| Unfortunately, it seems some people are abusing the free rentals to some extent. Whether due to time constraints, STEI, whatever. Please, if you know you're not going to have time to work on one, take a pass, or send it along and add yourself back to the list. There's no reason games that take a day or 2 should be sitting for a month before they get touched, while other people are waiting for them. Thanks. 8) |

| Highly agree, have been wanting to get these things moving again. Based on what I've see so far, my next rentals will most likely be taken in a pm only way. |

| So does this mean I'm not the only one keeping rentals for a long time? |

The STEI made me keep Jericho longer then wanted (it's been en route to British Columbia for just over a week...from GA, it takes awhile, not out of the ordinary!). My other one is getting sent off Monday hopefully, just due to being *really* busy this time of year!
I do apologize again to Griffey and Badson over the delay on my end! |

| Yeah, it was cool at first, but the way it's been going lately has put me off wanting to donate any more games ever again. |

I know that holding games for 3-5 weeks on my part was quite bad, though I did let them know I had them and why!
How bad is the "holding" of games for the rest of you donators and what can I do to help speed it along? |

Well, I'm awful at the rentals lately. So, when Spongebob ships out Monday, I will be holding off getting any for an extended period.
Most likely I will not borrow any more until I start up some new rentals.
Communication is key for me, though. If I message someone and get no response, or the person does not do what they say, or they do not follow my rules, then they are off my lists.
It did become a bit big, at least the ones I was doing, and became a bit too much work.
When I get back into the rental system, I may be a bit more streamlined. A rotation of a few of at a time. |

| I apoligize for keeping Monopoly for so long, went out of town and as soon as we got back, we had to put my gf's car in the shop. Since she's working right now, she had the car every day. I have mailed it out to Turbo112. The DC is in my wallet I will post it tomorrow. |

| I couldn't get DC for a package to Canada, but your game should be arriving any day. I've been slow on many games for a while, but I know in my case, I've been the last one on the lists until recently. My apologies, just been busy with work and got behind during the STEI. |

I still have Sing It because everyone on the renters list has played the game, there are people waiting to be placed ono the list but the owner of the game hasn't approved them to the list. I have also sent out messages over Live to the owner but I get no response.
I also got sent losts of games at the same time and I am chugging along. Finsihed Sing It, Sing It HSM3, CSI Deadly Intent, Ben 10, gonna give Amped 3 one last try (very frustrating game to me) then send it off, and then work on Alone in the Dark. I managed to scrape up enough will power to decline Dirt at the moment because I don't want to hang on to another game longer than it should be necessary. |
