I think it is a GREAT idea Lisa. Not sure the cruise lines would go with it, so I voted "Other".

I see that the voting is a 3 way tie at the moment! I voted no. Frubals are fun and I'd miss them.

I haven't begged for quite some time now, but my count is steadily rising. I know...it's not the original intent of frubals and I'm really surprised that Rex has let it continue without modifications.

I suppose the overall post count is a lot higher because of those "particular" threads. I have noticed that a lot of message boards have off topic areas that are quite well populated, so there is a need for them for the "friendship" factor.

I just think people who post informative threads (something we can all use...or at least something fresh and entertaining) should be given a free 7 day cruises...free sports cars (hey, we can dream!) ...or maybe a t-shirt. But not people who beg for frubals. And trust me...if there was something being given away based on frubal count, we'd suddenly have even more begging than we have now.

Julie,

Thanks for the frubals and voting in the poll. I understand where you are coming from regarding informative threads or the entertaining threads, also understand you not liking people begging for frubals.

But there have been and are contests that the prize is frubals. I would much rather have something besides just frubals but it also would sure be nice to be able to spend them on something, even if it was a t-shirt or something.

Since this site is free and doesn't require dues don't see stuff just being given away unless they can get someone to foot the bill for it. My thoughts on the free berth is that it would be good advertising for the cruise lines if they could be persuded to do this. There could be stipulations that you still are responsible for the taxes and port charges and that the other berth has to be occupied or paid for in cash and not frubals.

Just my humble opinion and you are welcome to yours and I understand your point of view, just also wanted to get mine out there also.

Thanks,

Lisa

Lisa I totally agree with you. Frubals are fun, but nothing beats something you can actually spend. But guess what? I won a cruise here on CLF. I really and truly did! OK, it wasn't exactly a whole free cruise...because CLF was young and just getting started, and they were on a budget. But I really did win some real live money to put toward a cruise, which I most certainly did! Maybe if you ask real nice Rex and the gang would do another cruise giveaway.
