GrahamThe mystery box
I've just had one of the boxes crash on my doorstep

Not sure which one it is though. Could whoever sent it to me please email as there isn't a list of previous recipiants.
Thanks, mystery sender

Graham,
Is there a picture on the side of the box? Something like a "puzzle box"?

BoldlygoneIf you are referring to the Lament Configeration Box, when I sent it to Wolfie, the picture of the hellraier Box
was on the inside.

Peter cloetCan you contact the recipient through email?
I would love to know where the boxes are because it's really quiet in here.

tsmeltzerIt has been more than a month and only one of the boxes has moved (Lament Config). Where are the rest? Why aren't they moving?
I am disappointed to say the least.

Peter cloetCould maybe everybody who has a box post it because it looks like we lost the track of most of the boxes.

Peter cloetit's very quiet in here. Does somebody know something.

barobehereThe only thing that I know is that way back when I started The Mystery Box there was a reason I had a limit on the number of boxes. I started with 1 which balloned to three. With so many boxes out the "rare" event of getting a Mystery Box has become a commonplace event. There is no urgency to send a box out if there are 12 of them out there to look for! If the eyes of the entire forum is not on the one but dozens there is so much less pressure to keep it going. Just my opinion.

wolfieThe idea of having so many boxes was so that people would not have to wait so long to get one.
The reality ( it seems to me ) is that virtually all the boxes that have been sent out since day 1 have vanished into thin air along with their contents.
If people did not want to send them on they should not have put their name down to recieve them.
I hope they all suddenly reappear and start circulating again but i am not holding my breath.
This was a great idea which we tried to improve and expand upon but everyone involved has been let down by the people who got the boxes and did not send them on.
Since the start there must have been nearly a dozen boxes and care packages started and sent into circulation and i cannot remember the last time someone said they had recieved one.
It is all very dissapointing after all the work that went into them.

tsmeltzerTo all concerned: Until the boxes resurface and start circulating again, I will not be adding any new names to the list of folks interested in receiving the boxes.

GrahamI will contact my sendee to find out what's happened to it.

WarriorBabeI'm really dissapointed that members haven't stuck to the rules eg re-send within 2 weeks.
As far as i'm concerned, putting your name down to recieve a box is a consent to those rules.
If someone doesn't stick to them, barring a good reason, they should be taken off the list to recieve boxes in the future.

hollypopA few people have my address due to some trading I've done with them but I've never received a mystery box.
I know it's supposed to take awhile before a person is to get one but I just wanted you all to know that I don't have it/any.
