You guys asked for it, and you got it!!! :)

Dear MCC Members:

We are happy to announce that our new "Member Hibernation System" is now active. Starting today (12/5/08), any member that does not log in for a long period of time will have their member account automatically put into hibernation mode and will be excluded from being awarded prizes in all contests and raffles.

If that member logs in again, their account will automatically be put back into all contests and raffles and they will have a chance to be awarded prizes the following day. This does not mean that the member will have a better chance of winning once their account is active again.

This new system will help to prevent MCC from awarding so many prizes to members who don't log in to claim them. This will also make the chances of winning much better for those members who do check MCC for prizes they may have won.

We are still working out the "system bugs" so please bare with us while we perfect this new feature. Please feel free to e-mail us if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for your patience, support, and participation.

Sincerely,

The MCC Team
