Hi everyone, We have an important community announcement. Starting this Saturday, February 14, Goozex will discontinue the upfront sign-up bonus for new members that join Goozex. That bonus has been 1 free trade credit plus 100 points at sign-up. Instead, new members will receive 1 trade credit at sign-up. The sign-up bonus for new members was meant to be a marketing tool to help new members try out the Goozex trading system and prove to them it really does work. Thanks to the awesome Goozex community, we’ve received great press (EGM - RIP, GamesRadar, Destructoid, Forbes, CAG, and the Internet) and customer reviews (RatePoint at 4.80 out 5, awesome Digg comments, Youtube, and of course, the Internet). The sign-up bonus doesn't seem to be needed as much anymore given our community support. We are turning our efforts to support the buzz our members create about Goozex. We think your story on Goozex is the best marketing tool we’ve got. We want you to be excited about telling your friends your story about saving money on Goozex, getting that game you always wanted to play, finding new people to play online with, and most importantly, getting that great hassle-free value for your game. If you haven’t seen our growth chart, click here to see how you’ve built an amazing game trading community! http://www.goozex.com/community/blogs/goozex_news/archive/2009/02/08/goozex-tower-of-power.aspx Ready to invite your friends?

I feel that this is a good descision. I mean, so many people oined,got one free game, and then just left Goozex. Now the site may get more active users.
MY TACO IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!!!!!
Excellent decision. Hopefully this will eliminate the number of inactive accounts that just signed up for the free game. It should also elminate some of the inactive timeouts for matches and system generated feedback due to the 21 day timeout.
I approve.

Great idea.
I can't believe you guys grew 300% in only a year - congrats!

Sweet. Not only did Goozex grow 300% in one year, but this decision will make me more confident in sending out 100 point games since I know people aren't just going to grab the game and run away. It really will make people stick around instead of ditching the site.
I am also excited to hear about growing 300% in only one year. Also taking away the 100 points will help stop multiple accounts being created. I will be sending out more 100 point games with confidince from now on :D.
Smart move on removing the 100 pts. Congrats on the growth.
Glad a noobie just requested NBA Live 2003 for the gamecube from me now, because it's going to get ALOT harder to move 100 point games from now on.

Seems like a smart move. Thanks for the information.

That is true, I didn't think about that. I think every single one of my 100 pt game trades have been to new members.

This is why i never traded 100pt games; i would rather trade games to active users who are going to stimulate the goozex community; perhaps i may start trading them
