I'm guess in you are joking around, but just in case...
If someone does something nice for someone else (loans you money, finds a figure for you, etc), most people try and pay them back. There was a movie back in the 90s where a kid would "Pay It Forward" instead since the person being nice to him did not want to be payed back. So the kid did something nice for someone else and asked that they "Pay it Forward". It snowballed into acts of kindness throughout the movie. People in the world today have implemented this into their lives as well.
In the thread I am talking about, a new person can come in there and talk with folks 24/7 (for the most part) and when they see a contest pop-up, they can try and win the prize which is given away for free. Once, you win a prize, you are asked to then find something in your Joe collection you don't need or could live without and then come up with a way to let others win it from you. Contests are as simple as stating that the first person to respond to your post stating they want what you are offering - wins, all the way to elaborate trivia games, post count games, to the "Trigger Man" game where massive posting ensues and the giver drops a bomb during the discussions and everyone quickly posts "I want to win" until a winner is determined by post count after the bomb is dropped.
It's a lot of fun and you can give away stuff you don't need to those who want it and win stuff you want as well. I won a 2002 Crimson Viper from the Joe Con set! My post at the top of this page is my tracking list of stuff I won and stuff I gave out. (BTW, I updated it today).
If you feel inclined, join in. If not, no worries mate!
