    They'll be dissapointed.

    Anyone caught trying to spam their way to 25 posts will find that their postcount never makes it over 24.

    this includes resurrecting dead posts.

    We'd love for more people to contribute to the community , but if you can't do that and make 25 useful , relevent posts then why should you get freebies ?
    The reason I've not used Hexus is I didn't want to post a load of crap to get to 50 to get it the sales area, and I'll not do it to get this offer.
    I already use scan but I'll not use them now, my order today will go to one of the other on-line dealers

    Isn't that a bit like cutting your nose off to spite your face?

    Excellent, I'm already a SCAN customer, should be ordering 2 or 3 computers through them soonish.

    I plan on sticking around here too, so you'll get 23 plus another few thousand more constructive posts.

    Thanks!

    I've had some poor experiences with Scan in the past tbh but perhaps i'll give them one more chance. Pre-sales no worries, post sales not so much fun.

    Bugger... I'm brokey broke broke... But hey... there's always the time when I'm NOT brokey broke broke...

    Plus, knowing the Scan dudes like I do, they'll sort you out right as... Not had any experience of after sales support, but pre-sales and sales support has always been excellent... except when you get them drunk...

    Just pretend you didnt know about this offer if it bothers you that much.

    I'm not bothered, it's like when my mortgage lender offered discounts to new members, but wouldn't give me any discount, I changed lender.
    I don't know if scan have thought about it, but giving discounts to new customers and not there present ones could do the same.

    They're not giving a discount to "new" customers, they're giving free delivery to active HEXUS members, which includes new and old customers alike.

    If you think about it this way, you'll only need to make another 17 constructive posts and you get the free delivery anyway..

    Not being funny - what you on? I can not work out why you think you have a 'right' to be able to use the sales area on HEXUS without giving back? Meaning sure - we could do it so you pay a 'sub to HEXUS and then we give it to you without posts?

    Why should you get a 'free ride' and free carriage from SCAN without being part of the community?

    I don't know if scan have thought about it, but giving discounts to new customers and not there present ones could do the same.

    It is not a right - it is an offer.

    The reason they are doing this is due to the HEXUS/SCAN relationship.

    They have seen how much this community has given them.
