.

Well I think that kind of demonstrates my point even more. Although there is suppose to be one guy who signed up after he won the comp and was then an active forum member ... but i think that is the exception that proves the rule.
Entered... though I'm getting OCD/paranoia that I clicked "a) Attractive Modern Design" ... did i leave the gas on this morning??
That's not the answer? Balls...Entered... though I'm getting OCD/paranoia that I clicked "a) Attractive Modern Design" ... did i leave the gas on this morning??
